Cards loaded With Vef s For National Flag BY LEO H. PETERSEN (United Press Sports Editor) St Petersburg. Fla March 30 (CPi This ix ado or die year for the St Louis Cardinale If they don't win the National league pennant this coming season, the chances are that it will he a! long time before they get ba k Into -wing of championship thing' For they have little new blood they are loaded for bear with veterans, and some of them may lie nearing the end of the major league trail Hut if the old timers can come up with another good year, they promise to be a little bit more than such clubs as the Dodgers. Brave* and Giants could handle. Last year, the Cards had miser able luck with player after player coming up with injuries and with the pitchers developing all sorts of arm miseries. Manager Eddie Dyer thought that thee club simply couldn't have tfs much trouble again this season, but it looks like the old jinx is still at work for the Redbird*' peerless shortstep. Marty Marion, has a knee injury, one which might well end his great major league career For Dyer hasn't a top-flight replacement, in fact it looks now as! though he will move Al (Red)j Schoendienst to shortstop and rookie Boh Young, up from the Rochester Redwings of the International league taking over at second base. If that doesn't go. he will try Bernie Creger. potentially a great defensive star hut still 4 little green, at Marion's spot The group which Dyer is whipping into shape here is a far cry from the days of the gas house gang But that doesn't mean they lack spirit They are hungry ball players Which means that they would like and some of then; need the money that goes with winning the pennant and getting a cut of world series gold It turned out last year that they
