NEW YORK. May 9.—Every
year since 1936. when the Cards
swept through to the world's cham
pionship^ some individual has blos
somed out to make that club a flag
threat.
In 1926 it was Flint Rhem; in
1927 it was Grover Cleveland Alex
ander and It was Jess Haines in
1928.
Who the big shot will be In 1929 Is
just a matter of guessing, but one
man receiving a lot of advance votes
is • Chick” Hafey.
A newly fitted pair of glasses
which has enabled “Chick” to get
a quick bead on the ball is the rea
son the 2«-year-old outfielder Is
drawing favorable comment.
It's a case of reasoning that If a
man can whack the ball at a 330
clip with his plain eyes, he should!
be able to rap it harder with the i
help of strengthening spectacles.
“Chick's' eyes, so he says, both*'
ered him throughout the 1927 and ;
1928 seasons, yet he batted .330 in
the former year and .337 in the lat-I
ter.
After a full winter of treatment, j
“Chick" has shot Into the 1929 sea- \
son with a keen eye for the ball. He
clouted hard all during spring train
ing and then broke up the season's
opener by driving in four of the
five rum scored by the Cardinals in
their curtain-raising victory.
“Chick" probably is the first ma
jor league outfielder to wear spec
tacles and is one of a mighty few
big leaguers sporting cheaters on
the playing field. Lee Meadows
