REDS NOW HAVE SHOW.
For First Time Cincinnati Club
Picked as Winner.
Joe Tinker Will Strengthen lnfield
Where 1t. Was Weakest-Good Haul
Made When Beals Becker Was
Secured From New York.

Cincinnati, for the first time In
tender for the National league base
call championship. Its selection is
due to its having a new and versatile
manager in Joe Tinker, formerly OF
the Cubs. Cincinnati is said to have
had a missing link in its lineup ever
since Tommy Corcoran left the team
in 1906. Corcoran played short and
the ex-Cub is now expected to supply
the missing link that has kept the
Reds from winning a pennant.
It is generally conceded that with
Tinker at short the Reds will be at
least so per cent. better than last
year, when they put up a remarkable
fight. Baseball men in President
Lynch's organization say the club
would have finished better, and poss1-
bly, would have won a flag, if Garry
Hermann had had an infielder of
Thinkers caliber. They expect the for
mer Cub to place the club in the
thick of the battle with Chicago, New
York and Pittsburg. Their contention
is that he has men who a hit the
ball with any other set in the organi-
cation, who a field as we'll, and
who have the speed: If he can OBJ
tain better than fair pitching, it is
thought he will give the first division
teams a lot of worry. ri, ~
Tinker's infeld, taken at a glance,
is not the worst in the league. It was
only mediocre last season., and In
spite Of that did remarkably We'll.
Thinkers presence will make it n of
the fastest in the league. No club
in the organization, except Brooklyn,
can boast of a better first baseman
than Hoblitzell. His true ability has
not been brought out yet, but it will
be with Tinker at the helm. Egan is
a. sterling second baseman, but was
handicapped by not having an expert
enced shortstop to help him. Assist
ing Tinker at Second, Egan is expect
ed to be a wonder.
The right side of Tinker's infeld
and half of the left a be compared
with any of the other seven teams.
Third base is a perpelxing problem
for the new manager. He has a COM
petent man in Eddie Grant, but the
latter has lost much of his agrees
%siveness and hitting strength. It is
thought, however, with Tinker at
short Grant will play as he did with
the Phillies. Should he do so, Tinker
will have a good infield. He has fair
utility men in Esmond and Mcdonald.
Thinkers duties are light when it
comes to choosing men to play the
outfield positions, although he did lose
a good man in Mitchell. Some say the
Reds will profit by the Mitchell trade.
He had been with the Reds so long
that he lost his enthusiasm. Marsans,

Joe Wood, the pitching star Of the

Sox to slip anything over on him like
they did last season.
