Lady. He was talking about how he
had worked for years and years, and
now he was rich and happy. He was
telling how he had his fine country
home and his city home and his cars
and all the rest of the things that
wealth brings, and how happy he was
and what good world this is"
He had a right to feel that way
when everything was so easy for him,

slump has obtained a toehold
on the Cardinals with the result
that the Robinson Field Cadets are ap-
pearing as weaklings in a department
where they previously had hobnoboed
with the league leaders The team IS
not hitting man with one eye could
see that in the series with the Giants.
In the five games played with the
New Workers. nine runs were made.
This failure to make runs is especial
" discours ging to Higgins and his
team Just when the pitching stair
which has been held responsible for the
defeats earlier in the season, appears
to be rounding to form. Sallee, Har-
mon, Griner and DOak have come
through with good games, recently, but
in most Of the matinees the regular de-
feat has been marked up because OF
the failure of the team to make runs
Any kind Of timely batting would
have netted a better result than II
break in the series with the Giants.
That Al Demaree and Art FrOmme, who
do not compare with MarQuard, Matty
and Tesreau of the Giants squad,
should get away with such easy vic
tories, indicates that the Cardinals are
weakening at run getting.
