Cardinals Likely :

ToBe Improved

DS (Ninth of a of a Series)

CHICAGO. March 12 (U. P.)—An unpredictable infield can make the St. Louis Cardinals just a fair -ball club or a new, roaring edition of the old Gas House Gang. ‘There secms to be no doubt that the Cards are making a comeback after their poorest season in - five years. Booming bats of Joe Med-

_ wick and Johnny Mize, business-like

attitude of Dizzy Dean and the natural development of last season’s young players indicate the club will

be improvec. But Mize, who finished second to

‘ National Ieague batting champion - Pucky Medwick with an average of

.364, is the only infielder who knuws where hell be next. Mize will stay on first. Jimmy Erown or Stuart Martin will be on second. Brown or Jimmy Webb will niay shortstop. Joe Stripp, Don_ Gutteridge and Art Garibaldi may fight it out for third. Even old Pepper. Martin may swing in from right field to play third. ‘Medwick (.374) is a fixture in left field, Terry Moore (.267) likely will be back in center and either Martin or Rookie Enos Slaughter, who hit 282 with Columbus last season, will be in right field. Manager Frank Frisch, as usual, js none too happy about his infield. He settled on Martin at second, Brown as short and Gutteridge at third in his Arst training game. It may stay that way, although none gate glose 5, Bing 309. Jasi see-

Mickey Owen, reinforced by considerable exfra. weight, is the first choice at the catching job, although his continucd presence will depend on his hitting. Don Padgett, an outfielder, may have a fling at the job. Frisch has 15 pitching possibilities on his roster, including right-hand-

- ers .Digey Dean, who won 13 and

lost 10 last year; Si Jo 1212), Dominic Ryba (9-6), and" Lon Warneke (18-11). Bob Weiland, who won 15, lost 14, is the only southpaw Ww 10 was with the club last

season, bui Lefty Roy Henshaw, who

won 5 and ‘ost 12 with Brooklyn, and Max Maen, who picked up 21] °

Governor Urges a Similar Policy for Relations With Industry.

Times Special PLYMOUTH, Ind. March 12.— Declaring the New Deal has suce ‘cessfully - stabilized = agriculture, Governor Townsend said here that such a policy logically should be in government's relation with industry. Speaking here last night at a Marshall County Democratic meeting, the Governor. said: “Now, there is a real public need for stabilization of industry. Those who lost their jobs in the recession and the businessmen whose sales declined need and shall have the protection and security that a workable democracy can give them. “We must now turn our attention to eliminating the peaks of prosperity and. the valleys of depression by steadying income and commodity prices and lifting the heavy hand of monopoly off the throat of American business. “In the coming campaign the issue is the same as in the last three campaigns: Shall we go forward with the New Deal or turn back to dollar democracy?” The Governor said because of the New Deal program agriculture “is the most healthy and prosperous industry in America today.” He said Indiana farmers had $20,000,~ 000 more income in 1937 than in 1936.
