Cardinals Lead NL Pace as Other Clubs Scramble for Position
The St. Louis Cardinals hold a strong lead in the National League with about a .730 pace and a roughly 15 game cushion, while rivals chase pennants in a season of shifting standings. Golf balls donated for service men are reprocessed and distributed by the Red Cross, and Keeneland yearling sales open with big gambles and notable prices.
