Manager Hendricks also would
like to know how good Val Picinich
will be in 1929. The clever catcher
had his best year in 1928, catching
nearly 100 games and batting over
800 for the first time in his major
lofsalue experience. If Picinich, who
- been slow to sign and has lost
tie benefit Of early training, can
repeat his last seasons performance,
Jack believes his club is as good as
in the first division.
If
II President John A. Heydler's
proposed pitchers batsmen plan
could be APPLIED to catchers, Gin
cinnati would have no further Wor-
ries over completing the staff to as

ing with Hugh McMullen, able bats
man, doing the hitting. This how
ever, would make no provision for
Sukeforth, who was on the club last
year.
No change will be made in the in
field. Long George Kelly will play
