CARDINALS MAY MAKE CHANGE
Not very many changes for 1906 In the
makeup of the Cardinals are under con-
sideration.
OF course. it is generally understood that
un.css Homer Smoot braces up he will be
replaced by another player. The once great
Smoot seems to have lost nearly all his
ambition. He was not the player last
year that he was IN 1890. and II he docs
not take a brace in his work in 1906 he
will surely be superseded by a spryer
player.
