O'Grodowski Seen as Cardials 1936 Hope at Catcher
United Press reports from St Louis outline Brusie O'Grodowski of Columbus as the Cardinals’ key catching prospect for 1936 amid Bill DeLancey’s serious illness. DeLancey, ill with pleurisy and effusions, has been in hospital since October and his return is uncertain. Branch Rickey favors developing O'Grodowski into a star, while noting DeLancey’s possible absence changes plans and may force continued use of other players. The piece recalls past injuries to Charley Gelbert and Lyle Judy and notes the recent loss of Texan Wesley Henkhaus in a car accident as a season-won’t-forget winter for the team.
