Many New Faces Will Appear
In Cardinal Lineups Next Year

st. Louis. December 17.-Many new faces
ager Higgins takes his squad to st. Aus
gustine to get into shape for the long
season of 1914 When Hug starts prelimi-
nary work for the campaign, which he
hopes will bring the club out of eighth
place, there will be only II athletes in the
squad who were here all last season.
Many of the ball tossers though. who
will take the trip have been seen here
before, but were not regulars with the club
last year. Five of them, Wilson, Miller,
Butler, Dolan and Robinson, starred here
in 1918 with the Pirates, but in 1914 they
will try to show st. Louis fans just how
good they are.
Then there are several others, who
battled here for the good of the cause in
the late days of the last campaign, while
a few are entire newcomers, who will
make their first appearance as members
of the local (National league) organiza-
ton.
With the trio of infieders secured from
put through at the National league meet
ing in New York last week. Boss Huggins
has nine infielders. which total includes
himself. Only two of these were regulars
here last week. They We're Huggins him
self and Arnold Hauser, who played in
very few games. Then Callahan and Beck
also were here for while last year.
New Players Should Help
There Is some hope for the Cardinals
though. since the trade with the Pirates
was put through Miller can first sack;
Dolan Is a fair third baseman, who has a
good deal of speed while Butler can be
used at either short or second base. This
will help Huggins lot in building up his
club next year.
One of the uncertainties OF the team Is
Arnold Hauser. Army injured his knee
during the spring training at Columbus,
Ca last year and was unable to get into
many contests. If Hauser comes around,
he will be the regular shortstopper, but If
he fails then either Artie Butler or
George Whtted will take care of the po-
stion. Dressan, first sacker, and Nash.
shortstop, are the other two infelders who
will try for regular Jobs.
The little leader for the local National
aguers, though, may find himself up
AGAINST ii for catchers unless the four kids
secured last fall turn out to be wonders.
Ivy Wingo is the only regular from last

sorrel-topped receiver did not do any too
well. Maybe he will do better in 1914
Six Outfielders Enrolled
Pat O'Connor, the receiver secured from
Kansas City In the American association,
may help out. This will be his second
chance in the majors. Then there is Sny-
der the catcher, who was here late last
fall, who has good chance OF sticking.
Roche and Glenn, two other newcomers,
may prove whirlwinds, and, if this is the
case, Hug should be well supplied behind
the bat
With the addition of Chief Wilson. Hug
will have five outfielders, WHO have ex-
perience, while there will be only one
newcomer to try for a position. He is
Miller, who halls from the Evansville club.
He may prove to be great player, and
then again he may not, but even though
he fails, the smallest leader in the IVA
tionai league will be well fortified.
