Year after year, the Cardinals have come up with recruits who proved to be better than many well - known veteran stars. Breadon keeps his eyes on the kids. Their salaries are never too high, but St. Louis is far from being the hot test baseball town in tne country, so tar as attend ance figures show. Ton can understand Sam Bread on's enthusiasm when he figures that he has not only the best rookie of 1945, but one of the best of all time. All of the aforementioned is by way of leading up to a recent re mark made by Breadon as he watched Billy Southworth repdv his Cardinals for another National league campaign. Tne experts were saying that the Cards were a cinch I end that the all-time record of four straight 100-a-year victories was as good as in A1 Munro Elias's statis tics, but Breadon wasn't thinking about the Cards in general but of a ^ freckled-faced kid playing left field. Granitoid Rice 'tfetter Than NlusiaT "He's a better prospect right now than was Stan Musial when he re ported to us," remarked Breadon? I and a hall dozen reporters' pencils dug into note pads almost before Sam's words were dry in the hot St. Louis air. "Better than Musial? Say, wasn't that taking in a lot of territory?" "Well," Breadon hastened to re mark, "I mean he can do more things. He's a good inlielder; he can play the outfield as you now see. j We could use him at second, short, I third, left, center or right and stop worrying about any position be took over. He's as fast as they come and those minor league batting averages are no flukes. Watch him. He's the rookie of the year." And who was the target of all this tall praise? Well, you'll hear a lot about him this year?Albert (Red) Schoendienst, a typesetter's head ache but a manager's dream. Here's a player who has been headline bait ever since he walked into a ball park. Well, almost since that first day. The weight of num bers obscured his first trek to Sportsmen's Park for he was one of 300 or 400 kids invited in 1942 for a.tryout school. As a matter of fact, Schoendienst just walked in with a pal from Germantown, 111., and told the Cardinal scouts he would like to be a ball player. He was put through a series of tests? races, throwing contests, batting drills?and, after the scouts had pre pared a few notes on him he was excused and- told he could stay for the ball game that afternoon of June 18,1942. He returned home not know ing when he would be called again. Quickly Signed V p He didn't have to wait long. The Cardinals' Union City, Tenn. team in the Kitty league sent an SOS to the parent ball club and the St. Louis board of strategy, after a hurried meeting, decided to sign up the kid redhead. As I said, Sehoendienst was head line-happy from the start. He -seas batting .Ml when the league dis banded and finished the season with i Albany, Ga., where he hit .169. The spring of '43 found him at Ports month (Piedmont league) but when ' he opened the season with eight 1 straight hits be was rushed up to Rochester where Pepper Martin ' found him as enjoyable as an old i Western "gee-tab." Seboendienst re sumed his blasting in his new nni , form, finished the season with an average et .331, and was declared the league's most valuable player? an unusual honor for a rookie. After 25 games in 1944. in which he hit .313, be was called into the I army. 1 An old eye injury caused him to be discharged. In fact, his left eye is practically blind. But this is an era when men overcome handicaps such as these and Schoendienst did so by becoming a switch hitter. Now ? experts will tell you he packs more punch as a southpaw swatter than he does as a right-handed rap per, his original stance at the plate. Gordon or Doerr? One of the main arguments among war hospital partisans is the choice between Joe Gordon of the Yankees and Bobby Doerr of the Red Sox. Here's part of the answer?Gor- | dew's five-year batting average was .3*4 ? Doerr's seven year average was around 293. Gordon in Ms five years belted out 125 home runs while Doerr in his seven years Mt only (7 four-baggers. Gordon-also had a good lead la the matter of pretty wed matched offensively. Th* HOME TOWN REPORTER In Weuhington By WALTER A. SHEAD WNV Su? Correspondent Controversy on Tariffs WHO Washington Bureau ?31 Union Trust Building OITTER controversy over the age old tariff question now before the congress should be carefully ' watched by every farmer, every ousmess man, ev ery Industrialist and every worker in the nation ... for no matter from what standpoint the ques tion is viewed, the outcome is of vital concern to every one. This question? that of extending the Reciprocal Trade Agreements act for a period of three years and giving the President further author ity to reduce tariffs another 50 per cent?has developed into the hottest party fight to face the 79th congress. With Republicans generally agreed to oppose the extension of the act, the issue narrows down to three pos sible results: The act will be extended as pre sented to the congress or? It will be exte-ded in possibly some modified form, or? It will be defeated and the tar iff rates will revert to.those pro vided by the Smoot-Bawley law which were in effeet prior to the Reciprocal Trade Agreement ? act that became effective In 1934. It seems to this reporter, however, * that something more is involved in this fight for and against the Re ciprocal Trade act than a viewpoint on the question of high or low tar iffs. However you feel about tariffs, whether you are in favor of a high protective tariff, or whether you fa [ vor the reciprocal agreements, the I fact remains that during the past decade the principle of reciprocal trade agreements has become an essential and underlying basis of our \ foreign policy. xne enure oooa INeignnor policy in our relations with South and Cen tral American countries is based upon the elimination of trade bar riers and the reciprocal trade pro gram. And these agreements have, in the eyes of these South American neighbors, become the most tangible and abiding manifestation of wheth er the United States is indeed, a good neighbor. Language of the reciprocal trade act is written into the Bretton Woods international monetary agreements for operation of the monetary fund is expected to help "remove trade barriers in favor of open or re ciprocal trade agreements to provide free and open trade among member nations." Written Into Agreements. The principle of the reciprocal trade agreements 1% written into the Food and Agriculture Organiza tion of the United Nations for the removal of trade barriers, for the elimination of surpluses, to expand international world trade, to expand production and consumption and to raise the standard of living in all countries. The principle of these trade agreements is written into the Atlantic Charter and into the Dumbarton Oaks agreements of the United States, acclaimed as the ground structure for inter national peace now under con sideration at San Francisco. " The same principles are written into the Pan-American agreement j reached at the recent conference in Mexico City. 1 A 1__ at?> ?tit. ?_? ? /uwj ueg in wiui coasiacrauon 01 this most vital piece, of -legislation actually are the Bretton Woods agreements, also before the con gress, the extension of authority of the Export-Import Bank to finance United States Foreign Trade, and re peal of the Johnson act prohibiting loans to governments in default of their obligations to the U. S. So it is obvious that in the con sideration of this reciprocal trade extension there is involved the very world cooperation which is being sought at the San Francisco confer ence. And to this writer the issue looms much bigger, relatively than the mere party question of high or low tariffs. There is no question but that the reciprocal trade agreements now in force between this nation and 28 oth er nations have aided in developing mutual confidence and trust and world cooperation on a plane never heretofore attained. The question uppermost is, would abrogation of these agreements create serious mis givings on the part of these coun tries concerning our future relations at this time when the future peace of the world is at stake. Trade experts of every political faith agree that an expanding inter national trade is the key to many important postwar problems. If we are going to produce abundantly both on farms and factories, for benefit of both producers and con sumers, then there must be a con stantly increasing change of goods and services among nations. There can be no denying the fact that high tariffs do constitute trade barriers even if Walter Shead
