fn the last twenty years. He has kept
statistics on his rounds, which num

fir Alan Gopkl
Associated Press Sports Editor! ,
It's the custom with the winners
and those sitting on top of the sports
wcrid to be well satisfied with things
zs they are. but I understand Sam
uel Breadon, the er;ergeti president
of the St. Louis Cardinals, National
t league champions, wielded much in
f fluence in the decision to extract
j seme of the )ack-rabblt Juice from
! the big league baseball for 1931.
t 3ifr. Breadon always has been among
the "progressives ' in the council of
magnates. He and his partner.
Branch Rickey, were the first to de-!
velop "chain-store" baseball on a i
grand scale, with a system that has 1
produced a steady flow of talent for ;
the Cardinals and substantial profits
. for the parent concern. j
The Cards have their sluggers, but j
the club, in winning three pennants i
in five years, has not neglected the :
more scientific features of the baxne. I
The team captain. Ftisch, is one of ;
the best base-runners in the game. '
So is Taylor Douthlt, the fleet out- i
fielder. Charley Gelbert, the young ;
shortstop, has the makings of an- j
other lice base -runner. Cardinal '
pitching has had as much as any- j
thing to do with the team's sue-;
cesses under the .leadership of such
men as Homsby, UcKechnie and ;
t Street. ,
I encountered the affable Mr. Chick
Evans unexpectedly and without any
advance notice in the big wciety gal
lery following the Hicks-Van Wie
final to the Florida Women's golf
championship at Palm Beach.
The way these girls socked the big
ger and lighter golf ball was some-'
what astounding to the former na-1
iic'nal champion, who admitted he
was watching a woman's tournament
match for the first time.
"It s astonishing the way women
have Improved in this game. Evans
said. "I can remember when we
utushed at the idea of a woman
driving 200 yards or beating men's
par. These girls could beat a lot of
men who think they know how to
play the old game"
Chick is an "eld man" as com-'
petitive toilers go now. It is fif-;
teen years since he was amateur and 1
open champion of the United States. ;
But he doesn't look it and he ex- '
pects to paly tn the open at Toledo t
litis year as well as the amateur at ;
Chicago, his home town.
Georgia has contributed pretty
fair share ot the south' reeding en-u-te
tn sport. Consequently now .

fht game. ,
But just the same there have been
no fouls in New York state for oyer
a year now and in all that time i
there have been only two genuin f
claims of foul. In one Instance (
iaw tee iouiea uitLiicj, icj arieton
a British featherweight, rise 4ter
.pretesting bitterly that he had been
' iloored by Jimmy Slavic's low blows
and then come on to win a draw in
a fight he had been losing up to
that time. He fought harder after
the fouls and he fought better.
The ether claim was made by Nick
Testa, a middleweight in the Garden,
and he stayed down and took a
knockout when the referee could do
nothing about It. Testo probably
was done an injustice because he
obviously was hit low. -
But where one man suffered the
faithful have gained tremendously
, m the hundreds of matches that
have been staged since the .rule was
passed. Until the solons took, their
