MORAN CAN THANK
DREYFUSS FOR TIP
Pat Would Have Unloaded
Ring and Reuther Had Not
Barney Refused to Waive.
BOTH HAVE MADE GOOD
Boost in Salary Is Said to
Have Given Each New Pep
and Life.
BOTH HAVE MADE GOOD

CINCINNATI, Oct 4.--Ring and Reu-
tier have proved themselves pretty
valuable to the Cincinnati Reds in their
drive toward the pennant but perhaps
1t might be in order for Pat Moran to
thank Barney Dreyfuss for tipping him
to the value of these hurlers.
Soon after Moran took hold of the
Cincinnati club he decided to attach the
hardware to Ring and Reuther. He
asked for waivers on the hurlers and
every club waived in Jig time but Bar
ney Dreyfuss.
When Moran learned that Barney was
willing to annex the two stars he began
to think. He had a conference with
Garry Hermann, and the latter ad-
vised Moran TO hold on to the hurlers
and to give them a thorough trial. Gar
~ did not force his views on Moran, but
told him to use his own best judgment.
Moran thought the matter over. He
called Ring and Reuther in for heart
to heart confab and the result is now
known to all the fans in the country. IL
IS limited by reliable parties that Moran
gave Ring and Reuther substantial
boost in salary with a warning that they
would find themselves out of a job un-
less they delieverd the merchandise.
Moran admits Dreyfuss made him
think. II figured that II Barney could
use this pair they must have some val
ue," he said. Pat recently declared he
was never in doubt as to the ability Of
Ring and Reuther, but he did figure
they wNge rot 70vgrburovlrets~sit> sssrat-'
ton and therefore would be the same as
a milestone around his neck.
Like several more managers In the
National League Moran has a great deal
of respect for the ability of Dreyfuss to
pick ball players, especially the young
ones, who have flivved after short
trial.
Ring has been a star for the Reds this
season. He has worked hard in every
game in which he has hurled and at all
times he displayed much more interest
than last season.
Reuther too has delivered the goods
and will no doubt be heard from in the
big series to which the Reds now seem
to be eligible. 1t was close call Tor
Moran and one he will not forget In
hurry. according to his own statement
