(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—The decision
of Manager Hendricks and President
Rickey of the Cardinals to keep Roger
Hornsby, their brilliant young short
stop, regardless of the heavy rolls of
money offered in return for him, is a
commendable start in big league com
pany for Hendricks.
Just why it always should be con
sidered necessary for New York and
other more prosperous clubs to win
penannts with material not developed
by themselves is one of the baseball
mysteries that still is awaiting an ex
planation. John McGraw purchased
his last pennant and then showed
he isn't such a whale of a manager
by losing the world's^ series. Charley
Weeghman is now trying to buy a
flag.
Hornsby is one of the star youths of
the game. Miller Huggins dug him
up for St. Louis and to St. Louis he
belongs. If Rickey or Hendricks
should decide to dispose of him St.
Louis fans would be rightfully indig
nant about it.
By laying aside the idealistic prin
cipal of the thing it is a certain thing
that Hornsby or some other fine in
fielder is all now wanting to turn the
Cubs into a pennant machine. They
may have the necessary man on the
way in the person of young Hollocher,
shortstop, a graduate of the same
__
school which produced Bancroft and
a few other luminaries. It might he
a great mistake for Weeghman to be
flirting with big league infielders when
he has such a promising youngster on
the way. Obviously, an unspoiled ath
lete, ready to listen to the Mitchell
idea of ball playing, he would fit in
more nicely with the Cubs than some
player already schooled and possessed
of set notions.
Mitchell and Weeghman now have
the basis for a pennant winner. With
out further tinkering the club will
make a tremendous fight, but it does
not look good enough to win without
additions. The club is sadly in need
of a third baseman and a first base
man. Fred Merkle, a splendid ball
player, nevertheless is growing old in
the harness and can’t have an overly
lot of good baseball left in his system.
Charley Deal does not measure up to
the accepted standard of big league
third basemen. There was a gap at
shortstop, but this may be plugged up
when Holloeher joins the club. No
one doubts that Pete Kilduff is capa
ble of filling at second base. Kilduff
as a matter of fact represents one
of John McGrawr’s greatest mistakes.
He already is a star. Trades involving
him would be mistakes for Weeghman,
so there is little use of considering
an exchange with the little infielder
involved.
The Cubs last year played smart
baseball under Fred Mitchell's tute
lage. If they play that kind of base
ball next season with their new array
of talent it is probable they will make
the dust thick for at least six pursu
ing clubs.
