ORLANDO, Fla, March 13.-tFl-
The Cincinnati Reds may talk them
selves into q position somewhere
near the front Of the National league
stage. II their lungs hold out the
Red Legs training at Orlando will
be the chatterboxes Of the circuit
when serious play begins.
Tall George Kelly seampering
about first base like a gay gazelle
il the magpie of the infield with
heavy vocal support from Critz. Ford
and Dresser and Ray KoIp il not
called windy because he Is !
pitcher with fair stuff and q lot Of
courage.
The Reds think they will be in the
pennant hunt and do not mind say
ing SO. No drastic changes have
been made in the personnel since
last season, but there is every indi-
cation that the team will get a bet
ter start than vas the case a year
ago.
Outfield Not Picked
Hughie Critz was not among those
present at the training camp last
season and Kelly, Of whom much was
expected. reported with an appendix
acting up. which finally threw him
down in Philadelphia and sent him
to a hospital the day Lindbergh land
ed i'm Paris.
Adolfo Luque, the Cuban veteran,
another late conner Of the 1927 sea-
son. reported early ia 1928 and soon
rounded into shape
The infield will start with Kelly
at first, Critz playing second, Ford
stationed at short and Dresser as
signed to third. WaIIy Pipp will
play first base on occasion, and Pit
finger and Jack White. the former
Fordham infielder, will probably
make up the reserves, although En-
nett Mccain, who had trials with
the Athletics and Washington. has
played well in the spring.
Manager Hendricks does not know
what he will do about the outfield.
although two of the positions are al
most sure to 90 TO the tried Curtis
Walker and sensational young Ethan
Allen. who Joined the Reds last sea
son without minor league experience
and showed that he did not need IL.
Purdy Fight For Place
Kid Purdy, who reported to the
Reds from Seattle last year and made
a deep impression before he was in
Jured, is fighting for q place, as Is
his former Seattle teammate, Marty
Callaghan- Rube Bressler, the con-
verified pitcher, who is a dangerous
right-handed batsman. found himself
at odds with the management and
probably will see one OF the young
sters take his place In left field. Bill
Zitzman OF last years outfit, Is an
other available.
The Reds brought over a number
of first string pitchers from last
season. including Eppa Rixey, Red
Lucas, jake May. Adolfo Luque. Pete
Dcnohue, Carl Mays and Raw Kolp.
Beckman. who joined the team last
year, and JRblonowski, recalled from
Hartford. are bidding for places. Big
Jim Edwards. with several years ex-
perience in the American league to
help him along, was drafted from
Seattle and seem to be in good DO
sition to stage a comeback. Ken Ash
from the Virginia league. and Alius
Sweeney, late Of the Orlando club.
would have a good chance to remain
with a club less plentifuIly supplied
with pitching skill.

DANGERS OF FLYING

For weeks the total of airplane
fatalities have been steadily rising.
reaching a climax the past weekend
with record of ten deaths
Considering the comparatively
few airplanes in the air compared
with automobiles on the ground
this fatality record is exceedingly
high. 1t indicates one of two things:
That there are many reckless filters,
incompetent pilots; or there is much
poor equipment in the air.
1t will be remembered that last
spring Governor Trumbull was in
yited to take the air in a machine
he located near Moosehead Lake;
that he looked it over. shook his
head and aNerred he would not risk
his life in it. Immediately thereafter
the pilot of the plane was dashed te
earth and died.
1t will take more than airports tc
make flying safe; and it will require
more than airpiane manufacturing
records to make the nation air
minded. Most likely the population
as a whole will refrain from be-
coming air enthusiasts until they
read about fewer airplane accidents

PERHAPS A MYTH

A cartoon appeared the other day
showing boy going to school with
irons tied to his feet and alongside
him walked snail in the lead.
Which was to indicate the prevail
ing notion that youth hates to re-
turn to school after the summer
vacation,
That may be partly true-but
only partly. Youth is eager for nov
city. and returning to the school
room after a summer of play may be
much in the nature of novelty-at
least for few days.
The first and second graders
especially are eager about it, and
they hurry along with the proverbial
shining schoolboy face. After a week
or so they may not be inclined 10
hurry so much: but there can be
little doubt about their emotions at
the beginning of the school term.

TEXTILES AND FARMING

New England now is being told
that as secretary of commerce Mr..
Hoover greatly aided the textile in
dustry. But what good did that do?
While Hoover was helping" the in
dustry by trying to stimulate ex-
ports the girls were smashing the
industry by wearing less and less.
Even a well-meaning secretary of
commerce cannot produce textile
prosperity under such conditions.
This textile-aid propaganda put out
in behalf Of the candidate is two
edged sword. AS soon as the west
ern agricultursts find out about 1t
they will begin asking what Hoover
did about helping their industry.
The best he did, in fact, was to tell
the soil tillcrs they should forget
about exporting a surplus but should
only raise enough for the home
market.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1928-09-11
THE SOUTHERN CAMPAIGN

Rapublican leaders apparently be-
lieve they have better opportunity
TO break up the solid South this
wear than ever before, and Mr..
Hoover is exercising a high degree OF
strategy when he enters this field to
holm the cause. With Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina. the
acknowledged Democratic leader Of
the state for decades, concluding he
can not support Smith, a wide
breach in the Tar Heel state is un-
folded. Some Democratic supporters
of Smith are worried over it: the
grand old party naturally is elated.
In addition to North Carolina, there
are Tennessee and Virginia to work
on. states in which the sentiment for
Hoover seems 10 be sufficiently evil
dent to warrant special effort by the
Hoover Chieftains.
1t would be too much. perhaps, to
refer to the disaitection in these
three states as revolt against
the Democratic party. IT is rather a
healthy sign that a large body OF
voters in them are no Longer as hide
bound as they once were. Tn" state:
may still roll up a majority for the
4 mocratic candidate, but reduced
ma ioriiiea in them VIII Ii" a Salr

q trend that is at least significant.
B Kentucky and Oklahoma are two
other states fiat provide fertile
field for the Hoover organization
Politics in these states have beer

sided for several elections: the time
when it was considered in the light
/ of a crime for anyone to have al
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1928-09-11

independent political view there has
long been past.
No matter what happens in these
states it will not be due to a change
from one party to the other: 1t will
be the awakening of more inde-
pendent spirit among the electorate.
1t will mean that a larger portion Of
the voters prefer to belong to no
party but will give that party prefer
ence which appeals most to their
ideals OF democracy. Such public
attitude will have the effect of fore
ing both parties to make efforts in
their behalf--something which they
have not been compelled to do until
in quite recent years.
