Management to Continue.
THE plan calls for the continuance

Before agreeing to any such proposal,
the bondholders are entitled to ask how
many members of the Moore family are
to be carried on the pay roll of the
Mayflower under the guise of manage
ment personnel; how many individuals
who co-operated in getting up the bond
circular of 1928 are to be paid before
the bondholders get any interest and
how much has the present management
personnel by It's activities in the past
and by its cooperation in putting out
this amazing reorganization plan juSti-

way as being sincere and directly in

holders; can the bondholders sleep
soundly in the face of the suspicion that
they are being ground between two mill
stones-an upper one of management
overhead and q lower one of self in

The letter, which was signed by Mrs.
Willebrandt and the chairman and

past record does not justify any bond
holder in implicitly relying on any
statement now being made by or on be-
half Of the principal stockholders Of

Orsatti will be the first string out field reserve, Watkins and Blades dividing the work in right according to the type of opposing pitching. Andy High, Ed Delker and Jim Col- Hns will be the infield understudies with Gus Mancuso and Mike Con- zales completing the catching staff.
 Bottomley's Bat
 The first base situation Is regard ed as especially important to the Cards chances and Street expects the position to provide added bat ting power for the club. Bottomley. whose batting average slumped to 1903 last year, and Jimmy Collins. q rookie who hit .376 in the Inter- national league, are fighting for the berth. Bottomley has been hitting in old-time form during training camp and Is expected to retain his post.
 Colbert. capable young shortstop, has acquired new confidence follow ing his sensational world series play and is expected to develop into one of the leagues best shortstops. With Frisch at second and Adams on third the Cards boast an extremely capable infield. Delker, hard hit ter, is making strong bid for the third base job and may eventually oust Adams.
 The Cards may not make 1t two flags in a row, but they are certain to be an important factor in the 1881 campaign.
