Ilr nOTlKIlT W. MAXWELL,
H ports Kdltnr Ktenlmr rvr-lle Ledrer
r' Orange, Tex., Mtroh 10.
W1IVE mc one good pitcher," ald Urnnch Htclcey, "a
VJT pitcher who can go out and wlu twenty -five ball
Jamea in a eaon and I wltl not be afraid of any ball club
i the National League I am not about to explode with
nthuMaum, nor can It be aald that I am overly optimistic,
bat If n man like Alexander or Vaughn stepped into the
line-up of the Cardtt thJt jrar, c would be battling for
the pennant from the very atart. As I see It now, every
thing depends upon the pitching"
The manager of the Cardinals allowed himself a couple
f minutes to deliver thin address nt the ball park during
the practice seMion. Strewn all over the field were ball
players, Home good, others not ho good, a squad of forty
athletes all working at once and apparently enjoying their
work.
Rickey leaned against the fence, not thai he was tired,
Vut it was the best place to make u speech and keep an
ye on bis pitchers at the same time. Hill Doak, Jess
Balnea, mil Hherdel, Jakey May, Kerdlc Schupp "J
Marvin Goodwin were warming up, which was not diffi
cult under a tropical sun
"You can see for jourself," continued nickey, as he
pointed to his star fllngers. "There arc six good per
formers, but Haines is the only husky one In the hunch.
Most of our moundsmen are small, weighing from l."0
to 10.5 pounds. Thej do good woTk, but seem to lack the
ndumncp of an Alexander or Vaughn or Tnney and a lot
of the other big boys. Judas Priest, but 1 wish I could
find a husky pitcher sometime."
Then the peppery manager rushed away, spoke a few
words to Shcrdel, hmtled to the far corner of the field to
observe his rookies In butting practice, dashed into the
otHficId and told Higglnbotham, a recruit, how to back up
first base, and ran to the third base to have, a look at
couple of new men who were rehearsing there because
Milton Stock was holding out and had not signed the
papers.
TT IS a rare trtat to see the Si. Lout) Cards m
their training camp One sera something differ
ent, became Rickey hat such a smooth working
organisation. The icork ii so evenly divided that
every man on the tquad is doing his bit icithout
any extra noise or confusion. Xo time is trailed
because the Rickey system ts thorough. ,
Sugdcn Watches Hurlcrs
F)E example, Joe Sugden is responsible for the pitchers.
He keeps a mental notebook on evcrj man, known how
much work he has done, what condition he Is In, and how
long he can last in the game. Charley Harrett. the
veteran scout, Is the "fixer." He has the confidence of
the plnjers. lixtens to their trouble and patches up all
differences. Lew McCarthy looks after the catchers and
Johnny Lavan has charge of the sliding practice. Kerdlc
Bchupp Is boss of the bunting game and sees that certain
players get. that form of exercise. Tlert Shotton Ib field
general
Itlckey has a corps of assistants. He gives his men
ome responhlbility and they enjoj it Therefore, when
the players get out on the field, work begins at once, and
the different squads are kept busy until it is time to play
the afternoon game between the 'Varsltj and the Ooofs.
Out In right field the boss of the Cards has constructs
something new, so far as big league truining Is concerntj.
He has three batting cnges, like thoi-e ooe sees io college
gymnasiums Thej urc stationary, about seventy-five feet
long and a net on each side, nails hit to the right or left
bounce off this net and roll to the pitcher, and only those
hit Mraight travel to the outfield. This Is a wonderful Idea,
because three battrrn can work at once agsin'-t thret
pitchers, while another squad can use the regular diamond
for infield and outfield work. It is a time-saver, every man
has a chance to hit as long as he desires, and a lot of the
preliminary work which clogs up the Important practice is
done awuy with.
Thus it can be sen that the Cards this year nre getting
nough practice, the men are in the best ph.vsicnl condition
possible and ready to step Into the opening game with no
excuse to offer In that department.
Ilickey nlso has something new (or him in the length
f the rehearsals. Last year down In Ilrownsville, the
men were up everj morning at 0:S0, prnctieed from
0:30 to 11 :30. rested and ate lunch until 'JlilO, practiced
In the afternoon until 4:40 and ufter that could do any
thing they pleased. Most of them were so tired that they
irere in bed about 8 p. m
This )ear, they work once a day, from 1 :40 p. ra.
antil B They do not get up nntll 8 a. m. and can stay
out late, meaning 11 :.'I0 p. in This is a much better
ystem, according to the plavors, and better results have
keen obtained.
They like the town of Ornngc, whi-h has an ideal
climate and the Chamber of Commerce und the citizens
of the place arc doing nil In their power to mnko their
visit a pleasant one. The Cards probably will be ba'k
here next car,
niCKEY had the proper dope when ha casually
il mentioned that everything depended upon his
pitchers this tea ton. He is standing pat on last
year's team, tcith Fournier and Janvrin on first,
Jorntbf, second; I,avan, short, and Stork, at soon
as he signs, on third. The outfield will consist of
Afcllenry, Ileatheote, Lesmann and Jack Smith and
perhaps a kid named Mueller, if he comes through.
Lete McCarthy, Pickles Dillhoeffer and Vernon
Clemont icill do the catching, as the crop of rookies
doesn't look very good.
Kircher Has Improved
FOR pitchers, Rickey has Doak, Haines, Schupp, May,
Hherdel, Goodwin and North, of last year's team, und
Dixie Walker, purchased from New Orleans last fall.
Walker once was with the Cubs, but didn't linger very
long. Last jenr he made a great record and much Is
expected of him this year. Kircher also is looked upon as
a comer. This big left-hander wan given a try-out last
ear, but was shipped to Richmond for further scohonlng.
He baa Improved.
In addition, there are Royer, from Ranger, Tex. ;
nrown, a semi-pro, of Pittsburgh; Dodson, of Fort
Smith; Rill I'ertlca, of Los Angeles, and Walter Hhute,
who was with Richmond last year, Arthur Revlere comes
here with a big reputation. He Is a right-baiider and
known as the "strike-out king" of Texas. He pitched
fouT no bit games, yielded one hit in four others nnd turned
In six two-hit battles last jour. Judging from this,
Arthur should be good, but jou never can tell.
Of the new Inficlders, there is one who will make good
und thrcatena to be a star. His name Is George Topcrcer,
of Newark, N. J., and he wears glasses. He plays sec
ond base like u veteran, hits well and is very fast. Rickey
says he Is the best looking youngster he has seen in years.
Topcrcer belongs to the Syracuse Club, but it wouldn't be
at all surprising to see him In the Card line-up.
Homer Knell, of iockhart, Tex., Is another likely
looking infielder. He played semi -pro baseball last season
and has a chance to remain. Karl Adams, of the Danville,
Vs., club, la the smallest man on the club. He is shorter
than "nuster" Caton, and Is known as the "Half Pint."
Last jear he hit .321, but it is doubtful If he can stay in
the big show. His slxe Is against him. He plajs short
stop. .
The St. Louts Club has more youngsters in the squad
than usual, and much money has been spent for talent.
Rickey Is scouring the country for pitchers and hopes to
land a flock of them before the season ends.

HAS a great offentix'c ball club. Last year it
led the league in hitting, teas second in scoring
runt and absolutely last in fielding. The Cards also
od the greatest number of men left on base, with a
total of 111S. The team made 2.16 errors, which
was twcnty.four more than the Phillies.
Beaten Before Starting
IT WAS a great looking ball club with Homsb hitting
.870; Smith, .331 ; Stock, .310; Fournier, .300, and
La van, .280. More games should have been won and the
club looked more like a first-division aggregation than one
which tied the Cubs for fifth place
"The reason was the pitching.' Miid Rickey, "the
players did not have confidence In the moundsmen, and if
I started certain ones, the game whs lost before it started.
Rill Doak had a great year, Schupp won sixteen and lost
nine, but the others couldn't be depended upon. Haines
lost three to two games In a row, nnd thru threw him off
his stride, and before he recovered, he lost eight more.
"Jake May should be a great pitcher, for ho has lots
of stuff and knows how to use It. However, he hasn't won
more than a couple of games in two years. Just the same
I will keep htm, for I believe he will come through some
time and be one of the best In the league.
"Rut you can see how 1 tieed some strong, husky star
to carry the staff along. One man will do it, and Judas
Priest, how I would like to find that man."
ntOHT now the Cards can be called an "if" ball
eJuft, Dixie Waller comes through, if Hill
Doak doesn't get lumbago, if Haines overcomes his
erratic work, if Ooodwin't rib doesn't slide out of
place and if the club improtet in its fielding, the
chancer are that St. Louis Wll be in the select divi
sion, fighting for a share of the world series dough
next fall. That means from third place up.

O'DONNELL IS CONFIDENT
pOHRB CREEK, the city's lone
municipal links, makes a good pulse
to register the boom golf Ib taking
among those who have never joined a
country club.
That thero is a distinct yearning in
the masses to take up the game and a
need for public courses In every section
of the citv was shown over the week
end. More than 37S golfers teed off at
Cobbs Creek on Saturday and 3(10 had
teed off by 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
This is only March. It's further
more a good three months before
"you've got" to start playing regu
larly. The question Ib, if nearly 150 player
flock to Cobbs Creek In two successive
days, now, what will It be like in
June? What would the greens com
mittee of one of our regularly estab
lished country clubs do If 750 players
reported on its course for two days' play
in March 20 say? You couldn't print It.
Those In charge at Cobbs Creek are
wonder workers for efficiency. It's a
job to get the work done in all that
continuous drive on the course, but they
manage to get the repairs done. The
starting Is handled calmly and philo
sophically. Ten Hours . M
Three hundred and sixty players a
day make ninety foursomes which, at
five-minute intervals. It takes seven
hours and a half to start. Thnt gives
the last quartet two hours nnd a half
to finish out a perfect ten-hour golf
day. What' could be sweeter?
Well, one hundred and fifty players,
say, on tour public courses, for one
thing, would be a whole lot sweeter.
