Three Cards' Stars Jump To Mexico League New York, May 24- (UP) — HaeebuH’s renowed "horse-trader", president Sam Breadon of the St. laiul* Cardinals, who built u championship dynasty on what players called "coolie wagra," was threatened today with loss of the pennant for the second straight season because of his low salary policy. Breadon. badly upei-t over the j loss of three star players, pitchers j .Max lainlcr and Fred Marlin, und infielder Ixtu Klein to the rich Mexican League, tried to be phlloi sophi< ul and said that "even with(out them we wlill have a great i ball club.” Although they resorted to a different mean* of showing their displeasure ut Cardinal ealarlex, the desertion of Lanier. Marlin, and Klein was likened to last year's player revolt by the Cardinal brother buttery of catcher Walker Cooper and pitcher Morton Cooper. The Cooper* put on a “sit-down"! strike when Breadon refused to pay them as much as shortstop Marly Marion, who at 612,500 wae the highest salaried player on the J club. Later. Breadon sold th»» disgruntled Morton Cooper to the Boston Braves and catcher Walker left to join the navy. Significantly.! the Cards failed to win the pen- , nant for the first lime after three, 'straight year*. It also developed that Bread in.' . regarded as one of the shrewdest operator* in baseball, had failed to file injunctions against the raid- ' ing Mexican*, a move which stopped their forays iiguinst the New York Yankee*, the Giant*, and the Brooklyn Dodgers. ”1 couldn't tell you anything about injunctions now," Breadon said. "I just want to get back to St. laruta. where I’ll go into ull these things." The mlMKing player* still were j given ati open door Io return by i manager Eddie Dyer, who said that he would Im« glad to lake them if it was “okay with Breadon." "If It m true that they have gone, it is a serious blow to our pennant chances," Dyer said.

Many Top Drivers Still To Qualify Indianapolis, May 24 ♦ tl'P) There were 14 driver* qualified to- ' day for the 500-mlle Memorial Day race, but mott of America'* greatest drivers were strangely miss- , lug from the list. Mechanical troubles have sidelined the crack racer* of such top notchers as American champion Rex Muys, Ralph Hepburn, Chet Miller, Lou Tomei. Frank Wearne und Georgo Bnrrlnger. These member* of the exclusive dub of drivers who have bettered 100 miles per hour forth« "500" will jostle for the remaining 19 berths In the starting field of 33 doting qualifying trials this Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday. Cite Bergere took the pole with u time of 126.471 miles an hour. Ted Horn was next to qualify, at 1 123.890. Muurl Rose, co winner In i 1941 with Floyd Davis, finished with 124 065 m. p. h. while the fourth -Russ Snowberger, Detroit veteran had an average of 121.593. Paul Russo, No. 2 ranking driver nationally, and Tony Bettenhausen, ranked ninth by the American automobile association, were the other "big name" drivers to qualify. Aside from those six, however, the first 14 starting berths were filled by "leaser lights" of the racing fraternity. Mays, Hepburn and the other perennial front runners have been bothered by "post-war ball bearing troubles.” The current-type liearings were unable to stand pressure, requiring the rebuilding of many racers from the wheel* on up.
