Some Insane Sport Happenings of
the "Sane Fourth"

After seeing some of the swell
plays pulled by Marty Berghammer,
the Cincinnati shortstop, yesterday,
raft of bugs were deploring the
judgment Of Manager Evers in letting
the yOUngster go to the Reds. Berg
hammer made the spring trip with
the Cubs to Tampa, but was shunted
to Cincinnati, where he acts as Joe
Tinker's UndeTstUdy.
Those fans who were criticising
Evers seem to overlook the perform
ances of Al Bridwell, dispOrting him
self at short for the Cubs in just as
able a manner as Berghammer. They
see Al every day and only get
chance to lamp Marty on rare occa-
sions. BridweIl's playing is an &C
cepted fact, while Berghammer's i'm

closely.
Yesterday Berghammer handled

chances, and some Of them were
