- el 4 . Followers of St. L CARDINALS OF THIS YEAR - ‘A VASTLY IMPROVED TEAM Acquisition of Myers and Return to Health of Lavan, With Bottomly at First and Toney and Pertica in Form, Boosts Stock. BY MARTI Of the Staff of the St. N summing up the chances of the various teams in the National League race for 1923 don’t overlook the St. Louis Cardinals. Here is a vastly improved ball club, which generally is being overlooked by those unacquainted with the existing situation as compared to the con- ditions vrevailing last spring, when the Rickeymen opened on crutches, and last fall, when they finished in a tie for third place with thé Pitts- burgh Pirates. Here is a club which at this writing is stronger by many points than the Cardinals frem March 1 to October 1, 1922, . _ There are any number of rock-bottom reasons for the improvement of the Knot-holers, First and foremost is the acquisition of the outfield stabilizer, Hi Myers: then the return to health of Shortstop Johnny Levan, the assigning of the clever fielding and hard-hitting Jim Bottomly to first basc, the presence of Fred Toney and the turning of a new leat by Bill Pertica, who filly out a pitching staff of seven veterans. For years the Cardinals have been = minus a center fielder who could cover the position with his head and ! arm as well as with hix pedal ex- tremities. Now they have one of | the best defensive middle l.'l\r(lenn\”l in the business in Myers, who, in addition, can be relied upon to hit | his .300 or better annually.

As to Lavan, looked upon as the third improvement in the defense of the Cardinals, he reported in fine physical condition. His health was quite a pleasant surprise to every one who had held out only pity for him last vear. During the winter Manager Rickey remarked repeatedly that Cardinal chances in 1923 hinged in the main upon the defense at the shortfield. 1f Lavan's showing to date is a true indication of what is to come, the Cards will be well fortified at short. Ambitious Youngsters. At present he appears sct for a winning season, not solely because of his apparent excellent health, but because of the fine showing of the two Youngsters pressing him for his position. ~ These are Roscoe Holm, fowa University collegian, who holds | the inside track to the understudy position at present through his sen- sational and Howard Freigau, Wesleyan College. The case of Fred Toney is that of | -the veteran plaver eager to ‘make #ood after being turned adrift by a championship ball club with label attached “all through. He has indicated beyond doubt that he is anxious to prove to every one baseballically inclined that he is far from a has-been. The fourth son for the improve- ment of the Cardinals is the change in Right-hander Bill Pertica. A sick | man last seasom, the former coast leaguer developed a mean disposition and lost interest in base ball and things in general. He did not care whether he played ball or not. He proved this on many occasions. It is different with Pertica now. In perfect health, he looks forward to a | great campaig) He was one of Rickey's best bets in 1921, his first year as a Cardinal. Team Has Good Subs. When Manager Rickey planned this 1923 training season he decided he | | ! | from Ohio | was not going to be found wanting ; Gold in capable substitute material, as was | the case in 1922, when a series of the most disheartening and undermining “breaks” cut down regular after reg- ular. It does not seem likely that ‘the | devastating_ hands of the fates will weave similar inroads on the same club's_first-water material again in 1923, but Rickey refuses to believe the odds are favorable to him in this respect for 1923. He is not to be caught napping again. He has the reserve: McCurdy is one of three recruit athletes sure of holding his job. His rapid development to a capable catcher from the raw recruit who re- ported direct from Illinois University Jast summer is such that Manager | Rickey openly predicts a first-string | responsibility for him with the Cards in_a couple of years. Eddie Ainsmith, former Washington and _Detroit receiver, probably will do the bulk of the catching for the Cards this vear. as he did in 192 Ed was one of the worst catchers in the league in 1922 when flelding per- centage alone is taken into considera- tion, but he was one of the most valuable in all-round play, including | Dbitting. Last year he enjoyed one of the best batting seasons he ever had.

There will be no trouble about the alleys, balls or pins, as the ma#hagement has procured the best on the market | and employed cxperts to_ place the drives in spick and span order. The Grand Central management certainly is outdoing itself to prepare for the cham- pionships. The closing of the entries has been shifted from last night until midnight tomorrow as to allow the bowlers in the government departments to figure if they can stand the expense after re- ceiving theelr bimonthly checks from Uncle Sam. By that time the Nautical League will be in a position to dedide just how many teams it will have in the Dbig smash. The Southern Rallway League is in the same boat and it will decide Monday evening how many it will have to represent its organiza- tion. Up to last night the receipt of entries indlcated that a_majority of the bowl- ing leagues of the city had decided to take part in a body. The Agricultural League goes in with eight teams, the !Internal Revenue with ten, the CAarry Ice Cream League with eight, the Knights of Columbus with eight, and the Bankers' League with twelve. At the annual meeting of the Dis trict League the following officers were elected: President, Henry Tait Rodier; vice president, J. W. Wood: secretary Arthur H, Urban; treasurer, Harry F. Krauss; séorer, Horace B. Elmer. Urban was elected delegate to the city asso- ciatiog. The only new official is Wood, the well known manager of the King Pin alleye. ! - President Rodier will give two prizes for the best set and best single game in the coming tourney of the city asso- ciation. A special night will be given over to_the District League bowlers. It was determined at the meeting that |a team having alleys of its own must keep them in first-class condition or hlvg the home games transferred to other drives. . The Masonic League .will hive at least sixteen teams entered, perhaps more, in the tourney. . A special night will be set aside for this organiza- tion, and a gala affair is predicted. Roy Whitford.

Like a thoroughbred racer, it ran close to the leaders all through the season and then, when the sttéfch was reached, shot to the front by :trim- ming the Anacostias in the last week of play. Toomey finished the season with an average Of 110, Al Works | piled up an average of 115, but was ineligible for the offficlal I e leag- ership because of’ his. failure to participate in a sifficient number of games. Close behind ~Toontey, the leader, came McCarthy, with an av- erage of 109. Three bowlers like this trio would be apt to place almost any team in the front. \ = : The weason of 1822-2% is fdst draw- ing to a close, and only two leagues will continue the struggle, the Odd Canstonos bout, George Kotsonaros and Aliah Hassan will meet. Kot- sonaros is very Greek and Hassan just as much Turk. There should be action in that affair. This early tilt will start at 8:15 o'clock.
