Cincinnati Sure to Be Fac
tor in 1927 Pennant
Race.
BY Henry l.. Farrell

United Press staff Corrcspondent
NEW YORK. March 30.--Cincin-
MATHS chances for the National
League championship were rated as
practically nothing when the race
started in 1926, but the club came
within three games of winning the
pennant from the st. Louis Cardi-
nails.
The Reds were not an impressive
club last year, with a vital infield
weakness that was not corrected UNI
til late season.
Since the club finished ahead of
the stronger looking New York
Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates,
it evidently had power not observed
on the surface, and for that reason
it is sure to be a factor in the com.
ing championship race.
Important Changes
Several changes have been made
nj the personnel of the club during
the winter layoff. The most inn
pOrtant was the result of trade
which sent Eddie Roush to the New
York Giants for George Kelly.
Roush is rated as perhaps the best
center fielder in the National League,
but his services may not prove so in
dispensable. 1t is no secret that he
was not on the best of terms with
the manager of the club and with
other players on the team.
Some loose fielding on the clubs
last invasion of. the East last season
caused some of the players to
charge him with the loss of two ball
games in Boston and the loss of the
pennant.
In exchange for Roush the Reds
obtained Kelly, the best all-round
player in the league. There isn't any
particular place for him on the club,
however.
