Sniff Of Big Series Gosh
Hos Club on EDGE.

Baseball had seen better teams,
but none with so much color. There
was the time when Jimmy Wilson,
the crack Cardinal catcher, began
missing his silk shirts from the
locker. Dizzy Dean began wearing
them. Dizzy then was rookie.
When Jimmy put the blast on Diz
for pilfering his favorite shirt, Dean
only grinned.
Listen, Jimmy" he said. II came
down here with only one shirt. I
knew you wouldn't want the greatest
pitcher baseball ever knew to go
around with the same shirt for a
month. Now, would you?"
"I guess you're right, Diz," Wilson
said. So Dean kept the shirt.
But there still is enough color in
this present Cardinal outfit.
I'VE got a sniff of that World
Series cash last fall" one of them
told me. eve didn't quite make it,
but it was fragrant smell. But it
will be different this year. We think
we can win. The Reds will have to
be better than they we're year ago
to head us off,"

BRADENTON, Fla, March 13.
Hank Greenberg is hitting as
hard as a left fielder as he used
to when he played first base. but
1t appears he still has a lot to
learn about fielding his new po-
sition.
Hank was over near center
field yesterday when Cookie
Lavagetto belted triple that
started Brooklyn's five-run rally.
A moment later he had to do a
lot more roadwork on Roy Cul-

The
SPORTLIGHT
Cards Becoming Hawks,
Ready for Flag Swoop
By GRANTLAND RICE,

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 13
NA.N.A).-The Redbird engraved
upon the shirts of the St. Louis
Cardinals has turned into a hawk.
seeking its prey.
A year ago these Cardinals were
not sure whether they might finish
second or fifth. They needed the
hammering experience of a hard
campaign. Branch hickey advised
me to pick the Reds for 1899 and
the Cardinals for 1910.
I'VE have quite a number Of
young fellows" he said, who need
just one more season. The Reds
will get the jump on this young
team. but we won't be far away in
the stretch. 1t will be different next
year.
This happens to be the next
year" mentioned by Mr.. Hickey.
If he is as sound a prophet in
1910 as he was in 1899 the Carol
mails already are in.
They have that years experience
stuck under their belts and the
soundest all-around pitching staff
in the National League and one of
the best in baseball.
BIodes Says Six Teams
Hove Flag Chances.
There are those around who will
advise you not to climb too far
towards the end of the limb in this
Cardinal matter. They mention the
fact that Davis, Warneke and Lei
land no longer are kids-that most
of the younger pitchers have yet
to prove their place-and that
Pepper Martin can't retain the
iron in his system and the flame
in his soul forever.
They also bring out the fact that
Joe Medwick hasn't been any too
happy under the St. Louis setup
for some time. And Ducky Med
wick happens to be one of the best
ball players in either league. He
may be high-strung and tempera-
mental, but he can hit, field, run
and throw-the four main essen
tials.
Ray Blades figures there are six
teams than can win the National
League pennant.
can't agree with him. The race
should be between the Cardinals and
Reds, with the Dodgers and Cubs
making the main challenge
From June on, the Cardinals
closed up a IA or Is game deficit
against the Reds a year ago. They
came from almost nowhere and
fought down the stretch in head
and-head finish.
On form they look to be the top
team at this date with their COM
bination of pitching, speed and the
well-known punch. To this you can
add youth with a fair share of ex-
perience-youth mixed in with vet
eran talent. And this time they be-
lieve they can put it over, which is
no slight help. They have the con-
fidence now that they lacked at this
date year ago.
Most of the old Gas House Gang
have left the scene. They are scat
tered far and wide.
Only few years ago at Bradenton
there were two Deans, Jimmy Will
son, Rip Collins. Leo Durocher, Bill

Six Million
To
Be Offered

Raleigh, Aug. 30.-From North
Cardinals two forest nurseries there
will be available for reforestatior
work this fall more than six million
forest seedlings, Assistant State For
ester F. H. Claridge, in charge of
forest management for the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment, said today.
First Of them will likely be ready
for distribution late in November or
early in December.
The baby trees suffered somewhat
from the hot weather of July and
August, but the late August rains,
which caused SO much flood dam
age, were especially helpful to the
growing seedlings. Present outlook
is that there will be at least 100000
seedlings at the Clayton nursery in
Johnston county, while the noun
tain nursery in Henderson between
Hcndersonville and Brevard should
produce more than 100000, Claridge
said.
Of the Clayton seedlings, about g.
100000 are loblolly pines, 100000
longleaf pines, 100000 short leaf
piEes, 275,000 black locust, 100000
yellow poplar and the balance in
black walnut, red cedar and cypress.
OF the Henderson county seedlings,
about half will be Whitepine, with
the other half divided into cedar and
other hardWoods.
Already the forest nurseries have
orders for more than 100000 Of the
seedlings. Farmers and landowners
desiring them had best act at once,
Claridge advised, pointing out that
last year, there were orders for more
than 100000 which could not De

exhausted.
The ordinary pines may be had for
So per thousand, delivered anywhere
in North Carolina. or at S1.8O at the
nurseries. White pine is So per thous-
ana, while black walnut runs $40
per thousand, delivered, or $3.50 at
the nurseries.

Another Balkan Stew

Nowhere in the world has there
been q hotbed of international chica-
merry and manipulation such as now
exists and for perhaps centuries has
existed in the Balkan states in south
eastern Europe. The section is
honeycombed with small countries,
hardly any of them of greater size or
population than that Of two or three
average American states.
What is going on now between Ru-
malta and Hungary is serious enough
business. yet it may be regarded, as
can other similar dealings there, as
but the surface appearance OF the
work Of larger powers who are stand
ing behind the curtain pulling the
strings for the Punch and Judy act
that is being put on before the eyes
of the world.
Governments and inhabitants OF
the two small nations are doing the
worrying. the paying and the sui
rering generally, but Hitler, Stain
and MusSolini, particularly the tor-
mer two, are the real performers.
The chcssboard is theirs, and they
are gambling between themselves as
10 who shall win the paWnS.
This fact, unfortunately, is what
makes the situation serious and pro-
vides the possibilities for all man
uer of explosives and evil potentlall-
ties. If it were merely quarrel be-
tween Rumania and Hungary, there
would be little to cause alarm, for
neither has the power nor the desire
10 do great harm to the other.
The dictators are demanding con-
cessionS here and there not because
they care anything about what is
right and just for these two small
Balkan countries. What they are
plugging for is a manipulation OF
chessmen that will best serve their
OWN ends. That is the explanation
of the stew and stir in the Balkins
ut this time, as in decades past, but
the explanation in no sense mini
mixes the potential danger involved.
