Is there any real value TO be
gained by the exhibition games the
major league clubs are now play
Ing through the south?
From a financial standpoint a
great many Of these games VIZ
prove profitable. From a Playing
standpoint they are Of uncertain
value.
At the various training camps
most Of the clubs have fairly good
fields to work on. Usually the
club owner sends Ills groundkeep-
er south in advance to properly
manicure the diamond.
In most cases the playing field
OF many Of the minor league parks
do not compare with the training
camp diamond. Often the exhibit
ton games are played on a skin
ned infield rather the grass dia-
mond to which. the major league
players are accustomed.
Not so many years ago the clubs
stayed south until about week
or 10 days prior to the o7c.tng OF
the season and then started to
work their way northward. AS a
rule the exhibition games were
played in the larger minor league
cities. boasting parks that were III
fine shape around the first Of
April.
OF late years it has been custo-
mary for the clubs to leave their
training base sometimes a month
in advance Of the opening Of the
season.
The game has made rapid
strides in the south and big
crowds always greet the major
League exhibitions, The owners,
feeling the fans should get what
they want, arrange these games.
Financially the games are
worth while, artlstically 1t is ques-
tionable.
That number Of major league
managers have definite ideas on
the exhibition games through the
south Is proved by the methods
some Of them are adopting.
Last year the Brooklyn Dodgers
and the New York Yankees played
q series before the. opening OF the
season. The great rivalry that
existed between the two clubs
mado the players fight every inch
of the way.
The public got run for Its
money IN these exhibitions, as It
should, but the reaction was detri-
imental'to the Brooklyn club.
u Pitcher Leon Galore OF Brook
Ign was in great form during the
spring. He was used frequently
-agatnst the Yankees and worked
his hardest Galore pulled up
with a lame arm as result and
he was handicapped throughout
the season by bis. exhibition

CARDINALS HOPE

Much Better at
Training Camp

Out of a crop OF almost fifty
athletes starting this 1sE2 train
ing season for the st. Louis Car
dinals Manager Branch Hickey
will have but twenty-eight when
the National League pennant race
starts.
Which proves that all who as

They are added to the twenty
three who received the bonus for
finishing third last October.
The new players are Del Gamer,
first baseman and outtielder;
Shortstop Earl Adams. Herbert
Steen, pitcher and outfielder; Cat
cher Benninghoven and Pitcher
Clyde Barfoot.
But with club showing the
strength the Cardinals possessed
last summer there was not much
room for u rookie. Here anil
there Hickey attempted to strenG-
then his forces. He dealt mostly
around the hill, considered the
weakest spoke In the wheel, and
he was only able to come up with

Barfoot, who was the best pitcher
in the Texas league last season.
Barfoot, a right handler, will

Rinehart is a mystery. Here is

Barroot Is added to Bill OooS

Jesse Halnes, Arthur Riviera, 1isl

problem: Where Is there one who
will pocket 90 victories? II he is
found then Hickey sees n chance
for the pennant.

Bit Doak, although leading th4
National league pitchers IN 1921,
has been aillng all spring with a
sore arm, and break IN Bill's
splitter would be u calamity in tic
ranks Of the Cardinals.
Two who made their debut last
spring may solve the entire affair.
They are PertIca and Walker, both
right handlers. Tile experience OF
last season may turn them into
hill stars.
The only real new, strength
found with the Cardials is in the
morale Of the club, which counts
Considerable:
All OF the players participated
In the training course where last
year Stock and Smith did not Join
the club until tho opening OF the
regular season:
1t lis this winning spirit which
lsiexpectedi ito become a prominent
factor in the Cardinals.
And II must not be forgotten
that they lost fifteen OF their Hrst
twenty games III 1891 and then
came down the stretch with such
q rush that they gave the Giants
q scare for the pennant and al
most ninped the pittsburgh Pr
