REDS
AGAINST SENATORS

The Cincinnati Reds, winner OF the
1919 world baseball championship
will be seen in action here April S,
when they hook up with Clark Crit
flths Washington outfit in an exit
bttion game. These two teams open
ed an eighteen-game exhibition series
In Tampa, Fla, on Monday which
will wind up in Cincinnati on April
IL.
Barring accidents Manager Pat
Moran will place practically the same
men in the field that he used In the
worlds series games last September
and this will add great deal OF in
terest to the contest Such men as
Neale. "Heinie" Groh and Slim Sal
lee will be seen in the Red Sox uni
form while fans will watch with In
tereSt the work of Jesse Milan for
the Washington team. He Is rated
- one Of the best base stealers in
the major leagues having held the
American league record in 1912 and
ia.
Manager Grifith has had many
third basemen since he started to
manage ball clubs but he thinks that
IN Joe Leonard he has the best In his
career. Leonard il not only a hard
hitter but q fast man on the bases
and winning ball player.
Joe was tried by Pittsburg in 1914
but being only q kid failed to make
good ~ many other youngsters have
done and was shipped back for
further development He was secured
in 1915 and has been with the team
ever since. He will ba seen when
Washington plays Cincinnati here and
the fans OF this city will have an
opportunity to see just what hustler
he Is,
Like Groh. OF the Worlds cham
ptons, Leonard Is small man weigh
ing but SO pounds but every ounce
OF him is baseball.
Where are there any baseball fans
that have not read OF the wonderful
work Of Jimmy Ring, of the Cincin-
natl club, who will play here? Jimmy
- Brooklyn boy and made his flrst
appearance In that city when a kid.
His good work attracted attention BY
several managers ana ne was soon
engaged. His work was so good that
Manager Matherson of the Cincinnati
team purchased his release and he has
been with the club ever since.
His grand work in the worlds series
was one of the redeaming features
and called for many complimentary
notices.
