don’t like to admit It.
Here is a letter from an ardent
Ozark country rooter:
“Why don't you fellows admit that
all the great ball players, of mod-
I ern time come from
| the Ozark country,
| where they can run
and throw? I mean
Arkansas, Missouri,
] Oklahoma and Tex
as?
I mean such
j fellows as Dean,
H u b b ell, P e p p e r
Martin, W arn ek e
and others.
Also
this Cardinal ball
club that whipped
the eastern Dodg-
p. Martin
ers and the eastern
Red Sox last year? We have the
legs and arms in this rugged coun
try that the East doesn’t have.”
In mingling and hanging around
with the Cardinals, one of our fa
vorite ball clubs, we began a slight
check-up.
In a vague way, we also had the
idea that this fast-running, hard-
throwing, hustling team was a prod
uct of the cottonwood trail, the coun
try where men have arms and legs
and take desperate chances. But
we ran across a different answer in
checking with the world’s cham
pions.
For example—there was Enos
Bradsher (“Country’’) Slaughter, a
hall player as typical of Cardinal
strength as any man you can find
—a ball player with a great arm
and a pair of fast-flying legs.
“Country” Slaughter should have
been a typical Ozarkian. But we
discovered that Slaughter cam e
from Roxboro, N. C„ and he got his
start in the South Atlantic league
with Columbus, Ga.
Well, what about George John
("Whitey” ) Kurowski, as good a
third baseman as you’ll m eet today?
“Whitey” Kurowski came from
Reading, Pa., playing with Ports
mouth in the Middle Atlantic league,
where he hit only .386.
Come From Everywhere
Marty Marion certainly must be
a member of the cottonwood trail.
But we find that Marty came from
Richburg, S. C., before moving to
Rochester for his baseball educa
tion.
Marty was with Rochester
three years before they decided he
could handle an infield rap.
But what about Stanley Frank Mu-
sial, possibly the best all-around ball
player in the game? Musial reports
from Donora, Pa., and almost his
entire early career was along the
Atlantic seaboard, until he cam e to
the Cardinals six years ago.
Terry Moore came up from Mem
phis, Howie Pollet from New Or
leans. Schoendienst worked in the
East. Johnny Beazley is from Ten
nessee. the city being Nashville.
The Ozark landscape certainly has
sent in its share of great ball play
ers. More than its share.
It is surprising how many fans
think of these hard-running, hard-
throwing, hard-fighting Cardinals as
a rather rough bunch from the
Ozark landscape. But this Cardinal
camp is one of the quietest and most
orderly I have seen. They are all
well-dressed, well-behaved, rather
soft-voiced and always friendly.

juice of 1 Sunkist Lemon in a glass ol

Taken first thing in the morning,
this wholesome drink stimulates bowel
action in a natural way-assures most
people of prompt, normal elimination.
Why not change to this healthful
habit? Lemon and water is good for
you. Lemons are among the richest
sources of vitamin C, which combats
fatigue, helps you resist colds and
infections. They also supply Bi and P.
They alkalinize, aid appetite and
digestion. Lemon and water has a
fresh tang, too-clears the mouth,
wakes you up!
Try this grand wake-up drink 10
mornings. See if it doesn’t help you!
Use California Sunkist Lemons.
I still miss my old tobacco-chew

wash down a big hunk of tobacco
with a bottle of beer. Lon, from ;
Mt. Ida, Ark., held the all-around,
tobacco-chewing championship. He
has no successor on the Cardinals
today.
The Cardinals’ manager. Eddie
Dyer, is probably best described as
the exact opposite of Leo Durocher,
his hottest rival, another great man
ager. Dyer is a graduate of Rice
institute in Texas, one of the lead- j
ing institutions of learning in this
country. The rumor is that he was
a Phi Beta Kappa. He was also a
