NEW YORK (R)-Stan Musial
of the St. Louis Cardinals, who
usually lets his bat do his talking
for ' him, is making good on a
spring training prediction.
The 35-year-old stalwart con-

Fla., last March that he expected
to nail down his seventh National
League hitting title this season.
Musial is starting to make his
move and has spurted into the
league lead with a .327 average
one point more than Cincinnati's
Ed Bailey. Figures include games
through Sunday.
Mickey Mantle of the New York
Yankees maintains his American'
League supremacy with a .365 av-
erage with Detroit's Charley Max-
well trailing at .352. The Tigers'
Harvey Kuenn remains third with
.349.
Musial also is the National
League runs batted in pace-setter
with 69 and Cincinnati's Ted
Kluszewski heads the home-run
derby with 23. Mantle continues to
lead the American League in ho-
mers with 30 and RBI's with 74.

Buhl's 11th against four defeates,
made it a clean sweep of the three-

was seldom in trouble. He yielded
seven hits, one of them Frank
Thomas' 16th homer of the sea-
