fifty.fifty bet. And the team getting
the breaks, and keeping the old
dauber up. il the team that ought
| to win.
Here are Tom swopes questions
and Ruths answers.
Q.-What do you think Hendricks
will do with Kelly and Pip If Gritz
reports?
A.--Use Kelly in the outfield. Pipp
and Kelly are both good players,
and he needs them both In there
for their hitting power.
@ How much strength win Gritz
add to the team IL he signs?
A.--Defensively. q lot. In hitting
power he isn't as strong az either
Kelly or any Of the outfielders who
would have to quit to give him
place II Kelly Il shifted.
Q.-Can Rixey. Mays and Dono.
hue each be depended upon for q
big year, and II so who win be the
fourth regular pitcher?
A.-No one can answer that. They
all look good right now, ] pick
Jake May as the fourth regular
with Art Nehe apt to be good. too.
Q.--What Is to be expected OF the
Red outfield with Roush missing
for the first time in 10 years7
Ats q pretty good outfield.
Christensen is q good man, Though,
Of course, Roush could so and get
'em better than any one Of the
others.
Q.--Is Bressler a real hitter
Ayes. He not only hits bali
hard, but he's what we ballplayers
call flat-footed hitter. They're the
hardest type to fool.
Q.-How does I1argrave look this
spring.
A.-Good.
Q.--Where do the Reds look weak?
A.-They're pretty well balanced
everywhere. The left side Of the
infield is probably the weakest place
in the team.
Q.-What is their strongest point?
Alt ought to be their pitching.
Q.--Does Ford OIL Pittlnger look
like the best shortstop?
Ain the three games I've seen,
Pittinger looks the best. He's q
great fielder and fast.
Q.-What do you think of Pinelli?
Ale always looks good against
us in the spring games.
