NEW YORK, May 15-The St, Louis Cardinals, always good stretch runners, have shown some surprising early foot this season and that's bad news for the Reds and Dodgers.
 After faltering starts in 1889 and 1940, the Cards found them selves in mid-scason and came like the wind up to the finish. Two years ago they were dueling with the Reds right down to the last day or so. And last season, from the time Billy SouthWorth took over, they played better ball than any team in the league, the Reds included.
 They didn't wait for hot wealth. CT to unloose their drive this year. Right off the barrier they whipped the world champion Reds in the opener and took four out of five engagements. They strung out a straight winning streak,
 If they continue their win
 ming ways the Cards won't
 have any ground to make up
 along in July, when they GUS
 tomarily get going. and they'll
 beat the Reds and Dodgers to
 Che wire.
 Whats got into the Cardinals who were figured no better than third by most of the experts in preseason polls?
 Their pitching has been unex- pectedly good. Five of their eight regulars are hitting well over 300. Their young catcher. Walker Cooper, ranks as rookie find Young Frank Crespi is playing q corking second base game. And very important, the gang has speed
 Johnny Mize, at first base, is
 the only regular with lead in

 would be infield outs.
 Because of their zip, they have rival nd-snatchers pressing to get the ball away quickly enough to nab them at first Infielders are sure to pebble now and then when they're rushing their throws and

such errors put many Card on base.
 Pitching uncertainties and an in- field tumble caused some experts to go thumbs down on the Cardi nals. But Billy the Kid Southworth kept juggling that infield until he came up with one that suited him and it looks great now.
 Jimmy Brown switched from
 second Co third and Crespi, a
 fellow who had done short util-
 fly jobs for the Cards, moved
 in at second. Martin Marion,
 the tallest, thinnest shortstop
 in the majors, completed the
 revised inner circle with bulky

They have great deal of curiosity and will often approach a man and stand on their hind legs in order to take a good look at him. Under such conditions, if man remains stationary and talks in an ordinary conversational tone, the chances are 1000 to l that the bear, after looking him over, will wander away

 Few people, hunters say, have held very long conversations with live bear. It doesn't seem to be very desirable. The tank analogy is a good idea. Put the fox terrier, a good rifle and a hunter in the tank and then talk to the bear

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY. AUGUsT i,


Since each day in which war
destroys life and property is of
tremendous significance the stars
are read with a sense of uncer-
tainty. What never has been
will be, it seems. Today an ad-
verse sign threatens men in au-
thority whether in government
or in armed forces.
Heart and Home: This should
be a fortunate date for begin
ming important work. 1t prom
ises much for executive tasks
and is suspicious for the head OF
the family While public affairs
may be under threatening and
perplexing influences, whatever
concerns TIE home should be har-
monious end happy. Contrast
between the peace of the house
hold and the conflict of war will
be felt under this configuration.
Drama is indicated for the sons
and sacrifice for the daughters
Of the family.
National Issues: Coordination
and spportionment of defense
work will cause overwork on the
part Of officials entrusted with
key duties IN Washington. Ill
ness and even the closing of inn
portant careers have been prog
nosticated. Hearty commenda-
ton instead Of ignorant criticism
should be accorded men and
women who carry heavy burdens
of responsibility. Two changes
in the presidents cabinet have
been forecast for an early date.
Persons whose birthdatc il is
have the sugury of a year of
good fortune. but for some there
may be disappointment in large
ambitions. Travel and military
service for men are foretold.
Children born on this day viii
be energetic and courageous.
Outstanding success is pressged
for these boys and girls under
strong sun influences.
