Before leaving Florida, however, the Tribesmen went to Bradenton today to engage in a return game with the St. Louis Cardinals, and cording to whispers heard in the grapefruit league, Gabby Street planned to use all of his power, hoping to make up for the trouncing the Indians gave his National League champions last Sunday, when the clubs met in Sarasota. Mike Cvengros and Herman Holshouser were slated to -do the hurling today for the Hoosiers against the big leaguers, and the catching was to be shared by Angley and Biddle.

It Worked i By United Press NEW YORK, April I. Knute Rockne’s football teams were noted for their cosmopolitan materials. He once said that he welded his teams from “national characteristics” and used them where they would accomplish the most. “Give me Italians and French for fire and dash,” he remarked. He probably had in mind Chevigny, the Frenchman, and Carideo, the Italian. “Gice me Teutons for ability to withstand punishment,” he said, and it was Knute who made Miller and Stuhldreher famous. “Give me Anglo-Saxons for stubbornness.” He had plenty of them, too.

Editor'* Note—This i* the rinth of a series dealing with 1931 prospects of the. various major league baseball clubs. By United Press . NEW YORK, April I—ls confidence means anything, the St. Louis Cardinals already are “in.” Manager Gabby Street and his players envision a walkaway in the 1931 National League race despite the opinion of many baseball men that the Cards are not capable of repeating their 1930 triumph. This confidence is based mainly upon the showing of Dizzy Dean and Paul Derringer, sensational recruits who are expected to win regular berths on the St. Louis pitching staff. Street already has one of the strongest staffs in the league with Grimes, Hallahan, Haines, Johnson, Rhem and Lindsey as his

to the type of opposing pitching. Andy High, Ed Delker, and Jim Collins will be the infield understudies with Gus Mancuso and Mike Gonzales completing the catching staff. The first base situation is regarded as especially important to the Cards chances and Street expects the position to provide added batting power for the club. Bottomley, whose batting average slumped to .303 last year, and Jimmy Collins, a rookie who hit .376 in the International League, are fighting for the berth. Bottomley has 'been hitting in old-time form during training camp and is expected to retain his post. Colbert, capable young shortstop, has acquired new confidence following his sensational world series plav. With Frisch at second and Adam? on the Cards boast an tremely capable infield. Delker. hard hitter, is making a strong bid for the third base job and may eventually oust Adams.
