Cincinnati, April THE second
game of the series of three between
the Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds
scheduled for this city this afternoon
was called off on account OF the ram.
In consequence the Yanks spent their
first day Of enforced idleness since re-
porting al Macon. Donovan and his
men arrived here just before noon, a,
which time threatening clouds made
it doubtful if the game could be played.
Rain began to fail shortly after their
arrival and continued throughout the
afternoon.
The postponement undoubtedly cost
the Yankees owners considerable
sum, as to-days game was to furnish
Redland fans with their first view OF
Charlie Herzog's 1916 team. It was
also disappointing to the local admir-
crs Of Lee Magce. resident Of Gin
cinnati. and Neal Brady. whose home
ia at Ludlow. KY, just across the river.
These two were to be serenaded by
their friends. and Donovan had prom
Used 70 Leg Brady start the game.

row. and the proposed celebrating may

baseball is always regarded as a cS'as-
trophe.
The Yankee headquarters here were
not entirely devoid of interest, despite
the nostponement. Dick Kinsella. the
Same Dick who has figured so long in
the stories OF the Giants, met the
Yanks on their arrival here, and few
minutes sufficed TO make him a scout
for the club. Kinsela signed a con
tract for one year. He will work with
Joe Kelley in keeping the Yankee own
ers posted on young material, with
promise or without.
Kinsella parted company with the
National Exhibition Company, when
controls the Giants, only few months
ago. Previous 10 that time he had
been McGraw's chief scout for six sea-
sons. He secuted for the 81. LOUIS
Cardinals in 1912, but came back TO
NcGraw in 1913. The manager OF the
Giants regards Kinsella as one or the
best Judges of playing talent IN the
country.

Giant club officials. according to report
and Dick handed in his resignation. In
his time he sent Larry Doyle to the
Giants. put his official o. X. on several

highly touted youngsters.
