NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 16.-Take
glimpse into the raw materials
division OF the worlds greatest base
ball factory, the sprawling st. Loui,
Cardinal system.
Wild Matthews. former big league
player and for many years one of
the games leading scouts, sits be-
hind the batting cage at the New
Orleans Pelicans' Stadium. Two
teams of youngsters are playing a
game.
About $50 other boys, almost every
one in a uniform of different color
or design. sit in the dugouts or along
the baselines. Each will get a
chance to play.
It's tryout camp, one OF about
10 the Cards conduct yearly through
out the country. Any boy who
thinks he can play professional ball
is welcome to show what he can do.
A contract calling for job on a
small club is the usual reward for
the most able.
Wild keeps a book on his knees,
and every play brings a mark on the
book opposite boys name-a mile
post on his road to baseball fame or
to oblivion.
Error, Strikeout Unimportant.
What we look for" Wild explains.
ais speed. poise, good arm, body
control and power at bat. Whether
a man muffs a ball in the field or
strikes out doesn't 60 into the book.
And we don't care about his record,
even if he hit 800 for old Bungle-
field High. We want raw stuff.
The qualifications are the impor-
tant things.
"A fellow can learn some things
about batting. such as the stride,
but he must have poise and natu-
raj free swing
"A pitcher must have a fast ball
that takes Off If it's straight as a
string it will be easy to hit even
with major league speed. And we
can teach control and some other
things-but not speed.
"A fielder must have the body
control to shift his feet instinctively,
to tell instantly which way to turn.
He must have strong arm. We
can drill him on accuracy-but not
the power of his throw.
The game is getting faster-run-
ming speed is becoming more i'm
portant.'
A little left-handed pitcher left
the hill after an inning of gener-
ously bestowing basehits. Wild
called to him. The boys lip quiv-
cred as he fought back tears.
sit down here, SON. the scout
said softly. You're 16 years old
and weigh 135 pounds. They
knocked you around bit but you
never quit. Three years from now
you'll be bigger and stronger and
you'll pin their ears back. I enjoyed

Assessment
Audit is
Authorized

oCounty Treasurer Carl Bran
denburg was given full authori-
ty for an audit of the assess
ment rolls by the County Board
Of Supervisors today in order to
clear up discrepancies in tax re-
turns collected by the townships
and still owing to the county
from as far back as 1897.
Brandenburg appeared before
the board with a request for
overtime for his staff in order
to complete the work prior to
the meeting of the Board of As
SCISSORS. He was ordered to bring
his records up to date by apply
ing what he estimated would be
IS man hours of work at night.
The discrepancies grew out of
former operations in which
banks acted as tax collecting
agencies for the townships and
In cases where proper receipts
had been given for tax payments
by township treasurers and no
returns made to the county.
He estimated that q sum OF
$40, 900 was involved prior to
1889, of which approximately
$4,000 was owed the county
and state. No estimate could be
made of delinquencies after this
date. Brandenburg's survey will
complete this record to date.
