New York, Dec ie.--Sandy Piez: the
Giants official pinch runner in 1914,
who was sent up to Rochester last
spring. will be with the Brookfeds
next season. He IL ono Of the eight
players speared by John Gansel from
the International League. Another
Is Luque, Cuban pitcher and out
fielder. who was sent by tho Praves
to the Toronto club.
Pfez had a freak batting average
OF .375 for thirty-nve games with the
Giants in 1914. but in most Of those
gaines he merely looked after Chief
Meyers or Larry McLean's running
rights. He was at bat only eight times
and made three hits.
Piex made no impressive record in
the International. hitting only Ass.
Luque, however. did fine work with
Toronto. winning fifteen games and
losing nine.

.CIuCINNkTI REDlEGS
have ANOTHER EXCUSE


The Cincinnati club liz out with a
new alibi for the poor showing of its
team In the National League race
each summer. An effort It to be made
by Charlie Herzog to have the sched-
ulo recttfied SO the Reds will be able
to make a respectable showing. AL
though the schedule makers have not
realised each winter that they were
imposing hardship on the Reds
more than on any other team. 1t
seems that such Is q fact.
Although the Cincinnati men have
not been forced to play any more
games than any of the other teams.
they have been forced to play them
under a greater handicap. Nearly
every spring, when the baseball sea-
son IL young and fresh. the Reds are
forced to leave their comfortable
clubhouse and start on q trip OF thir-
Sty-five or forty days that always put
them out of the running, or. II It does
not put them out of the race right
away, 1t puts the men out OF condi-
ton.
The first long trip Of the Reds
starts with a number OF games in the
West. Then the tour of the Eastern
cities Is made. Ordinarily the West
ern teams are allowed to return to
their own campfire AZ soon as they
have made trip over the whole cir
cult, but this Is not the case in Gin
cinnati. Before the Reds are allowed
10 get back to their friendly fans they
are forced to make another little tour
OF the West.
The schedule makers will be asked
To let the Herxogites or without such
u tremendously long tour. The loca-
stion OF Cincinnati is such that the Reds
can make the Jumps easier than any
Of the other teams OF the West.
