SPORTS PARADE
Predict Strong Card Club

Jtle absence OF grand Old JACK Doyle
who died in December.
From now until April 81, when thd
season opens, nearly every sports
columnist and baseball writer in the
country will deliver his predictions
on major league flag races. And we
would not be surprised if about 95n
per cent of the writer's designate the9
cards as repeat victors in Ford
F'rick'S division.
AT the current writing, these
cards look like a shoo-in. The dy-
manic young club that snatched the
National gonfalon from the Dodg-
ers in an electrifying stretch fight
and went on to WreSt the world
championship from the Yankees in
five games, apparently has been
affected less by war inroadS than
anY other outfit in the senior cir
cult
13 MEN LOST
Counting regulars and possibles.
the Cards have lost about 13 men
to the services. But only four of
these can be listed as important
absentees. They are: Terry Moore.
inspiring field captain and center
fielder; Enos Slaughter, slugging
rightfielder; Johnny Beazley, fresh
man pitching sensation of the world
series, and part-time second base
man Creepy Crespi.
Accordingly when Billy South
worths squad reports soon for
training at Cairo, Ill, it will shape
up stronger than any other club ilaD
the circuit. The catching will be-
ably handled by Walker Cooper,
brother of Pitcher Mort. Walker,
beginning his third full season with
the Cards, hit .281 in the last cam
paign and was a defensive bulWark
in the World series. Ken O'Dea,
who worked in SO games, will re-
turn to handle the relief back STOP
ping
Big Mort Cooper, bell-Wether of
the mound staff and the leagues

head potent pitching corps. The
man who registered 90 victories
and an earned-run average of 1T,
will be backed by Ernie White,
HOWE Pollet, Murry Dickson Max

cally intact. George (Whitey) Ku-

ACHIEVES FAME

ACHlESES FAME
In the 26 years or MS lie, Chap
man already has achieved fame as
an all-American halfback and as
one of the top-ranking players in
the major leagues. 1t would be safe
TO predict that somewhere out on
the broad reaches of the Pacific he
will gain recognition in this more
deadly pastime to which he has
brought the coordination and skill
which made him a brilliant athlete.
Sam went up to the AS in '38
right from the California campus.
In his first swing around the cir
cult he hit .358. But he had lot
to learn and he dropped to about
270 for the season. The critics sad
he needed at least two years of
double A ball before he could make
good in the majors.
Connie Mack had faith in him
and the next season Sans batting
average went up several notches
and his fielding improved remark
ably. He continued to climb steadily
until he hit his peak in 1941, bat
ting 1923 and leading the outfielders
in assists.
ENTERS PROGRAM
AT the end OF tit season, he en-
tered the Iunney program as a
chief petty officer. But such a spot
was not for Sam. He wanted action
and accepted demotion in rank IN
order to qualify for pilot training.
Clint Evans. California graduate
manager and a baseball and foot
ball coach for more years than he
likes to remember, says Sam is No.
in his book-no one else even
comes close.
Sam could do everything and
always did the right thing at the
right time when he was playing
football and baseball for u.s." Evans
declares. Connie Mack told me last
year that Sam had developed into
one of the best outfielders in the
majors"
We can back up this assertion
During a chat the day he was being
indicted, Joe DiMaggio, usually
dead-pan and unenthusiastic, nomi-
mated Chapman as the most i'm
proved player in the American
league.
we moved back to the fence
when Sam came up, said DiMag,
and no one took any chances with
his arm"
Maybe the comnruniques soon will
tell US that Sans keen eye and
powerful arm have unleashed a bit
of havoc among the Nips.

Feeling Remained.
Katz and Swede kept this up for
20 minutes. Then they went home.
The cruiser still remained afloat,
listing and smoking and motionless
in the water.
The crazy feeling didn't 60 out
of Swede. He wanted that cruiser.
He wanted it on the bottom more
than he wanted to live. But anti
aircraft fire had damaged all Tor
pedo 8's planes except his own. So
Swede, when he heard that dive
bomber and fighters were going up
to make another attack, went along
by himself.
It was a wild thing to do. but he
figured that the fighters would
strafe the ships and help him out
that way. 1t. Jansen, leading Fight
ing Five on this attack, had more
important things to worry about
than a lone torpedo plane. He had
the dive -bombers to protect from
Zeroes. He climbed up high with
them.
"Jens," cried Swede into the radio,
come down and strafe for me,
please"
But the fighter planes kept
grumbling and grinding their way
upward.
Swede had launched himself into
his run now. "Jens, Jens," he i'm
plored, come down and get these
gunners off me. I'm all by my
self here"
Jens didn't even answer. There
were Zeroes swarming and stinging
among the dive-bombers, trying to

drop.
"Jens! Jens!" Sweed shook his
microphone up and down with ex-
asperation. Suddenly, by accident,
the mike tipped the torpedo release
and the torpedo dropped awkward
ly, then lunged on its way. Swede
was 1900 yards away from his tar
get. He had not even been aiming.
The torpedo passed harmlessly
astern of the cruiser.
Swede was SO angry he almost
wept. Curses came out of him and
the tears stayed in, while the dive
bombers dropped one by one on the
dead cruisers escort vessels.

Get the cruiser!"
With intense misery, Swede real
lied that war is not the time for
doing a friend a favor. The dive
