it consistently.
of course some batters will
get hold of the pitch some of the

won't travel very far. There won't
be very many doubles and triples
and homers.

M'KECHNIE SAYS

PITTSBURGH, March 4-tA-
Manager Bill McKechnie of the
Cincinnati Reds is looking at the

glasses - first everything looks
rosy and then again it looks
gloomy.
When he looks at baseball in

when he looks at the Reds in par

adding:
Things are just so uncertain
now I can't even tell you who
will be playing. Bucky Walters
and Ray Mueller are sure to be
back. But one pitcher and one
catcher doesn't make team"
The 15-year-old on McKechnie's
roster is Joseph Henry Nuxhall,
who signed a Red contract Feb
10, and who will report after
classes are over in June at Wilson
Junior High School in Hamilton,
O. Probably the youngest player
ever to sign a major league con
tract, he is six feet three and
weighs 1876 pounds today.
His father was a semi-prc
