|ST. LOUIS CARDS. COULD BE VERY.
 TOUGH THIS YEAR
Southworth Expected to
 Develop Real Challenge for Cincinnati
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Stan Correspondent
 St. Petersburg, Fla, March 27- (UP)-Big things are expected from the St. Louis Cardinals this season. They started to come with @ rush last mid-Season and played the best ball in the National league from the July All-Star game until the seasons end.
 There is 8 good chance that they'll be the Reds most persistent chal- lengers.
 Some changes have been made. Mickey Owen was sold to the Dodg- CTS and Joe Orengo and Bob Bow man to the Giants. However, the loss of these three may not hurt the Cards at all. The Cards can hit and run, and Billy Southworth, who took over after Ray Blades dismissal last June, seems to know mow to get the most out of them.
 Big Job Ahead
 0loomiest part of the St. Louis outlook is the unsettled condition of their infield and the big respon- sibility placed on 35-year-old Gus Mancuso, brought back from the Dodgers to do the catching. Only first base has @ permanent guardian in the Cards infield, Johnny Mize, after Q long holdout siege which ended with 8 $17000 contract, is rounding into form and is expected to continue to blast out those hon- CTS. He led the majors last season with 43
 The rest of the infield may be Jimmy Brown at second, Martin Marion at short and Steve Mesner, who hit .S4l at San Diego. Or the in- field may comprise Creepy Crespi, who hit 1901 with Rochester, at sec- ond; Eddie Lake, who hit .2o5 with Sacramento, at short, and Brown at third. Marion has many boosters, but Branch Rickey told intimates he expects both Crespi and Lake to win regular jobs. This would bench Marion.
 Mancuso, who was in only 60 games with Brooklyn last year, is counted on to cathc more than 100 and to improve the Cardinal pitch CTS. Walked Cooper, highly touted rookie catcher from Columbus, will handle the No. 9 job. He is 8 bright prospect but doesn't appear quite ready to move into the No. job. Don Padgett still is around but no one knows whether he's 8 catchre. first baseman or outfielder. Pitching seems strong. Back from last year are Lon Warneke, Bill Me- Gee, Morton Cooper, Clyde Shoun Max Lanier and Ira Hutchinson, re- lief man. Most promising rockies are John Grodzicki, Howard Krist Ernest White, Murry Dickson and Marry Brehceen.
 Contest
 In the outfield, the only question is: who'll play left field? Last years regular, Ernie Roy, and rookie Har- ry Walker-brother of the Dodgers, Dixie-are battling for the job. Since Roy hits right-handed and Walker left-handed, they may alternate. Walker Is a great fielder with fine arm, but lacks Koys extra base pow CT.
 Terry Moore will play center and possibly get the No. s batting spot behind Mi2e. Enos Slaughter again is in right. Coaker Triplett, who hit .339 at Columbus; veteran Estel Crabtree. who hit .3l4 at Rochester, and Johnny Hopp, who also is first base insurance, will handle the utility outfield jobs.

LEFTY EXPECTED TO BE PAID FOR THE PITCHING

There was the time that Gomez got a two-year contract at $20o0O out of Barrow, after he had won 26 and lost only 5 and had an earned. run average of 2.33 in '34. Gomez demanded $25,00o.
 What makes you think you're worth so much?" asked Barrow. Sure, you're a good pitcher, but you are not so hot fielding your position, you can't hit and you can't run the bases"
 "Well, what do you expectp" re- piled Gomez. 'The contract you're offering me doesn't even pay for my pitching" Gomez says his ambition is to don a suit of armor and ride a bi- cycle from the bull pen to the mound.
 Gomez relates how, after an early squirt, Barrow advised him to put on 20 pounds and make them for get Amos Rusi.
 T put on the 20 pounds" he laugs, land they nearly forgot Co., mez."
 But he eventually put on weight again, and lost his effectiveness. Sc he built himself up on a hunting trip during the winter, and then went on a strict diet.
 STORY TELLER GOMEZ IS LIFE OF YANKEE PARTY
 Gomez first two appearances this spring were fine against the Louisville Colonels and Brooklyn He gave the Dodgers only two hits and one run in five innings pumped the ball across the plate in his finest training performance in several springs.
 The Goofy Castilian hasn't changed since he reported to the Yankees in 1880. He was unspoiled by becoming a great star.
 Many characteristics make Co., meg an outstanding personality. He is full of energy and superstitions. He has a fertile imagination and a keen sense of humor.. He likes fast cars nice things. He is one of the best-dressed men. He Is mar ried to June O'Dea, formerly of musical comedies.
 Nobody wants to see Vernon Co., meg pass out of the big show.
 He has played too big a part Ii, 1t . on and of the field.
 Lefty Gomez has been the best story teller in and the life of the Yankee party for 8 decade.

Gomez Gains Speed---Saving Game One Of Its Few Real Personalities
Even Rivals
 Want To See Lefty Do We'll
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

St. Petersburg, Fla, March 27- Vernon Gomez has regained his speed and everybody is pleased 1. including rivals of the New York Yankees.
 Even opposing athletes would like to see Lefty Gomez do well.
 He Is one of baseball's too few real personalities.
 Gomez couldn't get the Akron Yankees out last summer. There was talk of deal for him until he convinced Ed Barrow that he could do another comeback.
 He bounced back handsomely in 1887, following what for him were two poor seasons and during which the club put detectives on his tail. The management found he wasn't going to bed early enough. He doesn't retire until he finds there is little else to do not even during the training season.
 Gomez gets much pleasure out of baseball and much more out of life.
 It wasn't difficult for El Goofy to talk President Barrow into giv- ing him another chance. Uncle Ed is fond of the elongated and ec- centric SouthpaW.

From all over the east, blood

Soginow Strikers Must
Join AL Union, Claim
200 Hour Working Limit Cited
BY UAVv-AFl international Heed

oDETROIT, Jan. 17-R-f.
van Cary, international presi-
dent Of the AFL-United Auto
mobile workers, announced here
last night that returning strik-
ers Of the rival CIO-UAW Union
would be required to join the
AL Union after working 200
hours in the Eaton manufacture
ihs Co. plant ut Saginaw, Mich.
The Saginaw plant, scene Of
strike disorders last Monday, has
an agreement with the ALL
which the Clio union challenged
last November by strike action.
Mondays strike was called by
the CIO union which charged
that the strikers involved in the
November dispute had not been
rehired according to an agree
ment between the union and the
company.
The AFL-UAW president said
returning CLIO members would
be rehired as new employees" at
full wage rites "as soon as the
jobs open up" He said they
would be given "every consid-
GRAFTON" although they would
lose their seniority.
Neither the Clio nor the ALL
union would reveal last night
whether any strikers had re-
turned to their jobs at the Sag.
NAV plant following a settle
ment arranged Wednesday night
by Federal conciliator James F.
Dewey.
Likewise, the company man
agement declined to elaborate
on its statement that 20 of the
estimated $50 strikers had been
invited" to return.
Carey said the requirement
that all Clio workers would
have to join the AL group at
ter 200 hours in the plant was
provided for in terms of the
ALL unions closed shop agree
ment at Saginaw.
Other Eaton plants, which
were closed by sympathy"
strikes at Detroit, Battle Creek,
Marshall, Mich, and Cleveland,
have contracts with the CLIO
union. The company is working
on sub-contracts for airplane
motor parts.
At Washington yesterday the
National labor relations board
in a split decision rejected the
CIO-UAW's request for an en-
ploye election at the Saginaw
plant.
The decision upheld validity
Of the AL contract and de-
clared there was no reason why
the board should ''break in on
the Saginaw contract merely
because the UAW-CIO claims to
have won over the majority of
the employees"
