"Two question-marked departments of the Cards and Browns this spring are shown in these photos. At the top are candidates for infield positions on Manager Ray Blades' squad. From the left:" Lynn Myers, Jimmy Brown, Johnny Hopp, Stu Martin, Joe Orengo, Maurice Sturdy, Martin Marion, and Johnny Mize. "Of the group, only Mize is certain of his position, though Gutteridge has the inside track at the hot corner. Below is what is called the slugging department of Fred Haney's Browns. However, the quartet - from the left, Harlond Clift, Myril Hoag, George McQuinn and Beau Bell - has been ineffective at the plate so far, except for McQuinn, who has hit consistently and hard. These aren't the only doubtful departments of the two clubs, for the Browns' pitching looms as quite dubious, as does the Cards' catching. The Browns' photo was taken at San Antonio, the Cards' at St. Petersburg."
