SPORT SlAN1S

A" year ago, when Charlie Gel bert reported at Bradenton for the training sessions, Cardinal players and doctors alike shook their heads as the one- time brilliant shortstop limped around the practice lot. The concenJus was that Charlie was in camp merely as a sympa- thetic gesture on the part of the Cardinal management, which ap- preciated the fine work he had done in the Red Bird uniform before he was incapacitated
 But the opening of the 1885 sea- son found Gelbert still with the Car dinals. As the campaign wore cn his leg gained strength and he found himself inserted into the line up more and more frequently un- til, by the time the curtain was rung down on the season, he had taken part in 61 games and boasted a bat ting average of .296.
 Rebusidsng Program
 He regained a greater part of his one-time form by working day in and day out, winter and summer, to build new tissues to replace those which had been torn away in the fall of 1892 when, on a hunting ex- petition, load of gunshot ripped the muscle off his left leg just above the ankle.
 For year he coached a college baseball team, took long hikes in the company of his wife and did everything possible to regain full use of his leg despite the discourag- ng reports from his physicians. No one gave him any hope of complete recovery, but he had faith and kept plugging away.
 Just how complete his comeback was last season is best indicated by the trade the Cardinals made with the Giants Frankie Frisch never would have let Burgess Whitehead go had he not been convinced that Gelbert's comeback was complete. Whitehead had proved an able sub stitute infielder and necessary one since the Cards manager is feeling the wear and tear of Is years of campaigning in the big leagues.
 Hot Corner Erpert
 Last season Gelbert filled in at short and at third base He looked very good around the hot corner where he was not required to cover so much territory. In fact, his work was so good that Frisch was promp- ted to move Pepper Martin to the outfield and use Gelbert steadily in the infield.
 When the regular season closed Gelbert continued playing with a band of transformers for six weeks. He was going so good he hated to quit. All winter he has religiously practiced series of special exer- cises designed to strengthen his leg and keep him fit so that could re- port to F'rlsch at Bradenton in con- dition to play the brand of ball he showed in 1892 before he was in- jured. He is only 30 years old, and with his leg apparently as strong as ever, he should have four or five years of big-time baseball left in him.
 
 The Cardinals have another come back in camp this spring-Terry Moore, who is stepping around with out any signs of the limp that re- suited from the broken leg he suf- fered last summer just when he was rapidly forging to the front as the outstanding rookie find of the 1885 season
