ganizati ton is to have a monster auto
mobile parade next Saturday. Chief
Booster Hoover and Newmeyer are
to make the occasion q memorable

have already been pledged and the
enthusiasm with which the idea has

street and Pennsylvania avenue one
hour and a half before the start of
Saturdays game with the Athletics.
The cars will form on Sixth street,
and the route will be down Pennsyl-
vania avenue to Peace Monument. and
teenth street, out Fourteenth street to
T street, to Seventh street. to the ball
park. Each car will carry booster PEN

Booster Hoover. giving the seating ca
pacity of his car. The booster auto

st. Louis presents an odd problem.
The team has individual strength
enough for the foundation of a pen

cred by almost every one as doomed to
finish among the tail enders.
On paper my figures show the club
to rate sixth, and under favorable cir
cumstances, to stand a chance of 60
ing higher. On internal conditions
the club must be figured in a class
with Brooklyn and Boston and it will
be lucky to keep out of eighth place.
The conditions are peculiarly dis
tressing. The owner, ignorant of
baseball, and further badly advised.

he is gone from it will not end that

capable catchers, refused Clarke's ad-

Clarke not many years ago was one
of the best catchers in the league,

the American League in batting.
Clarke was then with Cleveland.
Like Stone, Clarke slipped rapidly.

Look Yer the team. Wingo is
one of the coming catchers of the
country, a hustler, a capable man, and
a dangerous hitter in a pinch. Ko-
netchy mechanically is the ranking
first baseman Of the country. He
hasn't the winning, hustling DISPOSE
ton. Besides, he is tangled in the
saloon business in st. Louis, and is
followed by a trail of undesirable ad-
mirers. ben on informing him how
good he is, but failing to make it as
strong as his w opinion. He is not
amenable to discipline, and rather
hard to handle. because of his excel
lent opinion of himself.
Higgins, the manager, is a very
capable ball player. a fast and rather
snowy runne on the bases. n he
! might make a fair manager, never a
winner. His appointment, it Is de-
clared, was favoritism and friendship
and B~resnahan's friends on the team,
Of course, resent his assumption of
the job, whether or not he sought 1t.
There is a lot of ugly gossip on that
point.
Arnold Hauser Is, I think, the best
sAAoi hotoP III ibit tic olld a.,
a hustling, aggressive little fellow who
deserves to be on a better hall club.
Mike MoWrey is a fair third baseman.
The outfield probably will be the same
as last year, Lee Magee, Evans, and
either Ellis or Cakes, although at this
writing a can is reported to be preparing
for n or W. of the veterans.
OF the new men, Stansbury from
Louisville promises pretty we'll. This
fellow has been an unfinished but
promising man. and quite a hitter. He
may develop into a big league player.
I get glowing reports on Whitfield from
Jacksonville. The Sally league boys
say this one has come to stay, and
they predict he'll get the third base
job. He certainly played a lot of
baseball for Jacksonville, hit .314, stole
about ~thirty-six bases, and fielded
like a wild man. Any one who can
keep up that gait in Jacksonville's
summer climate ought to be able to
stand even the st. Louis summer.
1t looks like a cheap bunch OF re-
cruits and as if the team will have
either to trade or t. fall back on
what it had. Steele, properly handled.
might make a good man, and so might
Geyer, but as a whole, the Cards look
dismantled and in bad shape for the

certainty that the manager will not be
in complete control hurts. There is
not a chance that the players will take
their work seriously under present
conditions.
tudied from a purely mechanical
standpoint the Cards have one of the
best young catchers in the country, a
good, reliable right handed pitcher. a
brilliant but erratic left handler, and
some fair but uncertain others. They
have the ranking first baseman of the
league, but one who is spoiled by a bad
disposition and bad associates. They
have a corking good second baseman,
they have the best shortstop in the
league, who unfortunately Is crippled
just now. Third base is fairly well
filled, n the outfield is a sort of joke.
On careful figuring on the present
alignment I have figured the team
sixth in batting and seventh in field
ingin the circuit, although they showed
a position or so higher in both depart
ments last year They figure seventh.
in pitching, in spite of Harmon and
Sallee, who with other clubs probably
would be stars. 1t does not look as
if they have found any new material
likely to strengthen the club and the
reports from the club this spring are
bearish.

Sweeney will do the bulk of the
backstopping. This big fellow is a
whole lot better catcher than he. has

things commenced to go wrong with

a good year for him.. He has not

criticism of him-any one who could
have played good ball in the last two
years with that club Would have been
working for himself and not for the
team. Williams, the second catcher,
is a pretty fair mar who has been
knocking in and out for ten years and
never has been a star nor will be.
The vital point of the team is
pitching. Now if Frank Chance
knows anything it is how to work
pitchers properly. I have talked with
him a hundred times, and know just
what he desires. He wants four
pitchers in condition to work in rota-
ton. They need not be stars. He
wants one star who is a willing
worker. Ford is the star, but he new
er has been a willing worker. He will
be this seasOn-or he won't be a star
I think Chance will use Ford just as
he did Brown with Chicago, and from
h private reports I received a few
days g from Bermuda, Ford is just
as anxious to work as Chance is to
nave him work. Chance never plays
a favorite.
Quinn is fair, and ought to be bet
ter; Mcconnell has the possibilities
of a great pitcher, and Caldwell ought
to be good. The reports from Ber-
muda are that Jack WARRIOR is the
comeback of the spring. | always
discount New York spring reports
about 60 per cent, because. most OF
the reporters are shillibers-but this
is not for the papers, but personal.
Besides that, they are touting two
youngsters strong.
Put this down in the. book: NO one
a win pennants with ynun PLAYERS,
especially pitchers, and only in rare
cases can any one bring back a dead
team. There is more chance, however,
players, if they will work, than with
youngsters willing to work their
heads off.
Conditions in New York favor the
comeback of the veterans. The COM
ing of Chance is in the nature Of q
revolution, and every one. is starting
anew. Chance has to make good to
square accounts with the National
league. The American league wants
him to max good. He starts under
very promising conditions, and I think
he has it in him. / inquired of one
man with the team carefully as to the
feeling of the men toward Chance.
From his reports the. players are with
HIM to a man-Which NEAR much
more than any showing on paper can
mean regarding the improvement OF
the club.

New York's American league hopes,
long dead. ave arisen with a bound
this spring, while st. Louis Nationals,
just as hope was reviving and seem
ing to find a foundation, are dashed
again.
The. Highlanders and the Cardinals
afford a strange contrast in baseball.

and last year they touched bottom.
Then, as they were sinking for the
last time. Frank Farrell, by a master
stroke, secured Frank Chance and
half New York Is cheering.
Two years ago the Cardinals seemed
to be, developing into a championship
team and now bad management and
a clash of the owners has wrecked the
team and made it an almost seventh
