The Cardinal manager is playing his

Huegins VIII Quit.
The acquisition of Sheckard means
lot and the upshOt Of Jimmy's coming
into the Cardinal fold undoubtedly will
be the retirement of Huggins This
prediction may be denied, but Hug is
wise enough not to weaken his club
by playing himself, if he finds that by
JudiciOus switches he can add to the
teams batting strength. With Magee
on second, moreover, the Cardinal in
field would be a little better off now
that seasoned performer like O'Leary
IS on the job to steady down the inner
defence Magee will make double plays
Lnat Hug can no longer attempt Then
Sheckard can fill the gap in left very
acceptably and incidentally replace

der And here again we find an i'm
provement, as Sheckard is a stronger
hitter than Higgins He will drive in
more runs. although he may make few
er hits Hug drove in only five runs
last season. He can't hit a long fly
and this often costs the club a run in
tight places. However. Sheckard can.
Therefore viewing the situation from
the angle that Magee has a better arm
than Hug and Sheckard can hit a
longer ball. there is no real reason why
the club can't be strengthened by the
switch Of Magee to second and ShecS-
ard to left This Encouragement is on
the books, as sure as shooting.

1E LOUIS, April 19.-The distribu-

~ exciting thing in the camp Of

Honey received this insignificant
sum for playing one game. Since his
