He has not had that opportunity with the Reds. who used him as a pinch hitter until few days ago when his name began to appear in the daily lineup.
 Moore Is q natural left handed batter and 1t Is felt that the short right field fence of the Phillica park will enable him to garner his full share of circuit clOuts in his home games. He is a fast. az gressive player. who covers q great deal Of ground in the outheld. In his amateur and scmi- profession- al career he was rted ns an ex- cellent first baHeman.
