NEW YORK, June 24-Tucked
away In an old notebook is . quote,
scribbled under q baking sun last
March. Plump Doc Prothro, bravely
trying to put some pherocity into
she pheeble Philhes, was the author.
I'VE are bound to be better this
year." the note reads. I'VE may
make some trades, but they won't
involve any Of our good players"
Heading the list Of good players"
at that time was Morrie Arnovich,
who, the good doctor admitted, car
ried the club the first three months
Of the 1899 season.
Now the sturdy optfielder from
Superior, Wis, has been traded to
the Reds. indicating that either the
good doctor has only q "yes" vote
when the Phillies make deals or
that, in view Of Arnovich's .184 bat
ting average, he no longer was
classed among the better players.
Anyway, it's a good break for
Arnovich, team player and, when
playing his game, mighty man
with a bat. His new environment
may be just what he needs to snap
him out Of a hitting famine.
That's probably the way the Reds
figure. They had to do something
when the Dodgers got Joe Medwick,
and the best bet appeared to be to
meet force with force. If Arnovich
starts hitting the way he hit early
last year, he'll Offset the Dodgers
acquisition Of Medwick.
The most overlooked and under
rated club in the National League is
the New York Giants, team which
made its "ifs" come true.
While the Reds and Dvdgers have
been stalking along in the spotlight

been padding along at their heels
