BY BILLY EVANS,

Orlando, Fla, March 24.-Wha
tlance have the Cincinnati Reds d
win the National League pennant?
The fine showing of the team las
veal. unquestionably gives the. BED
right to be considered a sstr56i
contender.
On paper the club looks might
strong. A man-to-man comparisoi
with the other leading clubs reallI
makes the Reds stand out. Their
isn't a single glaring weakness OF
the club.
However, the one thing that ha
impressed me most about the Gin
cinnati club was the spirit of thu
players, the loyalty that each mai
has for Manager Pat Moran,
The spirit and loyalty of the Red
squad makes for harmony. No bal
club has a chance without that on,
great essential.
Players Are Confident.
The Cincinnati players feel tina
they have fine chance. They ar,
equally positive there is no bette
manager in the National League
than Pat Moran. They want to viii

for the players to be on the field
at 10 in the morning and 1 80 il

Desiring to renew some old acI
quaintances among the players, I de

The same situation again presented
itself; all the players were in uni
form and at work.
When Manager Moran arrives the

The Cincinnati Reds are one large,
happy family. There isn't a shirkcr
in the squad. Getting into the pro-
verbal "pink Of condition" is the
thought uppermost in the mind of
every players.
The Cincinnati squad has the old
spirit; harmony is everywhere.
These essentials, plus real ability make
the club loom up as strong pennant

GOLF AND CHECKERS

Cyril Walker is one Of the best
golfers in the country-and one of
the slowest.
Jock Hutchinson, aside from being
one Of the cracks, has a keen sense
of humor.
A year ago when Hutchinson re-
turned from England after COM
peting in the British open, he
brought back with him a flock of
sweaters that were SO loud they
fairly shouted.
One of the sweaters was black
and white with a check about an
inch square. 1t so happened that
the day Hutchinson was to follow
Walker in a big tournament he
wore this sweater.
As the two were waiting to
tee off, Walker, intending to josh
Hutchinson about the loud sweater.
remarked:
flock, it looks as il you intended
to play checkers instead of golf
from the appearance of that sweat
err"
"That's just what deciced when
I learned was going to play back
of you. | knew l would have
plenty Of time. so / donned this
sweater to fill in with checkers
between Shots"

At last! One old-time baseball;
player who doesn't insist that they
were better in the good old days.
Teams of today are composed of
brilliant all-around players" says
Jerry" Denny, first world series
home-run hero. I'm my time we had
flashy fielders who couldn't hit a BAL
loon, and husky sluggers who were
poor fielders.
Nowadays. the teams play to-
gether on the diamond. everybody
keyed up TO high speed. We were
always busy covering up the weak
nesscs of a brother player who could
hit but not field"
Denny carved his niche in haseball's
hall of immortals 80 years ago when
he cracked out the first home run in n
world series game. Denny was a mem-
Der of the famous Providence club.

times from the floor and 81 from the
foul line. In Johnny Miner, they
possessed one of the leading scorers
in the conference. Yet, despite all
this, they were defeated on all but one
occasion.
Ohio State was woefully weak on
'cfense. More points were scored
IN the Buckeyes than on any other
nit. In fact, they led the rest of
he field by 100 markers. And therein
les their inability to win games.
In practically all of its tits this
season. Ohio has rung up enough
counters to capture most any ordi-
nuary fray. having averaged % to the
contest. Against this scoring power.
However, the foe has turnessis<a n,
average of 81 points TO the fracas,
showing why o. S. L. has been a
consistent loser in spite of its stellar
offense.
Earlier in the season the Staters

Tense for some % tallies, but while
they were accomplishing that the
Wolverines were compiling 10 mark

which the Buckeyes have partici-
rated the situation has been some

Thus. in the case of Ohio State at
least, good orrense hasn't been the
best defense. Figures prove it. And
figures never lie.
