CINCINNATI, Ohio. April 29.--No
team in the National league has given
its young players near SO many oppor-
tunities as Manager Herzog has ex-
tended the youngsters who were turn
ed over to him when he assumed con-
troll of the Reds last winter. Herzoz
takes it for granted that the old boys
on the team are about as good now as
they we're last season, and so he does
not put everything up to them.
What he wants to know Is how the
youngsters are going to behave in a
pinch-and that is a question that can
not be answered by keeping the re-
cruits on the bench, as SO many Of the
teams former managers have done in
the past
And so, whenever the opportunity
offers, however slight, to shoot one
Of the rockies into the lineup, zing,
he is there. In this way the followers
of the game have already. found out
that Lear, Davenport and Douglas
look like sure things for the pitching
staff, that Gonzales, the latest Cuban,
is a real catcher, and that Bergman
mer, Rawlings and Kellogg are the
real articles as utility men.
Studies Recruits.
No Red manager in past years had
so good a line on his recruits at this
stage of the game as has Herzog,
and it is going to make for a better
team than was doped in the winter.
We have seen three Of the National
league teams here so far this season,
that is, as opponents to the Reds,
and of these only the Pittsburgs put
up a stronger article of ball than did
Herzog's men. Neither the Chicagos
NOR bo o,,ic cardinals havn anv.
thing on the locals, either in the mat
ter of Individual strength or inside
work-in fact Herzogs men, despite
the fact that they were not hitting
as we'll as they will later on, develop
ed more intelligent team play than
either the Cubs or the Cards.
AS Herzog's men are getting better
acquainted with each other and are
developing more confidence, their gen.
eral work is showing marked improve
ment, indicating that when the Pirates
come here next Sunday for a game,
they will find a team much improved
over that which did battle with them
here week before last. On Sunday,
May 10, the Reds play one of their
Sabbath games abroad, being sched-
uled for St. Louis on that day. Sun
day, May II, they will be home again,
with the New 1OrKS as tnelT OppOu-
ents.
For the Sunday Fan.
Manager Herzog, of the Reds, has
mapped out a plan for the Reds Sun
day games that is certain to meet
with the hearty approval of the lovers
of the game who can attend only the
holiday contests.
In years past. the Reds managers
paid no attention to the demands OF
the fans, so far as offering them va
riety is concerned, and it happened
frequently that for several Sundays
in succession the same pitcher was on
the mound when play was called.
Manager Herzog has decided to
have a different pitcher in the box
every Sunday, and also will alternate
with his catchers on that day. In the
two Sunday games played SO far, Ben
ton and Yingling have been the per
formers Next Sunday, with the Pl-
rates, Davenport or Douglas will per-
form, while as the season progresses
this alternating will continue, so that
patrons from other cities will not be
denied the privilege of seeing all of
the Reds pitchers in action.
