LU0UE To- DISH UP
OPENERS HOT ONES
At CINCINNATI TODAY

CINCINNATI, O., April 13.-Every-
thing is in readiness for the opening of
the baseball season here when the
Reds battle the Pittsburgh Pirates In
the first game Of the season. Both
teams are ready for the fray and hot
contest is predicted. The pitchers for
the game will be Luque for the Reds
and Adams for the Pirates.
There will be only one change in
the lineup that played SO succ essfully
in the south. Jake Daubert will be on
the first station in place Of Bressler,
who has been taking care OF the posi-
tion during the training season Dau-
bert is in condition for the game, SO
Pat decided to inject him in the game
and placed him second in the batting
order
Otherwise the club will line up the
same as it has during the training trip.
Sammy Bohne will be at the hot cor
her and Louis Fonseca will cavort
around second base
Manager Moran put the boys
! through the final practice Tuesday
afternoon and worked them hard on
double plays. He had Bohne. Crane
and Fonseca on the field for more
than two hours pulling off some fast
stuff. Danbert was at first and with
Moran batting to them pulled off some
fast work.
After the practice Manager Moran
said I'VE are in excellent shape to
open the season. We have a young
/ ball club that in several OF the posi-
| tons is lacking in experience, but the
| boys are ambitious, and they are work,
ing as hard as they can to make good
| We have been handicapped by our
| hold-outs, but we have uncovered some
young players, who will more than fit
their places. I am sure the fans will
like our ball club and will not regret
that some of our las, years players
elected to remain outside of the fold.
! Il have decided to play Jake Dau'
bert at first base. I asked him today
| if he was ready to work and he said
that he was. He has had very little
practice, but I think he will be all
/ right on the bag.
THE rest of the infeld will remain
! just as it was In the South. Crane and
Fonseca showed some fast stun on
double plays today. and. OF course,
Sammy Bohne is always there. | will
play See in center and Paskert in
right, and both are going well.
II have picked LuQue to pitch, be,
cause he is in perfect condition and
has a world of nerve. He is ready and
think he can deliver. Ivy Wingo will
catch the opening game.
The Pirates arrived here at noon
Tuesday and Manager Gibson an
nounced that the veteran Babe
| Adams would be his selection 10 pitch
the opening game with Schmidt on the
receiving end. Gibson said his team
was in good condition. Rabbit Naran'
Vile has fitted very well in the inneld
and is going as good as he ever did in
his career.
All the reserve seats for the contest
have been sold and if it is fair and
warm there will be more than $4,000
| fans at the yard. The Reds will be in
uniform shortly after o'clock and the
game will be called promptly at 2: sc
