~ RADENTON, Fla, April b
x Manager Gabby Street waxed
enthusiastic over his Cardinal
infleld today and predicted 1t
would go far in bringing another Ma
tional League pennant to st. Louis.
While the same players compose the
infield as a year ago, Ga'bby reasoned
Charley Colbert, still a youngster,
would show continued improvement
and Sunny Jim" Bottomley, handi-
capped last year by an injured hand,
should do much better.
Frankie Frisch still is the Fordham
flash and "Sparky" Adams at third
shows no signs Of weakening.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2 GP).-No
recruit in the Pittsburgh Pirate squad
this Spring has attracted more atten-
ton than Forrest Jensen, the feet
young outfielder from Seattle, Wash.
His hitting and speed on the base paths
have been particularly brilliant.
Everybody in the party today was
talking about what happened after his
triple against the Chicago Cubs yes
terday. He was waiting at third when
Lloyd Waner hit short one to Cuyler.
Jensen knows all about Cuyler's throw
ing arm, but he made dash for the
plate at the catch and beat Kiki's
beautiful heave by an inch.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, April 2 up.
The Braves moundSmen stood about
as follows on the eve Of breaking camp
for the trek North:
Seibold has already proved his worth,
Sherdel Is the same old canny south
paw, Ed Brandt Is pretty close to in
vincible when he can locate the plate
and Bill McCafee, the youngster Man
ager Bill McKechnie enthuseS so much
over, shows signs Of being . first
stringer.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April (R.-
Owen T. Carroll, the one-tine boy
wonder, this season is getting what
probably amounts to his final chance in
the majors. He jumped from Holy
Cross to Detroit in 1925. He has
pitched some good base ball, but gen.
orally appeared too high-strung to win
consistently and was sent back to the
minors.
He Is striving for q pitching berth
with the Cincinnati Reds and has
turned IN some good pitching thus far.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2 R).-The
Phillies, with two of their most i'm
portant regulars among the absentees,
come back to the home lot today after
five weeks in the South. Manager
Shotten said he had no word of any
change in the status of Chuck Klein,
outflelder. and Phil Collins, his best
pitcher, hold-outs.
LOS ANGELES, April 2 (PD.-The
Chicago Cubs, who were expected by
their overSeer, Rogers Hornsby, to
sweep through their exhibition series,
now are faced with the problem Of
getting above the 500 mark.
Yesterdays fop to the Pirates left
them with q record Of IL victories and
IL defeats, most Of the latter due to
shortcomings Of the younger pitchers.

Browns Labeled
Best Young Club
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

ATLANTA, April 2 (CPA) The
st. Louis Browns have the best look
ing club Of young ball players in the
major leagues. How they may play
for championship Is another story.
But take them for their age and ex-
perience and they are q ninble lot
Of hustlers.
It has been the common practice
this Spring to place them seventh
in the finish Of the race for 1891.
The only club that has been fore
cast as lower is that Of Boston.
Many reasons have been advanced as
to why st. Louis should be low and
none as to why they should be high.
There Is enough in the makeup
of these young men to fool some
folks this year. If their pitchers
ever get off on the right foot, which
Sam Gray says will happen, the
club is likely to get some place.

to the grunt-and-growl game, White
Feather cavorted in the boxing ring.
Some years ago the chief, known
as Tom Marvin, was right handy
with his fists, but it so happened
that a raSsler appeared in the same
town in which White Feather was
boxing. The rassler said he didn't
like the chief and could lick him.
So the chief and the rassler tangled,
one using the gloves and the other
the mat holds" The rassler won
and White Feather from then on
became a raSsler.
In Rudy Dusek, White Feather will
be opposing highly rated grappler.
He also was a boxer and ranks sec

AMERICAN LEAGUE
STILL HOLDS LEAD
Tigers Wins Keep Circuit
Ahead of National Loop
in Exhibitions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, April 2.-Just when
it looked like the National
League might pull abreast Of
the American circuit in their
annual joust for the Springtime cham
pionship, up popped Manager Bucky
Harris Detroit Tigers during the past
week to turn back the men of Heydler.
After having remained on the side
line most of the Spring, the Tigers
jumped into the inter-league warfare
with both feet and captured three out
of four from the Pittsburgh Pirates. As
q result, the American League was able
to increase its advantage to three full
games. The score today stood: Ameri-
can, Il; National, 10.
Giants Help Old League.
Outside of the Tigers winning spree,
the two leagues fought ON even terms
for the week-what time they were not
being rained out. The Giants licked
the White Sox two out of three as they
started their tour out Of Texas. but the
Yankees squared it up for the American
League Dy taxing Jnelr only start from
the Phils. Cincinnati split with the
Athletics in the only other Tits between
the rival leagues.
Having selected their opposition pretty
carefully, the Boston Red Sox continued
to lead the field in percentage of total
victories, with eight In nine starts.
They have not yet faced q major OPP
ponent. The Brooklyn Bobins, who have
been pitting their big bats against all

jack, ten, therefore the club lead is either a singleton or q doubleton. If it is doubleton why has partner opened it in preference to his long suit? He might be holding the ace of hearts and the king of diamonds four times not wanting to open either one, and therefore the double ton was selected.
 If East carelessly plays the six spot, the declarer also will rest the same way and allow West to hold the trick with his jack. There is nothing that West can now do to defeat the declarer's contract as two losing hearts can be stuffed on the long clubs in dummy and the de- clarer need lose only one club, one heart and one diamond.
 The real play for East to make is to cover his partners jack with the queen. This will force the de- clarer's ace and East will still have clubs stopped with the ten spot. If the declarer allows the queen to hold. the queen of hearts will be led by East, which will stop game. If the declarer wins the trick with the ace of clubs, the latter will be forced to lose one club and three hearts, which will defeat his con- tract.

The Bidding.


 At auction South, the dealer would buy the contract for one spade, while at contract South opens, the bidding with one spade. North goes to two spades, showing normal support in trump, at least one and one-half tricks. and requests partner to keep the bidding open. This gives partner a chance to show another suit or to get into three no trump before the contract gets too high. South takes the declara- tion to three spades, showing a five card spade suit and just about a minimum origina;i bid. North car- ries the declaration to four spades, which closes the contracting.
 Tho Play.
 Vests hand is rather difficult to open against a suit declaration. Trumps are bad lead as it would be leading into the declarer's strength. He hates to surrender his ace of hearts so early in the game. Leading away from the king of diamonds with the bidding as it was might lead into the ace, queen, so finally the doubleton club is se- lected by West for an opening and the jack is led. Dummy plays the deuce.
 Before playing to this trick, East should endeavor to read his part ner's hand. Holding the ten of clubs, he knows partner has not led from the jack, ten, nine or the ace,
