Cardinals, Favored. to Cop Flag, Believed ‘Over-Rated MANY WEAK PLACES IN CARD LINE-UP Uncertain Infield Makes Gas House Gang Questionable Pennant Contenders MOUND STAFF IS STRONG Warneke, _ ‘Dizzy’ Dean Wil Carry Hurling Burden; Paul Dean Not in Shape By HARRY GRAYSON Daytona Beach, Fla, Apr. 13.— (NEA)—It strikes me that the St. Louis Cardinals have a lot of prob- Jems for a club made favorite by the bettors and generally picked to win the National League pennant. Maybe the boys figure that Pepper Martin's Gas House band will blow, strum, sing, and strut its way down . dn front. Between Dizzy Dean's $25,- 500 contract and Maestro Martin's musicians, the Red Birds have more harmony than they have known since Dizzy’s high hard one made him im- Portant, but it will take more than a couple of good pitchers with music wherever they go to beat out the Giants, Cubs, and Pirates. ‘The Cardinals should obtain plenty of pitching from Dizzy Dean and Lon ‘Warneke, but after those two are listed the blokes in the red blazers “are no better off in the box than any other major league club. Mickey Owen can throw like blazes, ‘but he hasn’t a stroke at bat, and may lack the catching intelligence re- quired of a major leaguer. Johnny Mize’s fielding still is so questionable at first base that Branch Rickey has decided to carry a reserve first baseman, Dick Siebert. Stuart Martin still hasn’t his full strength following his severe attack of appendicitis, and the old warhorse, Frank Frisch, may have to start at second base. Shortstop is in the hands of the capable Leo Durocher. Gutteridge Light Hitter Don Gutteridge, up from Columbus, perhaps is. the fastest man in base- ball, but Branch Rickey admits he is.a streaky ball player, and he rey mot enjoy enough good streaks to make a go of it at third base. ~ Gutteridge drove in 99 runs in hit- ting 298 for Columbus, which is a record that barely would get him by peli a hard-hitting National League entry. Jimmy Brown, who hit .309 for Rochester, is a surplus infielder. Gutteridge and Terry Moore, the light-footed centerfielder, revealed such & tendency to hit at bad inside Pitches this spring’ that Branch noe” ordered them to the batting Sei to get back to the all-impor! department of pitching.
