He caused a few raised eyebrow* last week when he said that tie waun't going to use Hal Newhou*er when Hob Feller pitched f >r the Indians. That made It round as if he thought Feller w.>i a hotter pitcher than hi* left handed art fat who won 51 games in the past two seasons. "There Isn't any sense In Gendin* your beat man again'! Feller when you have more chance to win with him In another spot," b<* M>d. That was no admission that be thought Feller the better man, it was simply his idea of shooting for one fairly certain victory and gambling for two. \nd it worked. The tough part, of course, was In IteatiiiK Feller, but the Titter• did It in 11 innings yesterday. 3 to 2, after Newhouser won the Saturday game.

April 22 —(UP)— If there's a question mark about the >'.trength of the pennant favored St. Louh Cardinals it center* about rookie first baseman Dick Staler, but manager Eddie Dyer made it plain t"day he’s not worried over the situation. The Cardinal* concluded a two game cedes with the champion ( hlcago Cubs here yesterday and on the basis of Young Skier's showing so far there's a reasonable doubt as to bls defensive •onndneM. So diamond exper’s felt Dyer and owner Sam Brea-don made a mistake when they committed • themselves to go with rookie Sts-

He'S had some experience there and would make us a good man. Then toa. I have ‘Red Schoendiet available. He's never l>een u»ed ut first, but he's such a natural ball player that I kn<»* h Mould handle it without trouble." In the Cardinal* bountiful *’JP ply of talent and the juggling that may be necessary lo field the strongest combination, Dye* •* emphatic that at all times Schoendist will have a »l>ot ««>me place in the lineup. "There's u fellow you stick in any place und he'll do a bang-up Job for you," Dyer said, "laat y‘‘“ r they used him in the outfield, at short nnd second and he wax a Star in every spot. 1 know If I ever have to use him at first he'll come thr:ugb for me." Dyer said that In previous seasons Schoendlst had bean hand!rapped by arm trouble. "He's entirely sound this eearon," the Cardinal pilot said, "and should be In for hl* greatest year."
