Cards Gel Out
The Red Ink
Farm Clubs Prove
Costly to Chomps

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 10 - (P -
The Cardinals farm system has
bitten the hand which fed it
folding money and reared it
from a pup.
Only the fact the Cards en-
joyed fine financial season
themselves-What with winning
the National League pennant
and the World Series kept
President Sam Breadon from
reporting red ink for the entire
system.
AS it happened, an excellent
home year allowed the Cardi-
mails to pass out one dividend -
So a share-but it didn't COM
pare favorably with 194l when
t.. Redbirds finished second af-
tec months of disastrous injur-
les. When the chips were count
ed in the Fall of Al, stockhold-
ers received two dividends of SIS
a share each.
The secret of the 1912 slump
o. course, is no secret because
it reached the sports pages from
coast to coast during the playing
season, little at a time.
Sacramento, a club battling
for the top, was doing we'll until
night games were banned on the
Pacific coast. Houston had one
of its bad years in the Texas
League and Rochester in the In
ternational League was finan-
cial flop.
Only Columbus of the Amer
lean Association - among the
larger farm club which the Par
ent organization relied upon to
be observation-disclosures out in
the black.
AS usual all the other, smaller
farm clubs-New Orleans in the
Southern Association; Spring
field, Mo, in the Western Asso-
citation; Decatur, Ill.,, in the
Three-Eye League; Albany, Ga,
il the Georgia Florida League,
and Pocatello, Idaho, in the Pho
neer League-also operated at
losses.

H A l. E A II, Jan. l3-It's a
mighty sad tune stable boys are
humming as they work at Hia-
leah and Tropical Parks. The
whinnying of the thoroughbreds
seems melancholy. Sometimes
the breeze, signing through the
palms, brings faint bugle notes
from an army camp. But all
these sounds blend in a requiem
for horse racing in Florida.
Of an early morning at the
two great establishments, every
thing looks normal-at first.
Horses and exercise boys leave
the stables for the track, and
pound around it. Walkers cool
out blanketed mounts returned
from a run. In the open areas
between the stable rows, cord
wood fires heat kettles of water
for steaming bandages and send
out the aromatic smoke which,
with liniment, is incense for
those who travel the racing cir
cults.
But there's a difference, now
that the man on automobile
pleasure driving closed the
meeting at Tropical and prevent
ed the opening of Hialeah. A
boy slides down from the saddle
of a painting bay and says: She

the trainer.
Along poverty row at Tropi-
cal, where some 500 horses are
stranded, owner-trainers gather
in close little groups to talk,
with none of their usual loud
banter.
These are the men who, in
their best days, usually are bare
ly a nose ahead of their feed
bills and now they face weeks of
idleness before other tracks op-
en-, together with the likelihood
of not being able to get trans
portation or fare when getaway
time arrives.
Most of them are as jittery
and short-tempered as their
horses. Some are full of bra

13-(P-Indiana has no orange
groves, crocodiles or palm trees,
but it seems to be just what the
doctor ordered for professional
baseball clubs. In this case the
diagnostician was JOSEF B.
Eastman, national transporting
director.
Three major league clubs al
ready have chosen spring train
ing sites in southern Indiana,
one minor league outfit is COM
ing to western Indiana and two
others one major and one
minor - have all but settled on
using the Indiana University
campus and fieldhouse here.
The Chicago White Sox and
the Chicago Cubs we're the first
to pick Hoosierland for spring
conditioning. They will come to
French Lick, while the Detroit
Tigers will be at Evansville. The
Minneapolis Millers of the
American Association have
chosen Terre Hautc.
Now the Cincinnati Reds and
their one time farm club, the
Indianapolis Indians, are ready
to sign on the dotted line to
take over Indiana University's
baseball facilities. One of the
prime inducements was the big
fieldhouse with its dirt floor,
which would be welcome on
the cool spring days.
All parties to the proposed
tripartite arrangement appeared
in virtual agreement today.
Warren c. Giles, gene era |
manager of the Reds, said at
