UARDINALS SEEK | " PEANANT AGAIY Winners in 1996 and 1938 Ay pear {0 Have a Great Club | | Bradenton, Fla, March 13 (P1— |On their record as pennant winners lin 1926 and 1928, the St. Louis |Cardinals have had sufficient in- |terval to furnish impetus for another | | pennant drive. | | Their new manager, Charles (Gab- | |by) Street, has tackled his job with |a spirit of enthusiasm, manifesting | |no concern for the shortshrift cx-| | perienced by his immediate crop of | | predecessors. | “Some people may not think we | | have a great club but I think we have a real chance to win,” remark- |ed Street. His employer, and club | president, Sam Breadon, was even less conservative. “This is the best club we have had | |in recent years,” Breadon said. | Unfortunately, it will take more |than this optimism, more than the | excellent record of past perform- |ances to put the Cardinals in any- | thing approaching a contending posi- tion this year. The club's extensive | “farm system” has falled to produce all the replacements needed to check [the decling to the two-time cham- pionship machine. With only a few changes, some of which have not been for the bet- ter, the Red Birds are the same flock that Rogers Hornsby piloted to |the pennant in 1926 and Bill Me- Kechnie led to the top in 1325. The veteran pitching staff, featuring | Willie Sherdel, Jess Haines and Clar- |ence Mitchell, has gone somewhat rapldly downhill with no immediate reenforcements in sight to measure up to their old standards. If anything is to be accomplished this year by the Cards; in fact if they are to stick in the first division, they must uncover at least two or three new pitchers capable of carry- ing on where the veterans weaken or leave off. Gabby Strect, who handled Walter Johnson’s fast ones in the days of the Coffeyville Cyelone’s| prime, knows his pitchers, but he has a man-sized job on his hands to de- velop an effective corps out of the O¢ the principal , as in the case of the { scaso | Coun league teams, cach won |the game played on the other's [floor.

All possess a lot of the old stuff and their experience counts considerably but, as Street admits, “they need a lot of rest be- tween starts.” Sylvester Johnson, a courageous right hander, is only 29 and should be a mainstay. Jim Lindsey, who had a fine record with Houston, one of the Cardinal farms, may be the best of the newcomers. He is a big right hander with lots of stuff. Street has the task of finding two or three other steady workers from among Herman Bell, ‘Bill Hallahan., an er- ratic southpaw: Fred Frankhouse, Carmen Hill, the bespectacled for- | mer Pirate flinger; and Al Gra- |bowski. Bell has come back after a term with Rochester and Grabow- |ski was with Danville, Ill., most of |last season. Charles Flint Rhem, if he fufills a promise to reform his training habits, may contribute some right handed effectiveness. Hal | Haid is the chief relief man. | Behind the bat the veteran Earl “Smilh and Jimmy Wilson again will do most of the work, with Gus Man- |cuso ready to step in.

(Special to the Merald) Bristol, March 13 — Bristol High school's crack basketball squad, starting the season with only two regulars to defend the state cham- pionship which Coach Thomas M. Monahan’s charges had won for three consecutive years, have over- come their inexperience and will en- ter the Yale tournament tomorrow with the highest rating of any of the eight high school teams selected to contest for the Class A and B title.

Al Sloman whose basketball ability has carried him through all the changes and reorganization effected in the New Britain basketball team in the past two or three seasons, came out on top as the leader in the individual scoring column for the season which closed Saturday night. Sloman's consistency in scoring in every scason on which he has been a member af the New Britain quin- tet, has been remarkable. Players have come and gone in He has been a hard worker and as the years go by, instead of slowing has played a great game and he is without a doubt one of the best and most popular court performers ever to have been a member of a New Britain quintet. He had a total of 201 points for 19 games. The team played a total of 20 games during the year. Sloman missed one, a Saturday night en- counter when he was required to play with his school team. This gives him an average slightly in excess of 10 points per game. Jimmy Colling was second to Slo- man in the scoring lists with a total of 102 points. Colling' average for the time he was with New Britain was slightly better than 11 points a game. He and Sloman maintained about the same average throughout the year.

The Phillies and Glants turned him loose and he came to the A’'s two years ago, but had no chance of displacing cither Cobb or Speak- er, then with the Mackmen. Mack promised Bevo another chance and brought him back last year in ex- change for Ossie Orwoll. He is ex- pected to stick this year as the Athletics are shy on outfield re- |serves. 2 |Glenn Wright Suffers Slight Injury to Leg Clearwater, Fla..
