CARDS DEPEND ON
 INJURED PLAYERS
All Championship Team to Re port to Training Camp

St. Louis, Jan. 6.-tR-Cardinal pennant prospects depend largely on the ability of players who were in- jured or suffered a slump last sea- son to return to the form which took them to a worlds champion ship in 1926.
 With the exception of Rogers Hornsby, traded to the Giants. and Billy southworth. sent to manage Syracuse, virtually all the cham- pionship team will report to train ing camp this spring.
 The only trade this winter was one which sent Pitcher Jimmy Ring and Catcher Johnny Schulte to the Phils in return for shortstop Jimmy Cooney. Outfielder John Moran and Catcher Clarence Jonnard.
 Manager Bill Mckechnie will have ! trustworthy pitching staff headed by Grover Cleveland Alexander, hero Of the 1926 series, Jesse Haines and Willie Sherdel. He also will have Fred Farmhouse, who won six games in seven starts last fall. Flint Rhem. Arthur Reinhart. Tony kauf- man. Carlisle Littlejohn and Her man Bell. Rhem hopes to regain the stride which made him one of the regular starters two seasons ago.
 Bob O'Farreli. relieved of his managership worries and rapidly re- covering from his thumb injury. will go behind the bat regularly. He was given the leagues most valuable player" award year before last. He will be assisted by Frank Gibson. a veteran purchased from the Braves. and Virgil Davis, youngster draft ed from Buffalo. Jonnard has been shipped to Houston.
 1nfield prospects were frightened greatly with the news that Tommy Thevenow. whose ankle was frac- tured last June. Is now fully recov- cred and will return to the shortstop position at which he starred in the 1926 pennant drive.
 Besides Cooney. Heine Soluble. Walter Maranville and Gearge Topocer are also available for short stop.
 With Jummy -Bottomley at first and the fast Frankie Frisch as lfornsby's successor at second, third base Is the only infield position much in doubt. It belongs to Lester Bell if he can snap out of his last season E slump.
 The regular outfleld probably will be composed Of Ray Blades, Chick Hafey and Taylor Douthit. if they return to their old form. Last season Blades was out because of an injury and Hafey because of eye trouble Douhit suffered a slump from his championship form.
