veloped close business association and Sam had great faith in his lieu tenants judgment. Hickey handled preliminary negotiations on all player deals, ran the vast Cardinal farm. But Breadon reserved one right for himself-he was to hire and fire managers as he pleased
 And he did. O'Farrell served one season, was replaced by Bill McKechnie in 1928. Deacon Bill won the pennant but was dismissed to the International League in 1929 in favor of Billy Southworth Midway in the scherule, Southworth was hustled back to Rochester and McKechnie reinstated as the Cardi- nal field boss. Gabby Street, coach in 1929, became manager in 1930, started with a pennaAt. Thus the Cardinals had new pilots for six consecutive seasons starting with Rickey in '25-and won three pen- nants.
 It was often said that every train passing through St. Louis was either bringing in new field boss or taking an old one away.
 Street won another flag in 1881, also vanquished the As in the World Series, yet the Ole Sarge was dropped like hot potato two years later for Frankie Frisch.

United Press Sports Writer) New York, March 21 = (UP) = bnnded by the sun, confused by camp chatter and naturally non compoS mentis, Fearless Fraley staggered in from his Florida safari Sooay and predicted unequivocally g1G uncertainty that the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cards would meet in the 1946 world series. surrounded by newSpapermen ana other accredited bill collectors, Olo Fearless saved the American ana National Leagues @ lot of travel and bother and ruined ter- rli1c stretch battle among the Tigers. Red Sox and Yankees by Writing down the order of finish. It goes this way:

 Washington Senators

 NATIONAL LEAGUE
 St. Louis Cards

 Pittsburgh Pirates

 Admitting under pressure that he had picked such also-rans as Pitts burgh and Washington last year, Fearless complained that even the subways were in the hole in 1945 But this year 1t is far different if!
 For instance, if Detroit doesn't win, then the Yankees or Red SoX should. Positive statements thus be- ing in order, you have to admit that the Tiger tossing, outfield and power make the Briggs boys pretty tough to shave. Boston has early strength in the hill department but the question is whether it will last down the stretch. The Yankees have power to burn but pitching may lack the necessary push but tons.
 Past those three hurdles it's a rough race. Washington has bal ance, with fine pitching and good infield and outfleld. Power is the poser in the capital. Cleveland is set in the outfield and from there on down 1t doesn't appear to be very formidable.

ERIC JOHNsTON
: By BOB HOPE ,


 I met Eric Johnston, the new boss of the movie producers, the other night. You know what his job is. when a glamorous star is wearing a sweater in Q scene, he's the guy who goes around and tells her how deeply she can breathe.
 He looks a little like a movie star himself. If ever things get too tough with his office, he could step into pictures and make some extra coin romancing Greer Gar son or Hedy Lamar for pay. Isn't this a screwy business?
 It's reported that the producers, have him on a salary of $i0O,- % year. That's a lot of money to pay guy to have him come around an say mo" to you. They tried to get him for SIS, 900, but for that price he could only hold up one finger and say, ''huh-uh." But at that he has one distinc- ton in Hollywood. He's the only professional mo" man in Q town of professional ives" men.
 But saying mo" isn't his only job. For example, on the day when I do a big kissing scene with Dottie Lamour, he's the guy who stands by to pry her loose and convince me that, after all she's entitled to go out for dinner.

HOLLYWOOD, March 21-DEAR STAFF: I was much interested in conversation had recently with Jackie Cooper. Young Cooper, as you know has Just returned after two years in the Navy. He and his wife, June Horne, are expecting a baby in July, and, like all young parents, are filled with plans for their expected heir I asked Jackie if he was going to put his baby in pictures, but Cooper was most em- phatic in his opinions against such a career for a child.
 Absolutely not" he said. T want my kid to live like a human being, not an actor. wouldn't trade my years in show business, but, looking back, I can see that that isn't the way to bring up a child. Kids should mix with other kids, in pub- lie school, not be educated by tu- tors. I want mine to have twelve years of living just like other kids"
 Well, l can't agree with young Cooper. Looking over the lists, there is no more normal group in Holly wood than the ex-kid actors. Many of them, like Cooper, have gone on to bigger and better successes as adults than they knew as children. Certainly you would search long time to find two more normal girls than Shirley Temple and Jane Withers, both the result of a life time before the cameras and both educated by studio tutors. Ann Shirley is another child star who grew into lovely womanhood and duplicated her early successes in her later screen life.
 Mickey Rooney, Jackie Coogan, Bobby Breen and Wesley Barry are proof that boy actors, too, can survive the rigors of movie life and emerge sane, well-balanced adults. I am afraid Jackie Cooper is talk ing a pessimistic view of life in Hollywood, and that if he will just look around and take stock of him. self and his friends, he will be con- vinced that a child star has more than a fair chance to live a normal successful life,.
 JIMMIE FIDLER
 DEAR BOSS: We think you are absolutely right, and we find the eX-child actors one of the incest groups in town. Jackie should talk to men like Jack Holt, Noah Beery, B!ng Crosby and Walter Huston if he wants expert advice on this im- portant subject. Their kids, Tim and Jennifer Holt, Noah Beery, Jrp the Crosby lads and John Hueton seem to be doing all right in pie lures, and now we see that Bob Cummings has launched his five. weeks old son on a movie career. Life in Hollywood is what you make it and most of the movie kids seem to make 1t good.
 But what about the latest gossip?
 Larraine Day and her husband, Ray Hendricks, found so much pleasure in their adopted baby that their friends were inspired to make room in their homes for homeless children.
