 T want men on my team who will take chances" snapped Frisch.
 "But he would have been thrown out" retorted Wilson.
 That's all right" shot back Frisch. Make 'em throw us out. That's the kind of baseball l want"
 Ethan Allen coached at third base when the St. Louis club took its next turn at bat.
 The incident epitomizes Frisch's baseball policy.
 The Cardinals who won National League pennants in 1880 and 1881 and the world series of thIe latter year dropped to the sixth Slot in 1882 and had shown little or no improvement when Frisch was named manager on July "A, 1893. Eriscli Whips Easy.Going Red Birds Into Line
 There was huge awakening immediately. Where Bob O'Far- rell, Bill McKechnie, Billy South worth, and Gabby Street were easy-g0ing, Frisch ruled with the iron hand of a John McGraw.
 The restless urge to excel that spurred the Fordham Flash as a second baseman in the ranks made him tough, sarcastic, and intoler- ant of failure as 8 foreman. De- feats brought blasts of vituperative oratory. Always Q champion moaner, F'risch found taking re- verses harder than ever.
 Like Mcqraw, under whom he broke in, Frisch believes that fines are the backbone of discipline, and he doesn't hesitate to slap them on his old teammates for lapses on and off the field. The Bronx product is no respecter of persons, and will not permit penalties to be forgiven under any considera- ton. His methods quickly won him the appellation of McGraw Jr.
 Shortly after. F'risch assumed command, a player missed the train at Columbus, where the Cardinals had played an exhibi- tion contest, but caught one in time to be on hand the following @ 1t err o on. Frisch promptly slapped an assessment on the ath- lete. Reminded that a train was held 20 minutes for him while Street was boss, Frisch replied that he should have been docked $100.
 There were arguments with the Deans and other flare-ups here ,1A fhora hut TrtooL v,oadA t,tp men respect him. There is nothing two-faced about the St. Louis strategist. He isn't afraid to stand alone, stays in the middle of the road, and his judgment on the field is sound.
 Cardinals Battle for
 Club and Every Game
 When Joe Medwick and Tex Carleton came to blows last sum- mer, Frisch was asked what he in- tended to do about 1t.
 Nothing" said the manager. "A good healthy fight now and then is good for the morale of a ball club. Why, when we won the pannant in 1930, there was a row in the clubhouse every time we lost a game"
 Frisch insists that the Cardinals be in bed by midnight, unless per- mission is obtained to remain up later. They can get up any time they choose, so long as they get to the park by noon when the club Is home and in time to take bat ting practice when the outfit is on the road. They can eat what they can digest and drink within req son.
 'I'm not going to try to regu- late their personal habits," ex- plained F'risch. All I demand is that they stay in shape to play ball. If they don't still will not try to mold their personal habits. I'll set rid of them."
 Terry Moore hit ball down the left field foul line, and score of heads popped out of the Cardinal dugout.
 That's the surest sign of winning club" asserted Frisch, after the battle. "The Cardinals are interested in their work, and the club comes first.
 "The Cardinals are winning ball players. Some of them may not hit as well or be such capable felders as certain other players, but they fight for every game and for their club. I have never seen a base hit hound who was of much use to his team.
 "There are winning pitchersand there are pitchers who look even better and have more natural stuff. but who are not winning pitchers. The difference is in the attitude, in the mind of the pitcher.
 "Batting averages don't show everything, nor fielding averages. nor pitching averages. But mana gers, in general. know the winning ball players, and 50 do the own
