RED LEGS BEGIN
HARD TRAINING
IN FLORIDA
Pat Moran's World Cham
pions Are Taking It
Easy at Miami.
PITCHING STAFF
LOOKS VERY GOOD

~
IN Garry Hermann and manager Pat
rick Moran have been having a
lot OF trouble lining up the world 8
champions for the 1870 campaign on
account OF cantractural differences IL
is practically certain that the Cln-
cinnat club viii look much the. same
in April as Il looked last october IN
the worlds series.
Moran and his stalwarts are in
training at Miami. Fla Several Of
the more stubborn prlma do1nas
among the Reds are still demanding
big fnceases in salary over what was
offered them but as spring gets
balmier and the fever gets into their
blood there is no doubt that they VIII
come to time
Sir Patrick has had little to

nounced that he expected 10 put
an unchanged team back into the
1920 race and with the eXcep-
fIou OF a young player or two who

they trot on 10 the diamond for
the opening game against the
Cubs on their home lot, hedlnnd

It will be mighty hard for any
voungster TO break into the reElar
lineup Of the Reds Moran has con
srructed a winning combination ana
no one could blame him for STANDING
pat on IL unless some young player q
