Description: APRIL 8, 1961 @ ST. LOUIS CARDINALS TICKET STUB vs NEW YORK YANKEES EXHIBITION SEE SCANS FOR CONDITION: normal shelf wear and tear The Redbirds won, 8-6. Julian Gets 4 Straight Base Hits By Neal Russo When someone called i "Babe" Javier and "Jolting Julie," the Cardinals' second baseman frowned and said, "Feel my arm, no muscles, I'm skinny. That was just a lucky shot." That "lucky shot" was the genuine article, a bomb borrowed from the rival Yankees' arsenal. Julian Javier's booming shot head to the centerfield wall at the 425-foot mark.The big blow, first of four consecutive hits by Javier, touched off the first Redbird rally in an 8-6 exhibition baseball victory over New York yesterday at Busch Stadium. Play Today. This afternoon the Cardinals tried for their sixth triumph in seven spring games with the defending American League champions. The same teams meet again here tomorrow at 1: 30. Besides Javier's bat feast and his clutch play on a dangerous grounder hit by Yogi Berra, acting manager Johnny Keane and his fellow coaches were pleased with Don Landrum's swinging against lefthanders.They also liked the Redbird pitching, even though starter Bob Miller was wild and Al Cicotte had to overcome early trouble as the club's spring mark rose to 15-10. "Miller had good stuff, but he tried to be too fine," Keane said. "The better hitters like the Yankees won't go after the bad ball." The young righthander walked five, struck out five, allowed five hits and four runs in his five innings. He made 93 pitches. "That should be enough work to have him ready for next Thursday in Milwaukee," pitching coach Pollet said."He's still No. 2 among the starters." (Ernie Broglio will face the Braves in Tuesday afternoon's National League opener in Milwaukee). Cicotte Set. rveane, in Limine Manager Solly 'Hemus took off to watch his daughter in a high school play in Houston, said that Cicotte's three-inning stint set him up for long relief Tuesday if needed. "I wasn't loose enough because I had to rush my Cicotte said.He allowed two runs in the sixth and two walks, followed by Hector Lopez's double just inside the right field line and Berra's single. Cicotte was happiest over his curve, which he threw for the first time this spring. He used the curve to strike out Mickey Mantle. In his previous time at bat in the fifth, the Yankee slugger had lifted a low sinker from Miller onto the pavilion roof in right-center. Mantle's sixth spring homer went over the 354-foot marker.Most impressive of the day's eight pitchers was Bob Tiefenauer, who appears set to stick this time with the team that started him off. With catcher Gene Oliver's over-sized glove as a target, Tiefenauer made just nine pitches in his only inning, the ninth. He threw nine 'knuckleballs, seven for strikes. St. Louisan Leroy Thomas and Bill Skowron went down swinging before Tony Kubek flied deep to end the 2-hour-57-minute game."Tiefenauer ought to stop a lot of bats with that knuckler," Yankee Elston Howard said. Keane Praises Control. Said Keane, "He can control it anytime too, even on 3-1 and 3-2 counts." Control was rare on a cold afternoon 55 degrees that brought out only 3422 customers for the Yankees' first appearance here since 1953. New York hurlers walked six, hit two batters and made one wild pitch. The Cardinals gave up seven walks and made one wild pitch.Late shadows helped swell the game strikeout total to 19. An odd five-run sixth inning overcame a 6-3 Yankee lead. With Dodger castoff Danny Mc-Devitt in relief of starter Aiex Grammas singled. Then Javier beat out a high bounder to fill the bases. Landrum, who had two sharp hits off southpaws, was hit by a pitch and Bill White walked to force in two runs and force out McDevitt.Jim Coates also needed a bomb-sight. After Bob Nieman walked to force in another run, Berra was called for interference when he tipped Cicotte's bat WINNING BIDDER TO ADD $5 FOR SHIPPING VIA USPS IN A BUBBLE MAILER WITH TRACKING.
