A disguised discard of his field
er's glove started little Alex Ka-
pouris, the Cincinnati Reds Is
year-old sophomore second base
man, on a comeback squirt that
promises to keep him at the key
stone sack the rest of the season.
Kampy, just feet 8 inches tall,
almost lost his job to smaller
and younger Red hopeful before he
started the fielding and batting
spree that has become the sensa-
ton of the Reds season.
He got the call when the season
started, but, within three weeks,
Kampouris went to the bench, and
little Lee Handley, only 81 and 5
feet 7 inches tall, took over second
base. Handley played good defensive
ball for IA games and hit at a 300
clip as compared with the 196 av-
erage Kampy had compiled in %
contests.

POI batting for 40 games was too
weak to be offset by his fine field
ing. To recall Scarsella, Dresser
had to send either Kampouris or
Handley to the Reds International
League farm.
Largely because of Handley's lack
of experience, Dresser decided to
keep Kampouris. He figured Hand
ley could well use the regular work
he would get with Toronto. That
was May %.
Error an Inning
Kampouris went back to second
base the next day. He started off
in jittery fashion. The fans howled.
In the first three innings, KAN
py made three errors. After the
third miscue, he dashed uncere-
moniously from the field, threw
his glove into the grandstand, and
dived into the Reds dugout for
another.
At the plate that day he was no
better than in the field. He Sacri
feed once and then struck out
twice in a row.
Letters by the dozen piled in on
Dresser and the Reds manage
ment They've all stopped now, for
from the day of that terrible start
Kampouris has fielded flawlessly
and has been one of the, batting
stars of the team. His fine work
afield and at the plate was largely
responsible for the drive the Reds
showed when they crashed the first
division, boasting an average O.
better than 500-the highest a Red
team has enjoyed at the halfway
mark of an recent season.
CrOsley Convinced
The Reds improvement went a
long way toward convincing Powell
Crosby, Jr., of the wisdom of exer-
cising the option he held for the
purchase of the controlling interest
in the club.
Three years ago, when the flu
ture of the team was much in
doubt, Crosley was prevailed upon
to interest himself in the club. He
added to his holdings from time
to time during the last two and a
half years until he now controls
the team.
Crosley admits that he knew very
little about the game when he first
became interested, but since then
he has found it SO fascinating and
interesting that he wishes to be-
come permanently allied with the
game in Cincinnati Crosley isn't
zone TO be satisfied to string along
with a loser The way the team has
turned from chonic cellar occu-
pant into a contender for a first
division berth has convinced hiEs
that the Reds are on the right
track.
One of these fine days the Gin
ci1fnati club is going to force its
way up the ladder and give the
league leaders plenty of headaches.
The way the Re DIS have been
knocking off the Chicago Cubs and
the st. Louis Cardinals lately in
dictates that such a day may not
be as far off as many would be-
lieve.
