In spite of the fact that several St Louis pennants have been won by mad drives down the home So-a- r I d stretch, they seemed to fee) that they never uld be so sadly overtaken, as were the Giants and Cubs of other too recent seasons. So they were caught improperly arrayed for meeting visitors who sneaked upon them just as upon the Giants of a season back. There are several reasons why the Cards still may be fortunate in the pennant chase. One of them is that the Giants started their spurt early and from very far ba,k and so may be halted by the law of averages. Another is that there are men, especially pitchers, who can quickly be brought in from the farms, If Brradon and Rickey decide to risk a minor league pen- Bn fsr the sske of big time sae cess. 1 he third, and protably best, reason is that the Cards are a set of husky, athletes. Only the Yankees, formed out of n very similar mold, base previously seemed able to recover as quickly from adversity. That ability to rise above defeat is more important in a Bag chase. In fact, no team without this quality ever won a pennant. Success in baseball often is almost entirely n matter of spirit. When the Braves came from the bottom to accomplish their 1914 miracle, they scarcely believed what was happening until almost at the finish. Then, when the going might have been tough, they were sustained by the conviction that, no matter how good opponents might seem to be, their own luck was considerably better. So they feit they had nothing to worry about and devoted their best efforts to playing baseball.
