The St. Louis Cardinals
Won 65. Lost 50. I'm 1874.
FINISHED SIXTH.

Our team is in the making. 1t is
| too early TO predict where club Will
| finish when half of the positions are
still untitled" Branch Hickey, man
ager of the St. Louis Cardinals, is
! quoted as saying. Il have so much
! good material to look over that the
final lineup of the 1925 Cardinals may
not be announced until the day before
| the opening game in April"
From the constant changing and
shifting of infleld and outf1eld combi-
| nations il would seem that Hickey
| means what he says. Rogers Horns
| by, second baseman, and Jim Bottom
| leyAfirst baseman, really are the only
regulars CT last seasons team who
| appear TO be at all sure of their jobs.
You can't leave Hornsby out any
more than Ruth could be left off the
Yankees, and Bottomley is the best
| first baseman the team has had in
| years.
But for the left side of the infield
| Hickey is working hard for strength
| ening material. Jimmy Cooney, short
| stop, and Howard Friegau, third base
| man, may be there again. but if they
| do ii will be only after bitter fight.
Lester Bell, who failed to make the
grade in 1924, is back. After his fliv
Yer in a Cardinal uniform he went to
Milwaukee and led the American AS
sociation in hitting and felded CLAW
erly. He will try to push out Cooney.
specs" Toporcer is looked on as a
contender for third base. He took
Friegau's place when the latter was
hurt last year and showed WELL He
is veteran and 800 hitter.
If Bell and Toporcer earn infeld
jobs Hickey will be able to put eight
men in his lineup who can hit 800
or more. Hornsby and Bottomley al
ways go over that mark, while an out
field made up Of Ray Blades, Chick
Hafey and Ralph SINNERS would
show all men above the charmed fig
ure. It's not at all certain that Hafey
and SINNERS will beat out Jack Smith
and Max Flack. but they are making
a great impression.
One of Rickeys catchcrs can hit
more than .300-good old Mike Con
zales, the Cuban, the busiest catcher
in the National League last year,
when he worked in 121 games. The
others will be Walter Schmidt, once
with the Pirates, and Ernie Wick.
However the fielding array of the
Cards finally is settled. the club will
have plenty of hitting power. There
| is plenty of pep. 1t is UP to the pitch
ing staff to improve on the record of
last years team.
Hickey is taking a chance on Wal
ter Mails, the famous "Duster' who
pitched the Cleveland Indians to a
pennant in 1920. This left-hander
does well on the coast. He has been
in the National League before with
the Brooklyn Robins. He was only
kid then. This time Hickey believes
he may be of great assistance. His
southpaw partners are Bill Sherdel
and Elmer Dyer. Jess Haines IS the
right hand ace and will have the as
sistance of Leo Dickerman, once with
the Robins, and Johnny Stuart The
1925 crop of young pitchers hasn't de-
veloped any stars, though it's early

Nurmi has succeeded, yet those who
have followed track performances
fail to grant him a higher position
than that attained by his country

Nurmi has run two races In
night to victories-at mile and at
5, 600 meters Kolehmainen ran seven
miles in two races in a single meet.
Paavo has broken four records In
a single race. Kolehmainen smashed
every standard American mark be-
tween three and one-half and ten
miles In a single race at Columbia
University on November ], 1919.

being rated at about 4.22. against the
record now held jointly by Nurmi
and Joie Ray at Az. and In three
mile run was timed at the first mile
stone in 4.33.
Nurmi has escaped the trials that
followed Kolehmainen.
An application from the Finn for
membership in the Irish American A.
c. started an amateur war, and after
a year in this country, having ap-
parently done nothing TO earn his
way. the Amateur Athletic Union
summoned him.
The investigation fell fat. Hannes
had his troubles with amateurism.
Hannes kolehmainen was the star
of his time, Nurmi of a modern era.

YOUNG JOE WRIGHT
WOULD FOLLOW DAD

PHILADELPHIA, March 24--Joe
Wright, jr.. plans to follow in the
footsteps of his father, Pennsylvania's
famous rowing coach, many of whose
greatest triumphs are recorded in the
annals Of the Argonaut Rowing Club
of Toronto. Young Wright will come
TO this city April Z and take up
sculling.
The veteran oarsman will supervise
the development of his son with the
ultimate object of lifting the Diamond
Sculls in the Royal English Henley
regatta, a feat which the elder
Wright vainly tried to accomplish in
1893. Wright managed to win a heat,
but was defeated in the finals. He
did, however, lift the Bradford cup,
one OF the English sculling classics.
Joe Wright jr,, stroked the winning
junior, intermediate and senior eight

the task of defending the champion
ship won in 1924
One Veteran Pitcher.
Four pitchers are rounding into
form and all should see considerable
service during the coming season.
Dezendorf is the only regular, but
will have an able assistant in Don
Huse, a 6-footer. Capt. Bob Williams,
who played in the center garden last
: season. also is getting a try-out IN
the box and is expected to become q
useful member of the hurting corps.
Duffy, a left-handed rookie, Is the
other slabman, who has attracted the
notice of the coach. while Parmele.
Smith, Phipps. Griffith and Brady are
being retained on the squad and
should make the grade next season,
If not sometime this Spring.
Earl Moser, star guard of the bas-
ket ball FIVE, has a strangle hold on
the backstopping position. However,
Engle is on the job also and viii get
into the catchers regalia at odd times
during the schedule.
Jim Hance is expected to start at
first base tomorrow; Wilmer, Colley
and Hale being slated for the second,
short and third base positions, re-
spectively. Coiley is the only new
conner OF the lot, and has shown
sufficient ability in the past 10 days
to clinch the place. Duke is another
first sacker with a knack for the job.
while Benner and Groves are working
hard for Hales place at the hot cor
ner.
OutfcId Candidates.
Belt Byng and Williams have been
picked for the outfield positions, and
should have little difficulty in becom-
ing fixtures in the gardens. Blacki
stone, Lombard, Haddock and Trodden
will be called on to serve in utility
roles.
Little is known of the batting abil
ity of the members of the Central
nine. To date no slugger has appear
ed on the scene to take the place of
the hard-hitting Mike Gordon, whose
timely cIouts aided greatly in the
winning of the championship last
year. Hance, the big first sacker, is
showing about the best form at pres
ent, and Coach Kelley is giving him
plenty of instruction in the use of the
