Those Red Birds do everything head tint except putting ' en their shoes. Lack ef condition had nothing te de with It' In fact the Cards started the season hi the best condition that any St Louis crab ever started. This was due to Southworth's training system, too lime guy-J had an idea), and Breadon gave him the green light Billy was convinced that ball clubs weren't using their time effectively in the spring, and he had outlined a plan whereby every . man was busy every minute he was on the field. And Southworth was the busiest of all, trotting around from group to group toting a huge clipboard so he would be sure no player missed his chance to bat or shag flies, or eat lunch. We have an Idea that Breadon admired Billy's initiative and hustle, and that he was sold on the training system.. In fact he told us himself after a couple of weeks at St. Petersburg that the players were farther along in their con ditioning than they ever had been. We don't think that anyone seriously doubted that South worth would be back next year. The real surprise came in the timing of the 1 announcement, and we cant help bat feel that the time was no accident The shrewd owner picked one of the club's blackest days to let it know that no matter what hap pened, he was satisfied with the performance of manager and play ers.
