.Bressler isn't here. He. too. wan;-

benefited without doubt by the
acquisition o. Wally Pipp they have
been slightly embarrassed by the
absence of two men who played 10.

Ing loss and tie other a batting loss.
Both needed the practice and they
have pulled boner by remaining
out of il.
Yet this is Il good ball team, and
don't mistake it. If it plays the game
of base ball shrewdly with the ma
terial it has it will be in the way of
more than one team that aspires To
win ball games and pennants this
coming season.
The big advantage gained by Gin
c1nnati Is the signing of Pipp. When
the American League let Pipp get
away from it there were American
League clubs that make Il mistake
He was too good to get out of that
organization, and if ne has physical
luck this year he will make his share
of money for the National League
because he will make the games Of
the Cincinnati club attractive by set

Heretofore, this infield has been in
the habit Of throwing at random from
time to time. when the first baseman
did not play up to championship pitch.

Immediately picked up and their gain

One who watches the Cincinnati in
field this Spring in practice cannot
help noticing the different atmosphere
of the players. They throw to first
base with confidence that the throw
will be taken care of. They do not
hesitate when they throw, but shoot
the ball in the direction of the base
and Pipp does the rest. That is what
a good first baseman should do for
any team.
Pipp Better Than Gehrig.
Today Pipp is a better first base.
man than Gehrig of the Yankees, al
though he cannot drive the ball as
Gehrig does, and the Yankees are
looking for hitting.
The Cincinnati infeld has not the
batting strength, in all probable of
the Pittsburghs or the ST. Louis
Cardinals. but if it had that strength
the fight between Cincinnati. Pitts
