Marvin Goodwin should be able tto handle,, his game. j f " ", 'Then there are Bill Sheidell; Jake May, and Elmer Jacobs of the- older set," who know enough about pitching to go along in the big leagues, and I feel sure of a great deal of help from Jess Haines, who wen twenty-five games and lost five for Kansas City .last year, and "Walter Schulz,;a young ster whom 1 picked off the St. Louis semi-pros. He beat us last year In an exhibition game at Mount Vernonr and he can beat anybody .with .pitching such as he showed us that dayl..' f Bone In the Outfield. ..-'.. "With all that I caa't help' "but feel somewhat optimistic tbout my pitch ing staff. I have outfielders who make mistakes. They throw , to the wrong hases arM sometimes do a lot of other things that -you wouldn't think pos sible by big leaguers, but ; there is hope nd they'll still learn. .You know if you just keep on telling a fellow the rigl-t thing when he's done It wrong nineteen times, there's "a possi bility tl at he'll do it right s the .twen tieth time." .; Rickey would like to make a trade that would give him . either a high class pitcher or a high class catcher one who could help his present pitch ing staff but it looks as if no such deal could be made. The Giants wojjld like to have Milton Stock, and Rickey would give them Stock, but only for some stars. He said they "could . have him for. Outfielder .George .JBurns. Catcher Smith and some, young- In fielder. That makes a deal practically impossible. . : -; .

Harold Janvrln. who trailed with the Red Sox several sea sons,' Is liere and going in better etyle than ever. t Jinx McLoughlin and Ray Blades are two - St. Louis semi-pro with speed but little experience. Slagging Rookies Seek Jobs. -Shotton, Heathcote, McHenry . and Jack Smith are the outfielder f -r- perience. Joe Schultz, also a veteran hay hold . on csutility man, while two youngsters, Ed ; Bogart and Lloyd Silcott, aspire for Jabs. ; The former hit over .300 Jn the Canadian league last year, and was credited with twenty-two homers. . - :- While Shotton - handles " the Job" of chief assistant to Rickev. boss also carried old Joe Sugden as coach. Joe, . however, i devotes most of his time to the job of teaching the pitchers the tricks of baseball. Charley Barrett. - ecout of the team, also is helping In the work at camp. - Rickey, has the . most, picturesque and unique, training; camp I .ever vis ited. Being on the Mexican border, the, boys have 'to know a bit of Span- is..- io oraer nam and eggs and get what they order. -After they have learned a bit of the talk, they can go over to Mataraoros, on the other side of the Rio Giande, and enjoy for one dollar a dinner ' consisting! of jack snipe, quail, on toast and a vension steak, with all the necessary side things, to make such a ''dinner com p.ete. .In ' Chicago. - one ' couldn't get such a .feed, but if he could it would cost about eight dollars. Camp Rnn on Army Discipline Rickey's method of runnlne a train. ing camp makes a fellow think he's in the army." At 6:30 a. m' comes the call. Over, at Fort Brown, two blocks from the . hotel, -one can hear the bugle, call fifteen mlnutes later. Evkn the sol diers don't get up o early. -.The Cards eafat;, the- Rotary club, where a special trailing table is pro vided, .. Immediately: after breakfast, they - group themselves in front of a desk , and Rickey presides in a meet ing: pf on hour,, during- which, base ball things are discussed and lectured onv'just as if it were a class in-college, -'rora; 8:30 .to .9:30 a. m: the athletes are- at liberty, but . at 9 :80 they are dressed for a session at the parade grounds of the fort,. v - There Rickey gives special wor, maybe- i ne day to a - trio or Quartet of pitchers on fielding - bunts or hold ing base runners on the bags,, maybe another, day to a set of outfielders ana Innelders on sliding to bases, maybe another day an hour of work hy the innelders ojiv drill to , break up the double - steal. , .' i ' -.. This is followed by the n regular ses sions of batting and fielding practice. There Is a. two .hour rest at noon, then a long afternoon of work, usually winding up with a nine inning game between two picked .teams.
