B8 S CHAPS ALL SET WITHOUT ROOKIES Deans Figure to Win Half| Enough Games to Keep Flag, Says Writer. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, March 2.—It is noted that a New York betting com- | missioner is quoting the St. Louis Cardinals as 8-to-5| favorites for the National League pennant. I do not see how the Gas ouse boys can miss. ‘With no assistance from the recruits Frankie Frisch will inspect at Braden- ton, the Cardinals still will be the best team in their league and should win with greater ease than in 1934, when they did not put a clincher on| the flag until the final day of the campaign. New York and Chicago may annoy the Cardinals for a while, but they do not appear to have suf- ficient strength to carry the battle into the stretch. The Cardinals will be a better ball team, if only because the dazzling Deans will be satisfied workmen Both Diz and Daf have signed contracts which will bring them a financial re- | ward commensurate with their abilities | and Sam Breadon will have no strikes on him this year, although opposing batters will have plenty. The Deans now are established as the greatest | pitchers in base ball and they will be throwing on behalf of that reputation | as well as the dear old Cardinals. The brothers should be good for 50 vic-| tories, and there's half of a pennant percentage. S ing with “Sassy” Bill Delancey to do the bulk Of the work and “Spud” Davis on hand to help with odd assignments. The infield is nifty, with “Ripper” Collins, Frisch, Durocher and Martin, the pepper pot. holding down the assignments. Charlie Gelbert, the grand shortstop, who was injured while hunting a few seasons back, now believes he is ready for action, and, if he can resume his place | on the team. the Cardinals will be well protected at shortstop. Burgess ‘Whitehead also is a handy young mitten for infield work and Frisch probably will find further aid in one or two of the youngsters brought up from Cardinal farms. “Apple Annie” Joe Medwick and | Jack Rothrock are certain to hold | down the right and left field posi- tions, but there will be a red-hot tussle | for the middle garden berth. A couple | of Moore boys are coming up from | Columbus and either or both of them may stick with the parent team. Ter- rence Moore, a 2l-year-old not long off the St. Louis sandlots, was a bril- liant performer in the American As- | | Gelbert Feels He's Ready. T. LOUIS is (‘crtam of fine catch- sociation, and, despite his limited ex- 1 f perience, may make the big league grade. Have Other Pitchers. ERRENCE can hit, run, throw and field, and nothing more ever is asked of any man. Gene Moore is not so sensational as Terry, but a good, steady hand and likely to | see ' considerable work in the Card line-up. Ernie Orsatti, the game little | Italian, also will bid to retain the center field job, and, if he has recov- | ered from his hurts of last Fall, will be plenty valuable. While the Deans are half the Carrl- inal pitching staff, Frisch can expect | consistent work from Bill Walker, | the tall leftie, who was going like a | forest fire last Summer until injured. Bill had regained all of the stuff he: ever threw for the Giants and should | be a sure winner this Summer. Pat PORTS. Gelbert Is Sure He’s Fit to Play By the Associated Press. RADENTON, Fla, March 2— “I'm confident I'm fit for full- time major league duty.” That's how Charley Gelbert to- day announced his drive to wrest away the shortstop position on the world champion Cardinals from Leo “Lippy” Durocher. He showed unexpected stamina and agility in the work out. Gelbert, whose base ball days seemed over two years ago, when he accidentally shot himself in the leg, has made a determined fight to come back.

They showed that in winning the National League flag on a stretch drive last year and then grabbing the world series from Detroit. They are | perhaps the best money team since the old Boston Red Sox or Philadel- phia Athletics of 1910-1914 and never | admit defeat until the final out is| turned. Such a crew will ride over many obstacles, and, at this distance, it is impossible to see how the Cards can be blocked out of the champion- | ship. | COURT FLAG FLIES FOR PROOF SECTION Foul Shots Bring 24-22 Victory Over Linotype in Play-Off for G.

HE basket ball tilt undoubtedly marked a new low in caliber and a new high in comedy, but despite its sloppiness, the tilt was keenly contested. ‘The Johnnies, taking the floor with four freshmen in the line-up—Ross, Lambros, Power and Len Delisio— assumed an 8-to-3 lead in the first 10 minutes of play, when Maryland persistently outfumbled them. With the injection of Al Waters, Maryland braced and ran up three consecutive field goals to take a 9-to-8 lead at the half. Waters accounted for two of the goals, while Charley Keller kicked in with the other. The final 20 minutes was worse than sloppy. Neither team could pass nor catch passes. The shooting, with one exception, was woeful. The exceplion was Johnny Lambros, who played a bang-up game throughout for St. John’s. After Bill Andorka had sent the score to 11-8 in favor of Maryland, starting the second half, Lambros dropped in two double-deckers and Len Delisio another to assume a 14- to-11 lead that never was relinquished. It was the Terrapins’ most dismal : performance of a spotty season. Summary: t. John's (24), 8t. Jol nlux". Keller. &. Guckeyson.i Sothoron, | woncusccal Totals...11 224 Referee—Tommy Degnan. .

He finally gained command after four circuits of the board oval and had no competition the rest of the way. John Meaden, a Cornell sophomore, furnished the big surprise by coming from behind with a brilliant finish | to take third place, 6 yards behind Scheu. Sets a Relay Record. Manhattan’s freshman medley re- lay team made a runaway of its event and set a new meet record of 7:23.7 for the aggregate distance of 2,900 meters. This wiped out the mark of 7:39.4, registered by Boston College’s gs last Winter. After failing to place in the 1,500~ meter run, Manhattan’s Bill Ray came back soon afterward to register a smashing 800 meters anchor leg in the 3,200-meter varsity relay and car- 1y his team to triumph. Ray collapsed after breaking the tape 5 yards in front of Hines of Boston College. — EAGLES LOSE FINALE Drop Basket Ball Contest to Vir- ginia Medical, 28 to 31. American University’s basket ball team ended a mediocre season last night when it bowed to the Virginia Medical College five of Richmond in a 31-28 struggle on the A. U. court. It was a fine fight all the way, with the visitors holding a 17-15 edge at the half. The Eagles threatened in the last minute when Bob Gillétte, the game’s scorer, twice rimmed the bas- ket. Gillette counted 15 points. Staff Cassell, another forward, also played well for A, U. Grossman and Hanna were high men for the Medicos. = b Do e ouls! irossman. % 4 Totals. .
