Good Club But No Telling
How It'll Do, Says Blades

"Well, are we going to win that
pennant?" asked him courteously.
"What?" said Blades, startled,
what about our outfield?"
What outfield?" said Blades. who
did not seem to realize that I had
taken over.
Come, come, quit wool-gathering
Blades" I told him. How in
Tophet am going to find out about
this club If I don't know about the
outfield?"
We'll" said the manager thought
1ully, there's Medwick in the left
field spot, of course. Then there's
Terry Moore, and Pepper Martin,
who ought to give us plenty of base
ball this year, and Slaughter, and
this XII Elvin Adams, who seems to
have plenty of speed, though I don't
know how his hitting will stand
up. We should be able to string
together a pretty good outfield.
In the 1nf1eld, the only man sure
OF his position right now is Johnny
Mize, but Gutteridge should 20
good at third with steady work,
and like the way Jimmy Brown is
hustling for that shortstop job. This
boy Joe Orengo, from Sacramento,
has shown me plenty of fielding, too.
Pitchers, well, we have the
nucleus of fine staff in Warneke,
Weiland, Davis and MCGEE. MCGEE
should develop into a great pitcher.
Shoun should help in spots, and
maybe that arm of Paul Deans will
come back. I'm keeping my fingers
crossed. One or two of the rockies,
Cooper, Sunkel and Raffensberger,
ought to make 1t.
"Yes, it's not a bad club, but
there's no telling how it will go.
''Now," said Manager Blades, please
excuse me. I have to get busy"
Blades got away before I could
tell him that the Cardinals, with
Lardner backing. were in. He
probably would have been glad to
hear 1t, but there's no telling, with
Q fellow as absent-minded as Blades.

elbow, and other upheavals OF
nature.
known at one time and another

this spring as Lardner's Foley, a
name proudly borne in other years
by the Pittsburgh Pirates, Fred
Apostoli, Reaping Reward, Red
Rain, Jacola, the Harvard football
team and Ellsworth Vines.
How can the Cardinals miss?
They have youth on their side, and
age, lots of age, and Sam Breadon,
and most of St. Louis, and youth,
and some ballplayers. Custer had
less than that when he swarmed up
San Juan Hill. San Juan Hill didn't

~. Let's have night baseball but
the heck with lighting system. It
costs too much.
"8. What do you know in the fifth

The secret of running ball club
Is to keep your assistants on the
move. hickey. for instance, no
sooner had got my memorandum
than he moved from Florida to CAL
ifornia to inspect material, leaving
the field clear to Manager Blades,
President Breadon and myself. The
result Is that the Cardinals are
whipping along in great shape, and
should be fit and fighting team
when they reach the post.
Anxious to know what Manager
Blades thought of our chances, I
summoned him to my Office behind

pear, went around to the Detroit
