Enos Slaughter
Tears welled up in his eyes as Enos (Country) Slaughter hung up his Cardinal shirt "9" for the last time today (April 12) before leaving to join the New York Yankees. Slaughter, identified for the past 20 years on the playing field by that number, was transferred to the Yankees yesterday. The veteran outfielder has been with the Red Bird team for the past 16 years.
Enos Slaughter Batting
"In all the previous Cardinal games this season, Enos Slaughter had hit only two homers but he equaled that total with four-baggers on successive trips to the plate in the third and fifth innings yesterday at Sportsmans Park and as Pitcher Lon Warneke was on base in the third, he accounted for all runs in the Red Birds' 3-to-2 victory over the Reds. Slaughter is seen here batting with Ernie Lombardi catching and George Magerkurth the umpire behind the plate."
Enos Slaughter Tagged Out
"The base-runners came off second best on both of these plays during the Cards-Cubs game at Sportsmans Park yesterday. Enos Slaughter is out by a step at first on his grounder to Billy Herman in the third. Phil Cavarretta is the Cub first baseman. The Cubs won, 6 to 5."

Eric Pogue
Right Wing, Uniform No. 7 Eric Pogue. Born Agincourt, Ont., May 8, 1929. Right Wing, Shoots Right, 5' 10" 160 lbs. Last Amateur Club: Oshawa Generals. Another ex-Cleveland player obtained by the Flyers in an early season deal for veteran center Red Doran, is Eric Pogue, swift moving St. Louis right winger. A standout in amateur hockey, Pogue turned pro with Pittsburgh in 1948-1949 and saw little action that first year. Last season after a brief stay with the Hornets Pogue was sent to their Los Angeles farm team and played in 25 games for the Monarchs. In the playoffs he really caught fire and in 17 games scored 10 goals and 9 assists. A consistent scorer since hitting a regular berth in the lineup, the energetic Pogue has quickly established himself as a favorite with the fans and his aggressive play has brought him well deserved popularity.
Eric Pogue
Uniform number 7... Eric Pogue... Right Wing... Age 23... Weight 161... Height... 5'8 1/2"... Last year with the Flyers scored 50 points with 24 goals and 26 assists.
Eric Pogue
Right Wing, Uniform No. 7 Eric Pogue. Born Agincourt, Ont., May 8, 1929. Right Wing, Shoots Right, 5' 10" 160 lbs. Last Amateur Club: Oshawa Generals. Obtained from the Cleveland Barons last year in exchange for Red Doran, Eric Pogue will be starting his first full season with the Flyers this year. Considered one of the top prospects when he turned pro with Pittsburgh three years ago, Pogue has shown a steady improvement the past two years and had his best season in pro hockey with the Flyers last year. Nicknamed 'showboat', Pogue is considered one of the best skaters on the club and possess enough ability to hold down a regular right wing berth with the Flyers this year, gaining it in the face of strong competition for positions on this year's club.

Flying High
"[continued from title] for the return throw to First Baseman Eddie Waitkus is Shortstop Granville Hamner, after he had taken the former's throw to force out Stan Rojek at second base Sunday at Sportsmans Park during the Cards-Phillie game.
