"At top, Pepper Martin, the old Wild Horse, is shown making a clean steal of third base in the seventh inning [against the Cubs] with Third-Sacker Stan Hack distastefully reaching for the low throw. Two were out at the time, however, and Martin failed to score."
"Don Padgett of the St. Louis Cardinals, nominal batting leader of the National League in 1939, is showing a group of admiring students at Joe Stripp's baseball school here how to catch and hit. At top Padgett is demonstrating the results of knowledge he has gained since 1938, when he was an outfielder."
"Manager Ray Blades advising rookie pitchers on correct delivery at the Cards Camp here recently. Left to right: Ray Blades, Murry Dickson, Elwin Roe, Ernest White, and Frank Barrett."
"Among the early arrivals in the Cardinals camp were Mort Cooper, left, and Curt Davis, two of the team's leading hurlers last season. Cooper was the National League's strikeout king, while Davis' record of 24 victories was one of the best in the circuit.

He doubled, went to third on Bill Werber's muff of the return throw and scored after Bob Bowman's fly to Ival Goodman in right. Catcher Ernie Lombardi, of World Series "snoozing" fame, aided the cause by dropping the throw to the plate, as seen here, but Hopp was in anyway and no error was charged. The umpire is Larry Goetz."
"Joe Medwick, booed and cheered on every trip to the plate in the Cards' first game with the Dodgers yesterday at Sportsmans Park, responded under pressure with a single, double, and homer and took part in both Brooklyn scoring bursts in their 3-to-1 victory. He is seen here driving out his homer, his second in two days, in the fourth inning. The catcher is Mickey Owen, and the umpire is Bill
"Joe Moore, veteran New York outfielder, is shown scoring on Harry Danning's fly ball to Right Fielder Enos Slaughter in the fifth inning of yesterday's game between the Cards and Giants at Sportsmans Park. The catcher is Don Padgett."
