BY BILLY EVANS

CINCINNATI, July 2S.-
~ Often one pitcher going
at top speed makes a ball
club.
This is particularly true if
the club didn't bank strong
ly on the showing of that
pitcher.
Adolfo LuQue of the Gin
einnati club is easily the
pitching sensation of the ma
jor leagues. He has made
the Reds a dangerous con-
tender for the fast-going
New York Giants.
Last season Rixey, by his
sensational work, kept the
Reds in the race. This year
Luque has supplanted Rixey
and then some.
The jinx that pursued
Luque last year seems to be
on the trail of Rixey this
