The Miami times., 1952-03-29

A st. Louis Cardinals team
with fiery Eddie Stanky making
his managerial debut and de-
termined to revive the "Gas
House Gang spirit of the mid
thirties RedbirdS completes
Brooklyn's major league baseball
exhibition stand at Miami Stad-
ium this weekend.
Three games between st. Louis
and the Dodgers on Friday night,
Saturday and Sunday afternoon
should bolster the Miami Stadi-
um attendance back to the over
1000 average of before the two
weekday games with the Phila-
delphia Athletics last Monday
night and Tuesday afternoon.
Records of the 1851 season IN
dicate that if there is any team
in the National League that St.
Louis is cunning for it is the
Dodgers. Brooklyn beat the Car
dinals 18 out of % games last year
for their best percentage against
any other club in the league.
Preacher Roe won seven games
and Carl Erskine and Clyde King
fattened their records by four
victories apiece against the
Cards, yet st. Louis was a strong
enough club to be in contention
until the New York Giants start
ed the fabulous drive to the Ma
tional League pennant.
Stanky was one of the spark
plugs of that Giant drive. He
never had much regard for the
Dodgers and now they'll be his
favorite team-to-beat with st.
Louis.
In addition, the Cardinals al
ways have been colorful team
of sluggers. Great baseball play
ers can't be discussed without
placing the name of Card out
fielder Stan Musial right on top
of the list. And despite st. Louis
slump against Brooklyn last sea-
son, Stan the Man batted hefty
.357 against Brooklyn pitchers.
That wasn't the highest, for Del
Rice hit 1878 and Solly Hemus a
cool 400 in games between the
two National League rivals.
There will be two special
angles involving Brooklyn's Ne
gro players in the weekend fl
male with the Cardinals. Jackie
Robinson's disappointing Grape
fruit batting average is bound to
improve, since he had no trouble
g smuggling st. Louis pitching for a
1863 average in % games last
year. Jackie has had trouble de-
veloping his timing this Spring,
as have several other Dodgers
also, but he began meeting the
ball more solidly in the series
with the Athletics and against
the Boston Braves at Bradenton.
He should be in top form for his
final appearance this year at
Miami Stadium.
Roy Campanella, of course, had
no complaints over his hitting -
especially after knocking out a
home run and four doubles in two
games with the Boston Braves.
But the player coming up for
the big decision with the Cardi-
mails series is pitcher Joe Black.
Big Joe performed creditable
against the Philadelphia Phillies
for five innings and should have
beaten the Boston Red Sox last
Saturday. But an infield error
led to three unearned Bosox runs

YESTERDAYS TOP BALL
PLAYER

NEW YORK - (ANP) - The
editors of Life Magazine, would
never have printed Ty Cobb's
highly controversial baseball
story which has fans everywhere
discussing it, if they did not feel
that at least half million new
readers would buy that issue.
Almost simultaneous with the
publishing of the fiery Georgia
Peach's" blast against modern
stars as compared to oldtimers,
came the utterances of Roger
Hornsby, pilot of Bill Weeks st.
Louis Browns. HornSby said sub
stantially the same thing Cobb did
which was not unexpected to me,
at least.
No one seriously doubts the
true baseball greatness of Tyrus
Raymond Cobb. He has every
right to his Informative and pos
sibly wise opinions. To me it
is merely the opinion of tower
ing diamond giant of an era that
is dead.
l believe that Cobb and many
of his Hall of Fame" contem-
porarieS would have dominated
modern baseball as they did many
years ago. Cobb, a miracle bats
man and base stealer, with his
bellicoSe field-and-grandstand
actions would not have been toll
Grated for a second by Ford
t'rick or Will Harridge and their
cabinet associate.

TEMPO QUICkENED,
PRINCIPLES REMAIN

Harlem street-corner baseball
orators are as well versed in the
finer points of the game itself
as many of the top baseball ex-
perts are. They will tell Ty Cobb
that less than a half dozen basic
changes have been made in the
game discovered by Abner
doubleday.
Thinkers like Eddie Stanky,

Black with the loss. Manager
Charlie Dresser dismissed
Blacks misfortune and said he
plans to give Joe still another
chance before the Dodgers start
north. He will probably be used
in Saturdays game with the
cardinals.

Body Not His Som S,
Minister Calls OFF
Funeral Services
By the Associated Press

GLASGOW, KY. Nov. 15.-A
retired Methodist minister today
hurriedly called off funeral ar
rargements for his son after it
developed that a body sent to
him was not that of his boy.
The grave had been dug. flowers
sent and all other preparations
made for last rites for Robert S.
Weldon. 35, son of DR.. j. w. We'll
don, when the retired churchman
succeeded in establishing contact
with his son.
The body of one of two railroad
workers killed by train at Bryan,
Ohio, last Tuesday was identified
as that of Robert Weldon. and
the body was sent here.
DR.. Weldon said members Of
the family, especially his wife,
were skeptical that the body was
that of Robert Weldon.
That it was all a mistake was
proved later when the family es-
tablished contact with the son
The body of the unidentified
man was returned to Ohio today.

Negro Sports Hall Of Fame

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower has ac-
cepted membership in the Honor
airy National Committee of the
Negro Athletic Hall of Fame AS
sociation. the association an
nounced today.
Gen. Eisenhower wrote Fred
erick D. Pollard. national chairman
of the association:
81 have always been interested
in problems of minority groups
and have been particularly i'm
pressed by the tremendous prog
ress of the Negro race. I am con-
vinced that much of this growth

due to the inspiration and ex-
ample of outstanding Negro ath-
letes."
The association is planning a
Hall of Fame in Harlem.
