Cards Facing Same Problem as Tigers; Converting Outfielder Into Catcher

| By JOE WILLIAMS { Times Special Writer

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 26.—Frank Frisch, the old Fordham' Flash, took up where he had left off in | discussing his St. Louis Cardinals—or rather where Martin's musical’ Mudcats had interrupted the night before. The Mudcats had

gone to a neighboring town for the |

day,- the Flash had stayed heme. Thus, it was possible to conduct the interview in a reasonably calm atmosphere. “We were talking about Don Padget,” reminded the Flash. “Well, he looks like the No. 1 man for the catching job, despite the fact he is an outfielder by trade. Mickey Owen. was a disappointment. last year. Couldn't hit. That's one thing Padgett can do, he can give that ball a ride. “How's he coming along? Well, it’s like'I was telling you the other night, the hardest ball for him to catch is the one that should be the easiest, It’s a ball right over the plate, letter high. = The perfect pitch, For some ‘reason Padgett blinks his eyes on this kind of a ball, like a man facing a flashlight bulb, but he manages to hold onto it, and, ‘ generally speaking, he’s. making a go of the job.” The Cards are expected. to. be stern contenders in the National League race. The Tigers are booked to play a similar role in the American League. Both clubs will be banking on made-over catchers. , It is plain that Padgett is far from | perfect as yet; the same is known to be. true of Rudy York, the converted infielder, who is. the top man behind the bat for the Tigers.

York hasn't, learned to shift his |

feet. Diz Back in Form

‘If the Cards and the Tigers are to go places this year their daring catching experiments must click for them. Few clebs have stayed up there without a competent, hardhitting catcher. It isn’t impossible to transform a player into a catcher. It has been done before, and both Padgett and York seem to have good possibilities. : Dizzy Dean is back in his old time form. Paul Dean is through, You can take this from the flash himself. .. . “Diz is still under the weather as the result of infected sinuses,” the Cards’ leader said, “but he has shown enough to con-

Applause To Fix Net Pros’ Style

Applause of spectat spectators will determine the style of play used by the New York Celtics and Jewell Young's All-Americans when they mieet in a pro basketball game at Butler Fieldhouse Monday. Most pro teams have continued the use of the center jump this year, although it was banned by collegiate rules. In some pro games, the jump was used one half and discarded the other half. With so many varfations employed, promoters of Monday's game decided to let the fans applaud before the game tor the yarious styles of play, using the style wk the most applause,

“Bush may turn out to be another Grover Cleveland Alexander for us,” said the Flash. “You know, an old timer, a sort of Santa Claus pitcher who comes along to give you some help you didn’t ewpect. He looks fine this spring. A knotty growth between two of his ribs handicapped him for seversl years: that’s completely gone now and he’s pitching as he did when he was with the Cubs. “Macon and Lanier may stick. They are apparently the best of the youngsters. Macon, a left hander, was in 45 games with Columbus last year. Won 21 and lost ‘12. Lanier, another left hander, is also from Columbus, where he was rated only a few degrees back of Macon in promise and potentialities.” | There's a story back of Lanier. The Cards wanted to send him to one of those Class D leagues where the pay is about $60 a month. This didn’t interest: Lanier. He was working in a Southern factory and. pitching for the baseball team.. His salary was $150 a month. : The Cards put him on the suspended list. You can do that in baseball if you are making $150 a

owns title to your services wanis to send you out at only $60 a month, you either - submit or go on the suspended list. Lanier went on the suspended list—which meant he couldn't do business with any other club in organized baseball. Connie Mack of the Athletics heard about it and made the Cards a proposition. The Cards decided if Lanier had that much promise they could use. him themselves. So that’s how the young man happens to be in the majors now. He's getting close to $600 than $60 a month now. But he owes Connie. Mack an assist. If“ Connie| hadn't tried to deal for him hed still be chucking ‘em over for that | factory team in the Carolinas.
