Great For Cards
Former American Leaguers
Get Started with St. Louis
In National.
By BILLY Evans


Funny how a change Of scenery
often gives some ball player a new

Every now and then some player
Is waived out Of the National League

In new surroundings. amid diff

7 cd out OF the National League per-
forms In a most creditabIe manner
In the junior organization.
In Hike manner. players regarded
as OF no use as American Leaguers
often go over to the National and
prove very valuable TO their new
clubs
While most of the critics feel that
the New York Giants viii continue

League still the st. Louis Cardinals
must be considered very dangerous.
The Cardinals have a very strong
IOnense. and II the club gets consis-
tent pitching IS certain to hang on
to the very end.
On the Cardinals are three play
ers who are performing valiantly
doing their bit IN keeping Rickey's
club up in the race. These three
players were permitted 70 drift out
Of the American League.
I have reference to catcher Eddie
Ainsnfth and First sackers Jack

Good catchers are always eagerly
sought. For years Ainsmith was
valuable member OF the Washington
club. He won much fame as the
battery partner Of Walter Johnson

best.

to play great ball for the Tigers He
made such a fine impression that ne

great success at Detroit Then
rather Unexpectedly came the news
that Ainsmith had Aeen given his
unconditional release. made free
agent because of his many years Oh
service.
Many thought Ainsmith must De
through. Next he hobs up with the
ST. Louis Cardinals, shows great
form. wins the first string job, and
mas been holding it ever since. Next
TO Rogers Hornsby he has been the
Cardinals leading slugger.
Great Combination.
lack Fournier is a whale against
right-handers, while Del Gamer
dotes on southpaws. This combin-
alton has proved a most acceptable
one around first base. In addition
Gamer plays a good outheld and is
a most dangerous pinch hitter
In the American League this year
George Cutshaw. cut loose by the
Nationals as through, has helped
make the Detroit Tigers. His pres

infeld.
1t has ever been thus in baseball

|"RUCkUS" WITH BUTLER
is A SHINING AFFAIR
ON EARLHAM'S CARD

THE Big Game of the Season." Will
be the title of the drama staged jointly
by the Earlham and Butler basketball
teams Wednesday night at the Coli
scum, according to Coach Ray q.
Move, director of the local aggrega-
tion If there is one game of the year
that the Quaker team and Coach Move
want to win, il is the contest with
Pat Pages Butler Bulldogs.
Move has the tickets for the battle
on sale now and is expecting the larg-
est crowd of the year to be on hand
when the two teams meet Wednes
day night. There will be no curtain
raiser and the Earlham-Butler game
will start at 7:45 promptly.
Although the Butterflies already
have one victory over the Mowemen to
their credit, the locals are hoping to
turn the table, when they meet the
Pagemen on the Coliseum floor. The
Indianapolis quintet has had one OF
the most successful years in the hiss
tory of the college, its winning column
having entries of nearly all the Inli-
ana teams as we'll as outside univer-
stiles, including Wisconsin nd Yale
Leslie and Hooker are the chief
point getters on the Blue and White
quintet and are rated as among the
best in the game. Their sensational
shots from all over the floor have
proved sufficiently frequent to carr
their team out of close games a.

The Quaker team will only have
| three days in which to recover from
| the recent road trip. 1t is not likely
that Captain Goar will be on the line
up that meets the Butler team, Il
though he may go into the game for a
| part of the time.
This will be the next to the last
game of the season for the Quakers,

WORN out QUAkERS
) LOSE TO FRANKLIN

Worn out by the hard battle with
the Dents the night before, the Quaker
basketball team lost 2S-17 to Franklin
at Franklin, Saturday night. The
Quakers held their old rivals to a close
score during the first period, the
score at the end of the half being
14-11
The goal shooting of Richeson, the
Franklin forward, was one of the
features of the evening, and he played
a big part in the Quakers' defeat The
teams fought on even terms for the
first few minutes of play, but the
field baskets of Richeson put the
Franklinites in the lead. Both Earl
ham and Franklin were weak on de-
tense.
In the second half the Quakers were
slow in getting started but toward the
end of the period Coach Move made
several substitutions which improved
the play of the five. Hinshaw was
high point man for the Quakers with
a field goal and six foul markers. Re
cords of the Franklin team, did net
participate in the contest.

Dan Rost, local high school forward,
is one of the most consistent players
of the basketball game which has
ever worn the uniform of the Red and
White.
He made his first entrance into
high school basketball last year and
proved to be big factor in the teams
success in the district tourney.
Rost played a style of basketball
which is clean, fast and a real credit
to his team. No matter what he is up
against, he usually gathers from four
to five field goals in each game in
which he plays.
This is his last year on the high
school team. If he goes on to college,
he will be valuable man to the
school which gets him. He is a real
sportsman and plays the game for all
there is in it, and then some.
