Blades Sees Cardinal Year If Infield Clicks For 1939
Baseball columnist Harry Grayson notes a powerful St. Louis lineup with Johnny Mize at first and Jimmy Brown versatile in infield spots. He sees two infielders, Stuart Martin and Marvin Marion, as pivotal return to form possible, plus strong support from outfielders Medwick Slaughter Moore and Owen. If infield defense improves, the Cardinals could challenge the Reds and contend for the pennant in 1939.

Training Camp Finds Lombardi Working Hard
Tampa Fla March 8 Ernie Lombardi the Cincinnati catcher trains in camp and works like a rookie in two intercamp games including a 12 inning effort. A teammate says he is two weeks ahead of last spring and could hit .320. Lombardi, NL batting champion in 1938 with .342 and MVP, slumped to .286 last season. Also Vander Meer shows signs of returning to 1938 form, which would boost Reds. Johnny fizzled in 1939, then bared a strong spring showing, pitching three innings with good arm, striking out Ival Goodman for the final out.
