TRAINING CAMP TOPICS

St. Petersburg, Fla, March l. Rookie Dick Sisler, 25-year-old son of baseballs immortal George Sis Ter, began workouts with the St. Louis Cardinals today and observers predicted that the hard-hitting youngster might open the season for the Redbirds at first base.
 One of his strongest boosters is Mike Gonzales. the Cardinals vet- eran coach of good field, no hit" fame. During a long distance tsle- phone conversation with owner sam Breadon, the graying Cuban said:
 "She hit 35 home runs National League. Field? hTree times good as Mize. No humpty dumpty, Watch what I tole you
 Everybody today, including regu- lar first baseman Ray Sanders, was watching the kid, a 6-foot, 2-inch, 200-pounder who swings with the grace of his father when he was the peerless first baseman of the St, Louis Browns during the early '2Os.
 Before starting workouts under Manager Eddie Dyer, young sisler asked only one thing of newspaper men here-sdon't compare me with my father"
 That's the only thing ! don't like about trying to make the Majors at first base, Dad was too good D he said.

St. Petersburg, March l - (NEA) So successful was the St. Louis Cardinals chain-Store system that soon Sam Breadon and his associate Branch Hickey, found they were de- veloping more talent than the par- ent club could use.
 Thus they entered a new and lucrative field-selling dozens and dozen of homegrown products to other major league clubs. This by- product, along with reord-break- Ing cash deals for members of the Cardinal Club itself, netted the St. Louis National Leaguers' treasury a million dollars and more.
 Outstanding among these deals are the following;
 l938-Jerome (Dizxy) Dean to Chicago Cubs-$l85, 900.
 lo46-Walker Cooper to New York Giants-$l7S, 900.
 1940-Joe Medwick to Brooklyn Dodgers-$l25,000
 19S2-"Chick" Hafey to Cincin. nati Reds-$l0O,0OO.
 1s38-'Mickey" Owen to Brook lyn Dodgers-$65, 900.
 1932-Jim Bottomley to Cincin- natl Reds-$60, 900.
 1935-"Tex' Carleton to Chicago Cubs-$40,000.
 l94l-Johnny Mize to New York GiantS-$60,0 900.
 l945-Morton Cooper to Boston Braves-$60,000.
 l940-Don Padgett to Brooklyn Dodgers-$35,000.
 l946-Jimmy Brown to Pittsburgh Pirates-$3O, 900.
 Here you have a total of $935 900 without touching upon the sale of countless players sold to other ma- jor league teams from the Cardin- alS' many farms. To show how well Breadon and Hickey fared in that department, here are a few ex- ampleS:
 Pitcher Bill Lee and Catcher Ken- ny O'Dea, of Columbus American Association, to Chicago Cubs-$60,. GOO.
 Pitcher Fred Ostermueller and Mike Ryba, of Rochester Interna- tional League, to Boston Red sOx-
 Infielders Billy Myers and Lew Riggs, Columbus, to Cincinnati Reds $40, 900.
 outfielder Johnny Rizzo, Colum- bus, to Pittsburgh Pirates-s30,O 900.
 Inhelder Heine Schuble, Houston Texas League, to Detroit Tigers s30.OO0.
 A total Of LAS 900, all in surplus player deaisl The Cardinals had come a long distance from the dark and lean days of the early le20's when Breadon and Hickey spent long and unpleasant hours trying to balance their budget,
 It was in 1922 that owner BTea. don accepted Rickey's idea for ehAin-store baseball. Four years later, in 1928, the Cards won their first pennant in 2e years. In the 70 years to follow they won seven more fiags-all this success in addition to the prosperous sldellDe of selling talentl
 The remarkable factor Of the Cardinal system Is that ln unloading surplus players to rival teams the Cards never weakened their own National League entry, They were simply Spf0ntlng more material than they themselves could handle, a tribute 70 the excellent judgment used by Redblrd scouts in signing raw talent,

Miss Atha Josey of Wilmington, N. C., winning contestant on this weeks session, proved to be such riot trading wisecrackS with Hawk that she had a hard time convincing people she was not a trained com edienne. The records show, however, that Miss Josey taught the Fourth Grade in Wilmington's public school system until last June.

 2.-At that time applications were on file and additional ones since have been filed with the De- partment of Interior for federal permits to drill on or otherwise develop these lands.

 4.-Although there was much fussing ard fuming in public and private about the so-called cloud ing of title to these lands, no fur ther action was taken until March of last year, when McCarran in troduced the present quit-claim proposal in the Senate.
