tain Eddie Collins shortly after noon and began Knocking the ball to all corners of the lot as well as out side the park.
 Max Bishop, the leadoff man and star second baseman. pounded the first offering of the young battling drill pitcher, Krause, up against the porch of a house in goth street, fac. ling the right field wall. Al sim- mons, a home run hero yesterday, propelled the ball with considerable vehemence into the left field stands, where some 5000 bleacher custom CTS were already on hand, hours be- fore game time.
 Doubt as to Mack's pitching se- lection was dissipated when Earn shaw took part in the batting prac- tice and manifested every symptom of being about to take on the enemy. George Walberg, big left handler, also engaged in the workout, but then shagged flies in the outfield as an indication that he was not a likely starter.
 Hoover Box Still Draped Although President Hoover had gone on his way to Ohio after wit messing the opening game. the presi- dential box remained draped in its special bunting.
 The Cardinals came out with plenty of pepper for practice, dis playing no signs of being down. hearted over their first setback.
 We figure to get a better share of the breaks and win today" said l Manager Gabby Street. "rhat will send us to St. Louis on even terms. with the advantage of playing the next three games on our home grounds"
 Before he went back to the bench, Simmons poled line drive into the left field stands that hit and bruised a spectator who failed to dodge quickly enough. It was terrific wallop that sailed into the crowd without much arching. i Chick Hafey. the bespectacled Cardinal outfelder, got the range of the fences when the National leaguers in their gay red and gray uniforms took batting turns. Watkins in Right Field With Earnshaw slated to oppose them, the Cardinals planned to start George Watkins. a hard left handed slugger, in right field in- stead of Ray Blades. This was the only prospective shift in either hne- up.
 | The crowd, with topcoats and furs still necessity as somewhat chilly blasts swirled through the Stands, came in slowly to the accompani- ment of brisk tunes from the out field loudspeakers. Babe Ruth at- tackled the simplifying horns with line drives on two occasions during the past season but they survived this, apparently none the worse for wear.
 Manager Street took no chances on his rival switching from Earn tshaw to Walberg and had a left handler doing duty for a good share of the batting drill. It looked like good insurance anyway, for the Cards are certain to see plenty of additional southpaw firing before the series is over.
 Grove said he was ready to go right back in himself, if Mack need. ed him for any relief duty later in the afternoon but 1t seemed Robert Moses was entitled to a day off.
