Cards Are Back With Infield Intact, Plenty of Pitching, Typical Team Play and Spirit Now Cronin Has Some Pitchers, Medford, Mass, (ff) After masterminding his Baton Red Sox into first division berths for the last five seasons with some of the most erratic pitching staffs in the cent baseball history. Mgr. Jde Cronin appears destined to come up with a finely balanced eat of chuckers tola year. But, unfortunately, he cant see much of anything else to gloat about on his rater. When such seasoned pitchers as Tex Hugh son, who had.

22 wins against 6 losses in 1942, Joe Dobson, Ken Chase, Dick New-some, Mace Brown and the most durable Mike Ryba checked in yesterday at the Tufts college age, and Oscar Judd indicated he would be along shortly, Cronin admitted that his staff could bast of at least one more dependable pitcher than any other in the American league. When I had Ted Williams, Dom DiMaggio, Lou Finney and Johnny Pesky taking the bat possible care of our hitting, I wee crying fa 9-inning pitchers. Now tost I appear to have the pitching I lacked, I havent any sluggers," Cronin lamented. To replace such super-outfielders as the amazing Williams, tha sensational DiMaggio and toe dependable Finney would be almost a super-human task in normal times. Just now all Cronin knows about hi outfield ia that it must ha built around the Pete Fox, tha only fly-catching holdover from 1941 The Red Sox have obtained the 40-year-old A1 Simmons, a prodigious lugger in his heyday, and such minor league prospects as Ford Garrison from Fort Worth, Tom McBride from Little Rock and Johnny Lazor from the Louisville farm.

All of those rookia wen highly recommended by eminent baseball authorities but each of them must make good in a sensational manner to keep the Sockets pennant contendere. I rolls of hog wire for a hog paa-tura. Markets Hogs David Rakes, R. 1 Altamont, marketed 10 fine red hogs at the stockyards last week which were a part of 19 pigs from two litters. Mr.

pre-flight school, forma California school teacher, sets a world record in the pole vault by daring 15 feet 8ft inches during tha Chicago relays before 14,000 cheering spectators. It bettered his indoa record of 15 feet 7ft incha and his outdoa record of 15 feet 7ft inches. He is the only man ever to clear more than 15 feet in the event White Sox Get Some Dry Land French Lick, Ind. UP Tha White Sox were happy today, holding their first outdoor practices on a newly discovered patch of dry terrain in the highlands, and tha Cubs also appeared high and dry left there by Lou (No Dal) Novikoff. Jim Dykes, Sox manager, sent his charges onto an aid acre which adjoins an old eireus barn, where wild baste and monkeys onca were wintered.

The new site ia called "monkey field." Manwhile, the Cubs were cavorting on the 14th fairway of a golf course, and their followers were getting exercise by jumping at conclusions. The general conclusion ia that Novikoff ia a holdout. But that naughty word ia only whispered, fa Gen. Mgr. Jim Gallagher ia carrying on a campaign to make it obsolete fa the duration of the war.

He says in Chicago that tha Mad Russian is an absentee, and merely pretends it is a game sending Novikoff contracts in California and watching for tha return mail to aa if they boomerang unfigrted. Word from Long Beach told of Novikoff, who talked .400 and batted .300 for the Cubs last season, flicking aside two $6,000 contra eta as if they were cigar asha. He admitted he was a holdout, $10,000 worth, if you please, and that ha would rather continue waking in the ihipyerds than play fa $6,000. Armstrong on Way Up Again Philadelphia (A) Henry Armstrong proved last night he ia the man of 1,000 punches in whipping tough A1 Tribusni, of Wilmington, before howling crowd of 12,633 paid customers at Convention halL Making hia first eutern appearance on a comeback trail that now lads to New Yak's Madison square garden, Hammerin Henry threw dose to 100 puncha round in gaining an unanimous 10-round decision over the game Tribuani.

Although his flailing arms had the Wilmington youth on the verge of a knockout in the 3rd, 5th end 10th, Armstrong, a 8 to 1 favorite, admitted afterwards it wu a tough fight I wu fighting a superman because hes ambitious and a win over me would have put him right up there, Henry uid.

Alim points out that pro bas-ixetball will flourish because of the certain low quality of col-foge basketball immediately after the conflict and because it la a high scoring game. Although hockey is fast, it is primarily defensive and not entertaining enough for large crowds. Hockey Sbo is out of the question for under 100,000 and few of them can make it pay.

And whereas the average American youth of a generation ago always wu familiar with baseball many of them now parent. However, all are familiar with basketball and the younger generation knows its fine points it even if the older dou not. Most important of all, basket- ball finally has become an inde-pendently financed sport. Until I the last two or three years it never paid its way in college. Now helps support the football pro-gram of which it once lived in Burly all colleges.

The Red Birds tell you they are a kick in the pants to repeat as world but they wont play it that way.

Few dube exemplified teamwork to the extent of the 1942 Cardinals, and the current edition retains the spirit of the old Gas-House Gang. The phenomenal drive of last year's Red Birds overtook and passed the Brooklyns by two pmes, with the third-place New Yak Giants 18 gama hack. Despite the lorn of Johnny Beazley, Terry Moore, Country Slaughter, Creepy Crespi end probably Howard Pollet, the blokea in the red blazers perhaps have been less effected by the war than any other big league outfit And without Pete Reiser and Pee Wee Reese, the Dodgers are little more than a group of old gentlemen. The army excused Whitey Ku-rowski because of osteomyelitis in the Wald Seria homerun hero's arm, so the infield is intact. So is the catching, and there ia more pitching than you could shake a slick at.

Moore Wasn't Missed The polished Moore scarcely waa missed when Harry Walker patrolled renter field and swung tor him last trip. Holdout Harry will be along to be flanked by Stan Musial and Coaker Triplett. Provided Ray Sanders can stand the rigors of National League first basing, Johnny Hopp will be more than acceptable in centerfield.
