The real truth of the matter is that Pa
had high hopes OF getting Aubrey back this
year, but the letter from Clark Griffith,
manager Of the Cincinnati Reds put all
hope aside. Griffith told Pa not TO expect
Chick, as he was making good. Every writer
with the team is boosting him. Pa relied
a good deal on the fact that Hoblttzell
made good last year and probably would
be given another chance. but Chic is also
making good and Griffith expects to keep
him.
This il what Jack Ryder. sporting editor
OF the Cincinnati Enquirer writes to his
paper concerning Aubrey:
''chick" Aubrey is n finished first base
man, so far as playing the bag goes. He
shifts his feet from one side of the bag TO
the other as we'll as any first baseman in
the business. Hobby is also going some this
spring and 1t will be a battle royal between
these lads for the final call, Aubrey has
the advantage OF being left handed, which
helps him in throwing to second, but
Hobby has a little on Chick in speed on his
feet. Go II. boys
Pat Raglan is also making good with the
Reds and Jack Ryder wires his paper
concerning him: II don't see how they
can keep Raglan off the regular staff"
Tn line up of the Omaha team looks
pretty rood to most of the fans, but OF
course, the real merit OF the team will
DEPEND in large measure how some OF these
new players show up and whether they will
come up to the advance notices which have
been sent out concerning them. The Omaha
team, fighting at all time last year at or
near tho top OF the HIST, has lost Ragan,
Aubrey and Austin. three OF Its mainstays
and II is up to Pa to find-men 10 replace
them. Pa thinks he has the material in
