opened. To date he has batted about
eco, and although he is presumed to
be the spryest second baseman in the
National League, he has accepted but
GO chances in IS games.
Critz is not great batter and prob
ably never will be. Farrell had been
anything but a great batter before this
season opened, but Farrell had the
good sense to go TO Florida and get
in condition to play and then had the
opportunity to make himself star.
Critz had all these chances, too.
But look at the Reds today-down in
the coal mine in the National League
race. They may play better ball by
and by. OF course, Critz is not the
only one responsible for the standing
of the team, but the jolt has been a
hard one. Cincinnati will have to
learn not to overpay and not to under
pay.

most of the Spring history in
the National League race. A big
chunk of the history revolves around
two players--Hughie Critz of the
Reds and Eddie Farrell of the Giants,
The cases of Farrell and Critz are
very interesting. They show the
greatness of the lottery of base ball
and how little human Judgment
knows what may happen from sea-
son to season to benefit one club or
harm another.
Before the 1927 season opened Far
rell had no immediate probability of
being other than a utility player. lie
went to the Florida training camp
glad to be that much. Travis Jackson
was expected to be the regular short
stop for the Giants until his appendix
developed trouble and had to he re-
moved. That gave Farrell a chance
which he grasped with avidity.
History now says that Farrell un-
doubtedly has done two mems work at
shortstop in preventing the Giants
from being begged. Farrell also has
batted .389 in 20 games to date, stand
ing second in the National League
batting list today. That is he-man' S
performance. 1t can't be explained on
any other ground except that Far
rell has gone daffy over becoming a
successful Giant.
The Cincinnati team at the start
of the season seemed like a badly
wounded lot of red birds without
Critz, who did not join them in March
because he thought he was worth a
large sum of money as a producer in
base ball. He took no Spring prac-
tice. In fact, he took little of any
thing except a walk now and then
to the post office to see what the mail
brought to him in Mississippi.
1t was evident all through Spring
practice in the South that the Reds
did not have a second baseman
although the boss was trying TO fool
| himself into believing that the team
| did have one.
Critz was signed after the season
