N the short space of four
years a piece of major league
i property has grown from
bankrupt organization to
value of million dollars. 1t has
paid off all debts-debts from
carpenters, plumbers, players
and banks-and today not only
boasts of large surplus, but is
nose to nose with the most pow
erful, machine in the National
League-John ]. McGraw and
the New York Giants-in a siz-
cling pennant race.
What group of great 6nanciers
has made this masterful stroke?
Surely no one but Henry Ford,
a John D. Rockefeller, a J. Pier
pont Morgan or men of that
standing could rescue such a
sinking ship! However. Branch
Hickey, who once played ball for
SIS month, who has flock of
college degrees and whome an
cient base ball experts insisted
could never succeed because he
possessed too many eccentric
ideas and refused to manage on
a Sunday, is the miracle man"
in the success of the St. Louis
Cardinals. y
The ups and downs of Branch
Hickey are paralleled by no other
man in base ball. A career COW
ering fifteen years. from 1908 to
the spring of 1917. is ignored,
because he really did not startle
the base bali world until he re-
signed as business manager of
the St. Louis Browns and ac-
cepted the presidency of the
Cardinals.
The first bolt was fired when
he made this jump, P. De c. Ball,
owner of the Browns, went to
court to prevent Hickey from ac-
cepting the National League
proposition, but who wouldn't
accept even legal challenge
when the increase is from $1,000
a season to $4,000 annually, with
an ironc1ad three-year contract
offered?
Hickey accepted and won. He
won when the owner of the
Browns announced that "it was
good riddance to bad rubbish"
In Tangle With Husgins.
Tangle No. 2 arrived when
Miller ]. Huggins, managing the
Cardinals through the stormy
Federal League days and prom
ised the opportunity of purchas-
ing the Cardinals from the Brit
ton interests and becoming
magnate himself, if they ever
elected to sell out. Huggins,
working on salary around
$500, considered that he had
been snubbed. Hickey was
drawing $4,000 from the pur-
chasers of the club from the
Brittons.
At the expiration of his con-
tract, closing the 1917 season,
Higgins reversed the Hickey
hurdle by skipping from the Ma
tional League to the American.
Hickey then was alone. With
his own hands he started to re-,
build. He hired Jack Hendriek

VIRGINIA FOUR TO TRY
FOR WORLD MILE MARK

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, August
12.-Four quarter-milers OF the Uni
versity Of Virginia relay team are
in training this summer for the pur-
pose of lowering the world record
for the mile when they get back
on the cinder path during the next
college session. In tho Penn relays
last spring this team made the dis
tance in 3.22, only four seconds slower
than the record now held by Penn
sylvani4, and later in practice on
Lambeth held they clipned another

Of establishing q new world record.
This summer the quartet are scattered
on farms where they are keeping IN
condit ton.
Talbot and Campbell were new at
track last season and had been in train
ing only q few weeks when they ap-
peared in the Penn relays. Talbot
made the Quarter-mile in 81 seconds
and Campbell in 81. To the two men
who have. had considerable experience
was due the major part Of the credit
for the showing made by the four. Boz

as the manager for 1918. But
1918 was the lean year all around
in base ball. The new stock
holders were pressed to meet the
notes; stock purchasers refused
to be tapped for further assess
ments, and one by one they al
lowed their blocks to be wiped
out. They took their loss and
considered that they had made a
profit.
The 1919 season opened and
the Cardinals were in debt; deep
in debt. The directors held a
private meeting. Their decision
was that they could not afford
to pay the salary of a manager
and $4,000 a year to a president.
The club would be managerless
unless-unless Hickey would ac-
cept the chair. He did.
Would Not Manage on Sunday.
Thus Branch Hickey arrives
as the manager of the Cardinals.

Other Players Opposed Hornsby.

Jealousy, known in the ranks
of professionals, also found its
way into the ranks of the Car
dinals. For there were players
two years ago. not on the club
today, who advised Hickey to
part with Hornsby; to sell him
or to trade him. To them he was
not considered the headliner
which the public and press ac-
claimed him to be.
Hickey knew otherwise. But
for two years he had the task of
retaining Hornsby and retaining
harmony on his club.
And today Hornsby, as mighty
as he is, accepts the fash from
the bench from Hickey to hit
this or that ball, to steal or to
wait, with the same judgment as
a new recruit.
In back of it all, however,
Hickey developed the Cardinals
into a pennant combination be-
cause he eventually won the conf
plete cooperation of his players.
although he is not with the CLUB
on, the Sabbath, not once has a
single player complained that he
is entitled to a Sunday vacation
because the boss is not with them.
