Cards Padgett, Switching

BY the Associated Press.

6y the ASSoclateo Press.
WINTER HAVEN, Fla, Feb. 49,
Don Padgett Of the st. Louis Card
inals, in the process Of being con-
verted from an outhelder into q
catcher, believes the experiment will
work.
I'm only learning and I've never
caught before" he declared, but this
much is certain-I won't be content
with being an ordinary catcher. I'll
either be good one or I still can play
outfield."
Padgett Is working out at the Cards
baseball school under the tutoring of
Joe Sugdon, st. Louis catcher OF is
years ago. Club officials said he al
ready has exceeded their expectations
in adapting himself to the receivers
role.
Vice President Branch Hickey and
Manager Frankie Frisch hit upon the
idea Of trying out Padgett behind the
plate in an effort to develop more
batting punch in the catching depart
ment.
Cards Third Best Hitter.
Hitting 1923 last year, Padgett was
led only by Joe Medwick and Johnny
Mize on the Red Bird roster.
The husky player said he felt he
would "be ready to share the CATCH
ing Job with Mickey Owen when the
season opens"
Padgett. who throws from the
right side but bots left-handed, Is
from Bostic, N. g. He entered organ
ized baseball In 1885 with Columbus
Of the American Association. He was
farmed to Houston of the Texas
League that year and was recalled in
1896. He joined the. Cards at the
start Of the 1897 season.
II the Card management has sized
up its man correctly, Padgett,s ROOM
mate at the school will succeed him In
right field next summer.
He is Enos Slaughter. 2l, who led
the American Association in hitting
with q 1882 mark last year.

MT. RAINIER FIVE
STEPPING ON GAS
Unbeaten in County in Two
Years, Looks for Upset
Win in Metro Play.
By BURTON HAWKINS.

Culled from q student body Of ap-
proximately 500, Mount Rainier High
Schools basket ball team over the
last two years has compiled a unique
record. The Mounts, In walloping
Laurel High, 46-ls, yesterday. retained
their undefeated status over that
period in Prince Georges County
competition.
Scheduled to play the crack Be-
da-Chevy Chase quint In The
Star tourney, slated for Tech High
gym March 3, 1 and 5, Mount Rainier
has developed rapidly under Coach
Perry Wilkinson. After losing five
games In December, the Mounts sud-
denly clicked and have lost only two
games since, while winning nine.
Blessed only with one returning
member of the 1887 outfit that reg
istered ~ consecutive victories, wiki
inson nevertheless has nodded a
dangerous club. The youthful team
lost to Washington-Lee High, Con-
zaga, Briarley Military Academy and
Montgomery-Blair in the last three
minutes Of action.
Wilkinson's Job Is Tough.
Wilkinson's job presents more Of
problem than that confronted by local
scholastic coaches. Mount Rainier
has no physical education department.
Wilkinson has no weeding-out prob
lem simply because it doesn't exist
in a school the size Of Mount Rainier.
His chief worry is locating boys.
Never In f1ve years under Wilkin-
son has Mount Rainier refused to
jeopardize a clean record. That it
has held its own in any company is
reflected in the fact that last year
the Mounts reached the semi final
stage Of The Stars tourney before
bowing to Western, the eventual
champion
Naturally, Mount Rainier will enter
its game with Bethesda Chevy Chase,
conqueror Of the polished st. Johns
five. An underdog, but it relishes the
role, for the Mounts are primed for
an upset.
That they are ready was evidenced
in their rout Of Laurel Frank Land
