"[continued from title] in the initial inning of the first game yesterday at Sportsmans Park, when the Cardinals tangled with the Pittsburgh Pirates in their Decoration Day double-header. On the play Nippy Jones, Red Bird first sacker, has just caught Ralph Kiner's (running towards first) pop fly, while George Metkovich lunges back to safety and the initial sack as Cardinal Hurler Joe Presko (21) runs by the bag. The Pirate coach is Bill Posedel and the umpire is Dusty Boggess."
"In spite of inclement weather Monday, a number of ballplayers attended their fitness class Monday at St. Louis University and all 'graduated with honors.'

"The Cardinals baseball caravan left Monday on the first leg of its Illinois-Missouri tour. The entourage stopped Monday noon at Columbia, Mo., for a luncheon meeting with the Optimist Club and then journeyed to Jefferson City for dinner with the Optimist Club. Members of the party were (in front, left to right) publicity director James (Mozart) Toomey, manager Johnny Keane, ticket manager Nat Hall, outfielder Charley James, radio announcer Harry Caray, and promotion director Joe McShane. Standing are (left to right) general manager Bing Devine, scouts Joe Monahan and Ollie Vanek, and coach Red Schoendienst."
"At least that's what Frank Crespi (right), reserve infielder on the 1942 Cardinal team which won the world's series from the Yankees, appears to be telling his one-time teammates during the get-together for the Old-Timers game here Sunday. The others are, from left, Howard Krist, Coaker Triplett, Whitey Kurowski and Harry Walker. Walker is a Cardinal coach now and Kurowski manages the Tulsa
"Coach Harry Walker of the Cardinals tends the fire as players try to warm up before Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds at Busch Stadium. From left, pitcher Bob Miller warms his glove, coach Darrell Johnson tries to defrost his feet and pitcher Mickey McDermott tries to get some warmth on his hand. The Cards survived the 40-degree temperatures, however, with a 5-3 victory."
"Newcomers to the Red Birds, who open the National League season Tuesday night at Busch Stadium against the New York Mets, are (from the left) pitcher John Anderson, shortstop Julio Gotay, outfielders Minnie Minoso and Doug Clemens, pitchers Paul Toth, Ray Washburn and Bobby Locke. Locke joined the Cardinals Monday, coming to them from the Chicago Cubs in a trade for a minor-league outfielder and cash."
"Cardinal manager Johnny Keane holds a clubhouse meeting at the Birds' spring training base at St. Petersburg, Fla. The new uniform style for this year which carries the name of each player on his back, is in vogue for the practice sessions."

"[continued from title] for the Cubs in the second inning of yesterdays twin-bill opener with the Cardinals at Sportsmans Park. Catcher Harry Chiti (No. 32) and Third Baseman Ransom Jackson (No. 2) of Chicago both streaked dangerously near the Cardinal dugout in pursuit of a foul fly off the bat of Stan Musial, but the ball fell for a strike before Musial forced Red Schoendienst at second base on
"Pitcher Tom Poholsky tags out home plate bandit Willie Jones for the last out in the fifth inning of the Cards' game with the Phils last night at Sportsmans Park. Jones attempted the steal after Poholsky made a bad throw to Catcher Bill Sarni. Poholsky covered the scoring dish and thwarted the theft."
"Peanuts Lowrey was on his way to scoring a run in easy fashion for the Cardinals yesterday when, surprise of surprises, who should get in the way but Umpire Art Gore. As may be seen, Umpire Gore was upset no end. Lowrey, fortunately for everyone's peace of mind, was able to squirm around and touch the plate before the Reds' catcher touched him. If Lowrey had been out at home because of the ump's interference, it would have brought on some soul-searching, impromptu legislation, as such road-blocks aren't provided for in the book."
"'...And your opinion doesn't matter.' Umpire Lon Warneke assured the Cards' Red Schoendienst that Whitey Lockman indeed was safe at second. That's Lockman looking ready to play Tarzan at the upper right. The arm and leg at left belongs to the Cards' Stan Rojek. Appearances are deceiving. Rojek really wasn't trying to pick up Warneke and make a forward pass with him."
"[continued from title] for the return throw to First Baseman Eddie Waitkus is Shortstop Granville Hamner, after he had taken the former's throw to force out Stan Rojek at second base Sunday at Sportsmans Park during the Cards-Phillie game.
