The ■ score was 11 to 5. It was the first regulation contest I of the spring training season for the | Central leaguers and almost the last | for the Cardinals, who will open their s league schedule in Cincinnati Tues- * day. The Chiefs were not treated so very | rudely by the Cards, despite the six- j run margin that shows in the score. < In fact, at the end of the first four in- i I

nlngs, during which the Tribe displayed some rather lusty batting punch, they were ahead of the National leag- • tiers by a one-run margin. But after that, the Cards started pounding the ball, while Sylvester Johnson quieted the Chiefs' tomahawks. With the exception of Sunny Jim 1 Bottomley, first baseman, who has r gone on home ahead of the team, the l Red Birds started their regular line- . up. They made a few changes as the 1 game progressed, but it is probable r that all who got into action here will , be on the roster when the season opens. All of the Chiefs' runs were scored . on Homes, Miller. Reider and Nadoli son poling out four-ply smashes. I 0 , Butler And Wisconsin Tie i Indianapolis.

WRITERS PICK ' GIANTSTOWIN By George Kirksey (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York. April 11 —(UP)— The New York Giants are picked to win the National League pennant in the United Ptess composite selections. Five out pf eight major league baseball experts gave the Giants first place and the other three accorded them second place. Based on a point-system of eight points for first place, seven for second, six for third, etc., the Giants received 61 points. The Chicago Cubs are awarded second place with 55 points. Two writers Chicago and Brooklyn—picked the Cubs to win the pennant, four picked them to place second, one gave them third and the other fourth. The other vote for first place, cast by a St. Louis scribe, went to the Cardinals. Last year's National League champions, however, barely won out in the voting over the Pittsburgh Pirates for third place. The Cardinals polled 45 points, one more than the

Without plenty of rich, red blood, there could be no strong, sturdy, powerful men, or beautiful, healthy women. When you get the number of your red-blood-cells back to normal, that sluggish, let-down feeling, loss of appetite, those pains usually called rheumatism, boils, pimples and skin troubles disappear. You get hungry again and sleep soundly; firm flesh takes the place of that which was once flabby. You feel strong. Your nerves become steady. You are resistant to disease.
