Asa Bushnell, eastern intercolle-

Biggest drawback to the changes
is their failure to be used univer-

Sewell had his players right
back at practice today to keep
them on the fine edge they had
during their last home stand when

While the Cards pilot stuck by

Mort came out with a statement
that lent belief to the general opin.
ion he would get the call.
Asked it the boss had told him
whether he was to pitch the first
game, Mort replied:
II can't answer that question"
The fact that Cooper didn't deny
the question was the basis for the
belief that he would get the as.

record, pitched his last game a
week ago last Sunday when he
went is innings to beat the Phillies

the Giants last Saturday but the
game was postponed. Although he

Southworth said he would start
his regular lineup, which is Walker

at shortstop, Kurowski on third and
Musial, Litwhiler and Hopp in the
outfield.
Physically, Litwhiler is the only
question mark. The hard hitting
