UtUyOI tSugLS CiuUSJs
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, March
27.-Beaten off in the National
League pennant fight during the
last two seasons, the st. Louis
gaS-house gang will be in the 1887
campaign with another challenge
to the champion New York Giants,
the Chicago Cubs, and the rest,
and is about due to come through
this time.
Critical observers agree that the
Cardinals may win the champion
ship and are positive Cinches to
no worse than third in a close and
very tough race. To all of this,
frankie Frisch, burdened with the
task of managing the gang,
and ever the ultra-conSerVatiVe,
answered today:
you'll see the same old spirit
Of the gas-hOuse gang in a
154-game fight-and our real
strength is in the pitching staff"
SEVERAL PROBLEMS
While that was saying virtually
nothing, FrischS reticence in the
face of enthusiasm expressed by
others, can be traced to the fact
that at the moment he is per-
picked by several major problems.
Whether or not Stuart Martin
has regained his health and will
be able to hold down second base
all year remains to be answered.
and the answer will be important.
Also, Frisch still is wondering
whether Don Gutteridge can play
third base in the big leagues;
Mickey owen can catch big league
pitching and Terry Moore can lift
his 1854 batting average of 1886
tc some figure nearer-and prefer
ably above-.300.
The catching staff may yet lead
to Frisch's biggest difficulties be-
cause it includes cnly one member
with big league experience. He
is Brusie OgrodoVski, and he's not
too hot at that. 1t may be that
Owen will come through and fill
the gap left by the sale of Virgil
Davis to the Reds.
Spark and Fire
He is a two-fiSted 19-year-old
with plenty of spark and fire. but
lacking in experience and reveal
ing no signs of hitting greatness.
The third member of the backstop-
ping corps is Paul CherVinko, like
owen, product of the Columbus
club.
AS for the intield, Johnny Mize
falls sole heir to first base through
the trade of Jimmy Collins to the
Cubs, and Dick Seibert will be un-
derstudy. Frisch insists he will
hold down second base for month
or so into the regular season, then
turn the job over to Martin, if the
latter has recovered from recent
illness. Leo Durocher will be back
at shortstop and Gutteridge at
third.
Joe Medwick will be in left

are Jim Winford, 81 Johnson, Paul

as Ray Harrell and Bob Weiland
from Rochester, Nate Andrews
from Sacramento, Mike Ryba, the
one-man team, and Bill MCGEE

CITADEL NEXT ON

South Carolina Team Comes
To Raleigh For Game
Saturday Afternoon

College Station, Raleigh, Nov. 2
Topping North Cardinals grid slate
this week is the State-Citadel game
in States Riddick Stadium SATURDAY.
afternoon.
The kickoff has been set for 2:3O
and the second largest crowd to see
a game in the stadium this fall is
looked for.
The setting is right for a colorful
game. Both clubs are much stronger
than last year. Citadel lost a heart
breaker to South Carolina on last Sat
urday while State was defeating fav-
ored Boston College eleven.
The Citadel Bulldogs will come
here Saturday hitting perfectly on all
II cylinders as a result of that loss
and States Wolves, anxious to contin-
ue their winning ways, hope to be at
their best. Freakish breaks of the
game enabled South Carolina to win
over Citadel as the Bulldogs complete
ly outrushed the Gamecocks.
Citadel has the best team it has
had in II years. It is noted especial
ly for its fine forwards who, accord
ing to Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite o.
Richmond University, are more pow
erful on offense than the Duke of Du-
quesne University. Richmond has
played both teams. 1t lost to Citadel,
200, and to DeQuesne, 24.0.i

Raleigh. Nov q Announcement
that the federal Rural liberalization
Administration has approved a $1O,-
600 loan for a small project in Macon
county has occasioned moro than
little surprise here.
Two factors contributed to the feel
ing of amazement first the smallness
Of the approved loan and second the
fact that it was made to a private, in
dividual, owner of small utility con-
rarn.
Previous announcements by the
Federal REA have been uniformly to
the effect that governmental agencies
and cooperatives were preferred GUS
toners Of REA projects and that only
in exceptional instances would loans
re approved for private companies.
1t has also been frequently stated
by Federal REA. officials that the
administration does not care to con-
slider or approve loans of less than
100000.
The Macon county project, for
which the $4,000 loan has been ap-
proved, marks the first instance in
which a project in the far western Sec
ton Of the State has been initiated:
State eREA officials have been de-
cidedly: and frankly worried by the
slow progress of rural electrification
in the section and are frankly pleased
to see something started.

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 6 G.NS).
The current epidemic of flu has
struck the Hollywood film colony
a harder blow than any other
similar wave of sickness since
California became the home Of
moviedom.
TWo-score or more Of the popu-
lar players have been forced to
take to their beds with the malady,
and this has caused much costly
delay of current screen produc'
tions. 1t is a conservative estimate
that the pesky flu germs have cost
Hollywood producers several hun
dred thousands of dollars.

picture was in it's early phases,
and the production schedule was

ailing star had recovered.
Enrol Flynn, the Stalwart star,
was stricken while working in 'The
Prince and the Pauper," but, be-
cause of the magnitude Of this
spectacle of England several cen
turies ago, it was a simple matter
to revise the schedule so that
scenes employing the 12-year-old
Mauch twins, Billy and Bobby
were substituted.
If the Mauch twins had come
down with flu, however, it would
have entailed very heavy expense
for the Warner Studio, and, &C.
cordingly, elaborate precautions
were taken to guard the talented
pair of youngsters against it. A
nurse was detailed to the set where
the pair did scenes, with nearly
