ST. LOUIS, Feb. 26.-What the
St. Louis Cardinals are able to do
behind the bat this year may be
i the deciding factor in their quest
of the National League pennant.
Manager frankie Frisch is faced
with a number of difficult PROB
ems. including pitching and fill,
ing the important shortstop and
third base positions, but the catch
ing looms as the Cardinals major
question mark.
At this writing. the Cardinals
have three men listed as catchers
Mickey Owen, Ray Bremen and
Mike Ryba, the latter also is listed
as a pitcher. None of these, IN
the opinion of close students OF
baseball, can be ranked as great
catchers, however.
Since the Cardinals have not
been able to swing a deal for an
experienced and steady receiver,
Vice President Branch Hickey is
going to try to make catcher out
of an infielder in the hope Of plug
ging the backstopping hole.
ANOTHER PROBLEM
The subject of the experiment
lis Don Padgett, regular right
fielder, who batted better than
800 last year-his first season in
the majors. Padgett is a big,
strong fellow, with a powerful
throwing arm. He might be con-
verted into a catcher, but whether
he can use his head" as all good
receivers must-that is to try to
outsmart the batter-remains to
be seen.
Pitching is the second problem.
A big question mark is the &C.
centric Dizzy Dean. Deans serv-
ices were almost a total loss to
the Cardinals in the late stages
last season. 1t started when he
suffered a fractured nig toe as
the result of being hit by a line
drive in the Au-Star game. Later,
he developed a sore arm.
If Dizzy is unable to regain
winning form, the bulwark of the
pitching duties will fall on Lonn1e
Warneke and Bob Weiland. The
Cardinals have crop of rockies,
from which they hope to pluck
at least one winner. These include
Bill MCGEE, who led the American
Association last year in earned
run averages; Max Macon. a
southpaw who led the association
in games won with 81, and How
ard Krist, who Joined the Cardl-
nails last September and won sew
eral games from major league
opponents
INFIELD GAP
The trading of Leo Durocher to
Brooklyn left a big gap at short.
stop. Don Gutteridge. who played
the position several times last sea-
son, is counted upon to succeed
Durocher. Gutteridge is a better
batter than Durocher, but whether
he can field as steadily as Leo
admittedly one of the best field
ing shortstops in the game-iS
doubtful.
Joe Strip, obtained from Brook
lyn, is expected to solve the third
base problem. The Cardinals have
been notably weak at the hot
corner" for some time.
The outfield is not expected to
cause serious concern. Joe Med
wick, leading hitter of the Ma
tional League, will be in left
field; Terry Moore in center, and
Enos Slaughter, who led the Amer
ican Association in batting in
1887 is expected to patrol right
field if Padgett is a success at
catching.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Oct. l8.-
Democratic party prospects in the
pivotal States Of New York and Illi-
nois and the Federal budget engaged
the attention Of President Roosevelt
today.
Gov. Henry Horner Of Illinois was
due here for forenoon conference,
while Gov. Herbert H. Lehman OF
New York, seeking reelection for a
fourth term, was listed for luncheon
parley at the summer White House.
Late in the day Mr.. Roosevelt ar
ranged to see Secretary Morgenthau
to go over preliminary budget esti-
mates, due for another jump next year
in view of the administration ex-
tensive plan for rearmament.
The President has announced that
he will be unable to forecast the new
budget requirements until restudy
OF national defense needs, in the light
Of recent developments, Is completed.
Meeting Was Transferred.
Gov. Horner had planned to see
the President in Washington. but
when the latter came here Sunday, the
appointment was transferred. Gov
Horner is not up for reelection this
year. The PRINCIPAL State-Vide race

G. o. P. Strong in Primaries.
The votes in the primary elections
last May greatly encouraged the Re-
publicans. A total Of los SOS votes were
cast in the Republican primary, and
only 73,433 in the Democratic. That
is difference in favor Of the Re-
publicans of more than 10000. The
Democrats counter by saying that
many registered Republicans will vote
for the Democratic ticket next month.
About 10 days ago the Democratic
candidates came forward with An in
dorsement of H. r. 4,l99," officially
called the general welfare bill" 1t
is the Townsend old-age pension bill,
which has been pigeonholed for years
in the Democratic Congress. The
Democrats did not mention the fact
that this was the Townsend bill-al-
though they understood we'll that the
Townsendites would recognize the
measure even if the rest of the voters
did not. They were angling for the
old-age pension planners voters
1t happens, however, that the
Townsend headquarters in Chicago
and the South Dakota Townsend Or
ganizer have both Endorsed the Re-
publican candidates. Further, Tom
Berry, while Governor. wrote column
for the newspapers and on one occa-
sion he described the Townsend old
age pensioners as "teetering back"
from a convention in Chicago It
raised a howl from the Townsendites
at the time. The Republicans re-

Labor = Small Factor.
Organized labor is largely back OF
the Democratic New Deal candidates,
but organized labor does not cut as
large a figure in South Dakota as in
a great r.any other States, and not
all the labor vote will 60 for the Demo-
cratic ticket.
The Republicans, in their platform.
are on record as favoring a cost of
production plan for the farmers Just
how it is to be put into effect and
financed is still left largely to the
imagination. however.
Considerable significance is attached
to the action of the South Dakota
Farmers Union, which in convention
at Winner last week went on record
as sharply criticizing the Wallace farm
program. The union is regarded as
the strongest farm organization in the
State. The convention offered two
hours time to Forshein, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor, and to
Loriks, the congressional nominee In
this district, to defend the Wallace
program. But neither showed up.
Both in the past have been ohcials
OF the union.

The Lehman meeting was arranged
by the President by telephone from

to canvass the entire New York situa-
ton. preparatory to Gov. Lehman's
launching OF an upstate campaign
Thursday against his Republican op-
ponent, Thomas E. Dewey.
Some of Mr.. Dewey's associates on
the Republican ticket carried their

yesterday, speaking at rally from
