Cardinals Face Star Losses as Army Calls Up Players
Branch Rickey says the Cardinals are well fortified but must replace two stars Enos Slaughter and Terry Moore who joined the Army. Slaughter batted .318 and Moore .288 last season while Musial anchors a strong outfield. Many players are marrying or entering service, affecting positions from second base to outfield. The club hopes prospects like Blix Donnelly and George Dockins, plus a deep pitching staff, fill gaps as Beazley’s loss is noted.
