Two Spring Drives.

There are two detached springs this
season, as conditions now stand, al
though they may later on merge into
one.
The first is the eagerness with which
so many thousands are waiting for the
spring drive in this country when the
ball clubs get back home and the box
score starts to tell it's story.
The second Is the spring drive that
Europe is waiting for, where the box
score will tell a different story.
Stories for many training camps tell
of the spring drive for which SO many
millions of Americans wait.
The spring drive in Europe is fitting
ly expressed by this verse from the late
Allan Sccgcr:
Il have rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricadc.
When spring comes round with rus
| ting shade

When Spring brings back blue days

10y r. T. Roeene.)

The St Louis Cardinals finished in
seventh place in 1916 and it is gen.
orally admitted that there is little pos
sibility of the team climbing into the
first division in 1917, unless some new
and able material is secured Though
new owners have taken over the Car
dinals. it is assured that Miller Hug
gins. who has managed the team for
five years will be back at the helm,
and perhaps with the able assistance
of Branch Hickey, newly appointed
business manager and general over
seer of the club, he viii be able to
bring the team up notch or two. The
Cards haven't been in the pennant
chase since the days when Roger
Bresnahan first took charge of the
team, back in 1910.
Miller higgins succeeded Bresnahan,
but has not made a grand success, and
it is probable that unless the Cards
get away well. another leader will be
found in charge of the team before the
end of the 1917 season. Miller started
life as a second sacker in the Amer
lean association years ago, later going
TO Cincinnati in the National league.
He came to st. Louis about six years
ago. and played second base until
1915, when he retired to the bench.
The Catching Staff.
The Cards catchers are Miguel Con-
tales, Frank Snyder, Pat Livingston
and Roche. Snyder was rated as the
best receiver in the league in 1915, but
slumped badly last summer, besides
engaging in several rows with Hug
gins. Gonzales may be sent to first
base this year, as the Cards need a
first sacker badly. He is one Of the
many Cubans who are rapidly making
good in professional ball. Roche would
have been a major Lacquer four years
ago, if his arm had not held him back.
He batted .299 with Portland in the
Pacific Coast league in 1916. Paddy
Livingston is an old timer who will be
used to coach and warm up the pitch

Chicago, March 23.-Sharp advances

largely, from reports of severe crop
damage in Nebraska and Kansas. The
market closed strong, 1B to Az cents

Country orders were more than an
offset for the bearish influence Of rains
that had fallen over part of the winter

day May delivery was within cents of

Corn as we'll as wheat showed I'M
