of Sequoia Park, recently came to
Washington from his Western post
as an acting associate director OF
the Park Service. Mr.. White is at
present on leave. Another rumor
has it that Conrad L. Wirth, head
of the branch of recreation, land
planning and State cooperation
of the Park Service, may be named
superintendent in Mr.. Finnan's
place.
Mr.. Finnan was brought to Wash

Only last year San Antonio. prize St. Louis farm sent along Johnny Berardino, a sec end basaman who immediately play ed a full season of major league baseball.
 Now it jumps up with another young Italian sensation, John Lu- cadello. a smashing lefthand hitter who led the league in total hits with 132. finished with 8 cool 300 batting average and did well afield. His bat tie to replace Berardino should be one of the dogfights of the majors next year.

 Manager Zach Taylor, once ma jor league catching star and a man well varsed in the tricks of receiv- CTS, calls Bob Swift of San Antonio the best catcher in minor league baseball Furthermore, Taylor adds Swift has the best throwing arm in baseball, major or minor leagues. The genial kid isn't a lusty hitter, but he is a picture behind the plate. He finished the season hitting around .27O and could be the Brow nie's regular catcher come 1940. Houston's Hal Epps, a great ball shagger and hitter who dived to a .2S7 batting average, has been re- called by the St. Louis Cardinals. He is major league ballplayer, afield, and could go at the plate. First baseman Johnny Hopp could not be expected to dislodge Johnny Mize of the Cards, but he hit .5l2 and was the most improved played in the league The Cards will get good pitchers in Lefthander Harry Breechen. who won 19 and lost '; Murray Dickson, a 22 and 5-piteher; Ernie White, 15 and T, and Red Barrett, 13 and '.
