ter with ham at bat. Now I think
I've got it.
The secret" whispered Mr.. Har-
ris, "is comparatively simple. Early
eventually is going to have to de-
velop into the kind of hitter that
Cecil Travis is now. He's got to
wait until the last split-second be-
fore he swings. That means that
he'll never hit a long ball but he'll
slap 'em to all fields. If he does that
it will be good enough
Ferren Swap May Develop.
1t may be that Early will open the
championship season behind the bat
for the Mats but it is cinch that
he will be Washington's starting
backstop when the early exhibition
games begin in the middle of March.
Jake is almost ready to 60 now. He
will have tremendous physical pull
over Ferrell and Giuliani In the
early weeks of Grapefruit League
campaigning.
If Early makes the grade and
does all the things expected by Har-
ris, it may be that Griffith will be
free to renew his trade talk with
other clubs. Current plans call for
Bobby Estalella to play left field
and for Jimmy Wasdell to start at
first base. There is some doubt as
to whether both, if either, will make
the grade. In the event either or
both fails, it will become almost
necessary for Griffith to go to mar
ket.
If Early develops to handle most
Of the catching. Harris and Grif-
fifth may deem 1t advisable to trade
for Ferrell.
If Wasdell fails to make good at
first base it is likely that Sammy
West, the veteran outflelder, will
be moved to that station. If Esta-
leila fails to make the grade as an
outfielder the Mats will 60 on the
hunt for f1ychaser, preferably
young Roy Cullenbine of the Tigers.
There still is a strong suspicion
that Griffith, under these circum-
stances, would trade Shortstop Ce-
Gil Travis and Ferrell to Detroit for
Cullenbine and Catcher Birdie Teb-
belts. This would leave Charley Gel
bert to play shortstop and, to hear
the talk, Charley is plenty good
enough to hold down the job for a
couple OF years, or until Griffith can
come up with Q youngster for that
pohtSos.

Money Ever Sweet Music
To Rickey's Ear

You can wave checkbook beneath
Branch Rickey's nose just so long.
Then he sneezes and yields up his
fountain pen and shows you where
to sign. There is report in cir
culation that the Cardinal general
manager was willing to sell Mize
over the river to Chicago for $780,
900, but that Sam Breadon, his boss,
said no. A rift is supposed to be
forming between Breadon and
Hickey.
Kid Mr. Hickey all you choose,
there are times when his ear for the
music of money In the bank does
the st. Louis team more good than
harm. Last year he accepted $185,-
900 and secondhand ivory for Dizzy
Dean. The Cubs say, because Dean
helped them in the stretch drive
for the pennant, that he was worth
every nickel of it. Mr. Hickey,
though, thinks he got much the
better of the deal, and I think he
is right. Curt Davis alone, who
came to the Cards in the transac-
ton, was better pitcher than Dizzy
over the season, and those 185 900
well-trained dollars were in there
catching interest for the Cardinals
all year long.
Mize and Medwick are something
else again. Both are sound and
powerful, and either would mean a
pennant to the cubs. Together, they
may mean a pennant for the Car
dinals. I trust Mr.. Hickey and Mr.
Breadon will keep them under lock
and key.
This is necessary precaution, be-
cause Chicago snipers are prowline
around the old stockade night and
day, with Well-filled fountain pens
in their hands and a million rounds
of ammunition in their wallets. II
they can't snare MedWick they will
settle for Mize, and they know the
weakness in the enemy's defense.
Believe 1t or not, the Cards have
something besides the two sluggers
Jim Brown is a hard-hitting in
fielder. Owen, Padgett and Slaugh-
ter still are coming along. Warneke
Weiland, Davis and MCGEE form the
nucleus of a good pitching staff.
But We'll have to hang on to
Mize and Medwick. If we do, 60 out
and shop for some to !.
