REDS ARE INTACT.

Looking over the entrants in the
coming pennant races the fan is very
apt TO turn his attention first of all
to the 1919 pennant winners. The Ma
tional league and worlds champion
Cincinnati Reds will present practically
the same lineup that took the field
against the White SoX last fall, Pat
Moran proved TO the world at large
and the White Sox in particular that
he has a ball club with terrific
punch. During the pennant race he
proved to John McGraw and the pen
nant-hungry Giants that the Reds have
class But can the Reds come back i?
viii Morans pitchers be able to set the
pace they travelled last year and will
his batters hammer the old apple with
the same regularity2 Answer these
questions and youll have the chances
of the Reds boiled down and ready to
stick into nutshell. From this angle
the Reds look as good as ever. Barring
unforeseen accidents to players and un-
expected strength in opposing clubs, it
appears that the Moranmen have a
good chance TO repeat
The Giants. unless some radical
changes are made in their lineup, will
not look much like contenders when
the bell rings. McGraw's ancient in
field has outlived its usefulness. Tim
norman, Doyle and several other Giant
players have let the procession pass
them. And McGraw will find it diff
cult to fiji their shoes, even at that

CUBS HAVE PITCHERS.

The Cubs should look up if Mitchell S
pitching staff can do what will be eX-
pected Of it, Yet the Cubs are not
blessed with youth. Merkle, Herzog,
Deal and Paskert are about at the
end Of their strings and the other regu-
lars aside from the batterymen are,
for the most part, mediocre players.
Vaughn and Alexander WILL no doubt,
be depended upon to do the brunt Of
the pitching, II Tyler's rheumatic arm
the result of bad teeth, the doctors
told hm-can be coaxed back into
mid February writing, however, the
Cubs look better than New York.
Pittsburgh will bear watching, too.
George Gibson inherited a ball club that
is just about 100 per cent better look
ing than 1t was when Hugo Bezdek
took hold, and the Pirates are younger
on the average than some of their
rivals
Branch Hickey says that the Cards
can win a pennant now. He cites
Cincinnati's achievement as proof of
what may be expected of his team.
Branch has some mighty sweet look
ing young talent. This, with his reg
combination. But it's all up to Hickey,
Uncle Wilbert Robnson's Brooklyn
Dodgers can not be overlooked this
year Your Uncle Wilhert is foxy
old butcher who has hung on to every
player Of worth that Brooklyn has been
able to pick up for the last three or
four years, and when the season opens
rivals of the Dodgers will find them
well balanced and playing baseball to-
gether as though they had been born
that way. Robby has pretty good
pitching staff and his team, as whole,
can hit.
The Phillies and Braves, once again,
are not particularly brilliant prospects.
Yet one can never forget what George
Stallings 1914 Braves accomplished.
And 1t will be well to remember that
Gavvy Cravath is a hustler and a
fighter, and he Is popular with his
players. That will help the Phillies a
