Card Boss Wants Smith To Take Over
ST. PETERSBURG Fla Manager Fred Hutchinson of the St. Louis Cardinals says he wants catcher Hal Smith to be a take charge type of player this season. Smith, 5 10 200 pounds, is not a loud personality but he told reporters he will be what the team wants. He quit six years ago over pay, but in two seasons with the Cardinals he has hit .282 and .279. Smith is set to be the No 1 catcher this year, capable of stronger hitting than Hobie Landrith, though Hutchinson would like to see more fire.
