ager Jack Hendricks of the Gin

Early in spring training this year,
1 had intended having chat with
Hendricks about his ball club. 1t was
my thought to get in touch with him
after the exhibition game the Reds
were playing against an American
League CLUB.
Cincinnati got away to flying
lead of about five runs in the early
innings of the game and seemed on
the way to an easy victory. That look
ed promising as, knew Jack would
be in far more genial mood than if
he lost.
The club then put it's bats away for
the rest of the game and was beaten
in extra innings. 1 decided to postpone

What Price Victory:
THAT evening 1 parted company with
the Cincinnati manager and shift
ed my base to another camp. Since
then 1 have made the circuit. In the
interim the Reds have lost seven
straight games to various American
League clubs.
Is there any positive reaction be-
cause of such a tough break in, these
exhibition games?
I doubt if there is. Some might say
that repeated drubbings in the spring
tend to destroy a clubs morale. That's
questionable, very much So
Last spring the Boston Braves were
the sensation of the exhibition games,
yet when the season opened couldn't
get going and soon fell into the sec
ond division, to stay there all year.
On the other hand, Brooklyn, beat
EN- a dozen straight times by the New
York Yankees, stepped right out in
front in the National League race and
for nearly two months kept the pace.
After all, these spring games don't
count in the standings.

the reason I wonder if it isn't mis-
