Will Play with Cards.

st. Louis, Mo, Jan. 20.-All doubt
relative to Rogers Hornsbys plans
was removed today when the king
bee batter of the National League
announced that he would not only
play with the St. Louis Cardinals
in 1924 but would also train with
the club. Two months ago Hornsby
said he intended to play but would
not report for spring training.
Hornsby added that he wanted to
known, however, that he was play
ing with the Carnidals because of
his three year holdover contract and
not because his differences with the
Cardinals have been settled. He says
the breach between President Bread
on and Manager Hickey. of the Car
dinals, and himself is just as wide
as 1t was when he was suspended
and fined last September.
Despite this difference Hornsby
says he will strive to the utmost to
play the game to the best of his abil-
ity. II owe this to the fans, my fell
lowplayers and my contract" he ex-
planned.

real uphill battle with Portland

were never able to forge ahead. In
the last half. Portland exhibited a
better passing game than their OPP
ponents. and really outplayed the
