Cardinals Loom Strong. Hornsby is almost sure to hob up with a pretty nifty club in St. Louis There was a lot of dynamite in the Cardinal lineup last season, espe cially after Hornshy relieved Rickey as manager. The team must have improved pitehing to contest the lead- ership with the Pirates. Giants and Reds. and I think the Cardinals will get ft. The Cardinals have met with re- markable success in their training games, a_ two-hit game pitched by Bill Hallahan against the White Sox heing one of the outstanding achieve- ments. Hallahan is a left-hander who was with Syracuse last vear. Keen, formerly of the Cubs; Syivester John #on, Cobb’s erstwhile speedhall artist. | and Walter Huntzinger, McGraw's 1925 bull-pen pitcher, all have made favorable impressions on the St. Louis team’s training faunt. I 1 think better of the Cardinals now than I did when I first went South, my impression of the Browns 1= not nearly so favorable as before I | saw the team in action. The Browns Jast Winter loomed as possible cham- pions. Sisler's team still s almost certain 1o be a first division club, but 7 now do not think the club will come within 10 games of winning the pen- nant. The Browns probably will have | s fight on their hands with Detroit and the White Sox for fourth place. | Giants May Get Henline. ! John McGraw, Giant manager, has told some of his friends that Pitts- burgh can't win another pennant with the same pitchers that won for Mc- Kechnie last vear. On the other hand, another National League manager told me that McGraw cannot expect | 1o get back in the pennant class until | he recruits a new catching staff. De- | spite that. both of these clubs should | furnish most of the pennant excite- | ment this season. Don’t be surprised $f McGraw has “Butch” Henline before the season gets under way. Wilbert ~Robinson’s club hasn't Yooked so good in the South, but his pitching is much better this Spring, and with four pitchers like Vance. | | change: impressed every, one, is at second base in place of O'Rourke, while Warner and Mullen still are fighting it out for third. The latter falled to make theg rade with both the Browns nd Brooklyn, but that mustn't be | held against him.

Cobb also is pleased with Johns, last season with Forth Worth, but is real disappointed in Owen | Carroll, the sensational Holy Cross collegian.

THIS, despite the fact that White Owls always have been such re- markable value that the profit on each cigar has been buta fraction of a cent. : ¥ AND SO, with pleasure, we now announce that such a moment has arrived. Congress has reduced the tax rate on cigars, and we are passing along this reduction directly to the public. IT 1S OBVIOUSLY impossible to add to the gua/ity of White Owls. Mass produc- tion and enormous purchasing resources, made possible by the loyal support of millions of friends, enable us to use tobacco from the finest crop in years. Smokers, everywhere, are commenting on the greater sweesness of taste that this mellow, wonder-crop has pro- vided. So, in order to give the public the full benefit of this tax reduction, we have re- duced the price of White Owls. You can now get three of these popular cigars for 20 cents instead .of the usual two for 15 cents. i IN MAKING this announcement, we wish to #4an4 the millions of smokers who in the past, have enabled us to give such remarkable value and who now, by their conszant patron- age permit us to give— the same outstanding White Owl value but, NOW , at 3 for 20 cents [
