They'll have to come down off their-National league throne this (season and make way for the Stv Louis Cardinalsa Car-dinalsa frisky, swashbuckling gang imbued with "they can't lick us" spirit. -; . The Cards still think they had the best ball club last season when they trailed the Dodgers 2 games despite a season-long injury in-jury jinx which deprived them of their full strength for all of but five cays of the season. St. Louis ha a better ball club this season. It has speed, 'pitching, balance and strong reserve strength. If the Cardinals have any weak ness, it's a lack of long distance punch. But to mane "up ior we less of Mize and Padgett, the Cards have added speed and con sistency to their attack. . They have six potential .300 hitters in their batting order.- The Cards never won a pennant with Mize playing first, and insiders think that they'll be better off without him. The Cards will open up with two rockies m the regular lineup Stan Musial in lett field ana Ray Sanders at first. If either f au J, Johnny Hopp, vrho nit .303 last year, will take over. Good Keystone Combination The tipoff on the strength of the Cards is the fact that they may be able to. keep a man as fast and able as Hopp on the bench.. The Cards' infield is high class reeardless of who plays first. Crespi and Marion, with a year's experience unaer weir uetis, may be the ; league's best key- The Cards' main strength HeS in their pitching. It is not only good but it's deep. Cooper, War-neke, War-neke, White, Lanier, Pollet, Gum-bert, Gum-bert, Lohrman, Shoun and Krist represent one of the best all-round all-round pitching staffs in baseball. With five lefties on their staff, the Cards have the- best southpaw group. Righthander Mort Cooper, who had to take time out for an arm operation last season, is the man to watch. He looks like a sure 20-eame winner. Brooklyn ' may not be able to have second place. The Reds, who slumped from world's champs In 1940 to third last season, are likely like-ly to hit the comeback trail and finish second. Cincinnati's pitching still must be rated baseball's best. Walters, Derringer, Vander Meer, Riddle, Thompson, Moore and the surprise veteran-rookies Starr, put the Reds up close. The Dodgers will be far from pushovers but already their good, luck, charm seems to have deserted desert-ed then Dolf Camilli and Billy Herman have just been treated at Johns Hopkins hospital for ailing backs. Pete Reiser, Nations? league batting champion, has been reclassified 1-A. Even partial loss of any one of these key men would hurt the Dodgers plenty. The - addition of Arky Vaughn from the firates to ptay third nas added more kick to the Dodger attack. However, Joe Medwick's apparent decline may offset the advantage gained by Vaughn's presence.

The Yankees are quoted at 2-5 and the Boston Red Sox are second sec-ond choices in the American league at 5-l, with the Chicago White Sox picked third at odds of 6 to 1.

Following a talk at the annual convention of the Utah Cattle and Horse Growers association, An derson was accused of favoring cattlemen in ridding the range of big game which have been alleged of being in competition with herds of cattle and sheep on the range. "Nothing, could be further from the truth," Anderson said, "we have had a problem In the Salt Lake area as well ffs other places because deer are 'numerous and are - being driven into cultivated areas through lack of range food. Some of our winter ranges are overstocked with deer, that is why we propose special hunts and may open some of our outmoded refuges. But we are not doing this because deer are in competition competi-tion with cattle. The special hunt that we are planning for the area directly east of Salt Lake City is on a deer range where there are neither sheep nor cattle.

"We do not consider a deer hunt a 'sacrifice.' It is a - sport. We are going to take a lot of deer in Utah again this fall, but it will not be a sacrifice of deer for beef. "These surplus deer will be taken primarily to benefit the deer and deer ranges and to provide pro-vide wholesome outdoor recreation recrea-tion for 60,000 hunters. We would be taking these deer if there was not a range cow in the state. We could kill every deer in the state and it would result in but little benefit to the cattle interests. We hunt deer because we enjoy hunt-: ing deer. If it benefits cattle interests, in-terests, that is incidental.

'X' Master's Golf Joust AUGUSTA, Ga., April 10 U.E Paul Runyan, a little fellow who doesn't drive very far but is dead' ly accurate with his irons and can hardly miss a putt, goes out today to prove to the big fellows that his opening round 67 In the Mas ters golf tournament was not just a streak of luck.

But although Smith said he had no hopes of winning his third Masters title he won it in 1931 and 1936 Runyan was not so modest. "I don't see why I shouldn't should-n't keep hitting them well," he .said. "And its about time for me to win something." Runyan's putting yesterday was uncanny and it accounted for his sub-par score. Par generally didn't mean much in the opening round, nine in the field of 43 besting the regulation 72 while four others, including defending de-fending Champion Craig Wood, shot even par.
