Cardinals Edge Toward Contenders After Rough Start
The article reviews the 1940 season outlook for the St. Louis Cardinals with Eddie Dyer optimistic about Red Munger and Jim Hearn, noting Musial Pollet and Dickson faced health and form issues early. It contrasts their age with still strong players like Slaughter and Moore, and argues two to three key reinforcements could push them past Dodgers and Braves. It also surveys historic heavyweight bouts, ranking Dempsey-Firpo and Corbett-Jeffries as peak battles and tracing later bouts and boxers’ patterns through eras.
