Cardinals Will Be Second RateClub This Year, Experts Think

Here are three of Jack Hendricks' young pitching hopes mi apped in action at the San An-tonio training camp by Staff PhoUigrapiicr itori.uui. May was with tin- chub for a wbjle last yearsml did fairly good work. Kotzelnick and Shcrdall arc newcomers in the league.

to be a collection of misfits andbuilt a formidable machine fromthem.

are Murchlson, from the BlueKidge league, Kotzelnick, Twom-ley and Earl Howard.

This year the Cardinals startthe season minus their fiery man-ager and one or two players, nowin the service.

The Cardinal catching staffwill be strong with Prank Snyderand Mike Gonzoles in tbe leadingroles.

The worst blow suffered bythe c lull was the enlistmentof Jack Miller, which taavr«n hole at first bane. Paul-e-tt.-. who has been up anddown severs! tinii-s will tryt.e plug this opening, but itis not likely he will make afiiiisln-d first baseman.The second base situation is-

well taken care of with Betzel onthe bag and Hornsby, a wonderfulbitter and inflelder, at F-hort.Early indications point to Doug-lass Baird as Hendricks' choicelor third.

Jack Smith, Walton Cruise andJ. Smyth probably will make upthe outfield. The Cardinals with

j Smith, Cruise and Hornsby shouldprove hard sledding for any pitch-er in the league and should beone of the leading hitting clubs ofthe circuit.

SBATTIiE, April 3. — MickyKing polished off another con-tender for his coast middleweighttitle last night, when he hadFighting Jimmy Darvy, one ofCalifornia's best, reeling in thefinal minutes of their four-roundgo at the Pool. Coming backafter lie had been sprawled by oneof Darcy's hard rights ln the earlyrounds, King proved further toSeattle ring fans that he is acracking good middleweight whenhe almost sent the Rumanian toslumberland. Short, snappyrights and lefts, delivered with aworld of power, won for the cham-pion an undisputed decision.

Darcy lived up to expectationsin that he forced the going fromthe start, and had a wicked blowin his right glove. Coming cutof a clinch ln the second round,the Rumanian caught King squareon the chin, and Micky went downfor the count of four. But thiswas the only time when Darcylocked like a winner. For the restof the distance King dancedaround his shorter opponent andpumped blows to the face andbody with excellent effect. Darcy-kept trying to land with bis right,and on several occasions narrowlymissed King's jaw. But while thechampion took a couple of wallopshe gave ten to every one, and inthe final round be had the visitorgroggy.
