Except for pitchers, the Cards have
no veteran reserves for 1896 at any
position. And youngsters possibly may
be in two. or even three, front line
spots when the season opens.
This is the first time such a con-
dition has existed on the Cardinal
team since 1t stepped into base balls
front ranks a decade ago. It may set
a precedent for any major league club.
Few Veterans on Roll.
I EAvING out pitchers, here are the
the veterans:
Collins first base; Frisch, second:
Durocher. shortstop; Colbert, third;
Medwick, left field; T. Moore, center;
Pepper Martin, right; Virgil Davis,
catcher. Catcher Bill De Lancey, now
in the hospital, is not considered be-
cause Of his illness.
Pitchers are Dizzy and Paul Dean,
Haines, Hallahan, Walker, Heusser
and Parmalee.
Rookie Johnny Mize, with only
few months experience in the majors,
has chance of being the Cards
regular first baseman. If Mize whoops
it up during training season, the
Cardinals might think seriously of
taking the Giants offer for Jim
Collins.
Frisch Is Uncertain.
MANAGER frankie Frisch hopes
A'- to play more often this season
than last, when he was in only SO
games. But Frisch will be 38 years old
in September and may pass out as
regular If youngster shows enough
promise at second base.
With De Lancey ill, the Cards are
less likely to trade Catcher Virgil
Davis than they were last Fall, but
there'e still possibility.
If he should go, there would be four
