CINCINNATI FANSPIN THEIR FAITH

TO MATTYAND HALCINCINNATI, 0.. March 6 ?

Baseball bug* hereabout believe

the destiny of the Reds, as far

as 1917 is concerned. Is in keep-

ing of Christy Mathewson and

Hal Chase.Matty has a bunch of youth,

ful pitchers to work with thia

season. If he can develop astar or two from among LeftyGerner, Jim Ring. Mike Re-gan, Roy Sanders and Hod El-ler, all snared from the busheslast fall, Red prospects of a firstdivlaion berth won't be so bad,

as Fred Toney, Pete Schneider

and Clarence Mitchell, who ap-pear due for big years, arecounted on to carry most of theburden.The old master of the pitching hill

will devote most of hit time at thetraining camp to teaching hie pitch-er* the secrets that made him the

most fatuous of the big league pitch-ers. Matty worked on Pete Schneld-! er last fall, and made a big Improve*ment In his work Elmer Knetzer,

! who still Is with the team, likewise' showed improvement.

Chase will have charge of the bat-

tins ftiflof the ramp. Hal only ledthe league la*t year, *o he la pretty

well qualified to give instructionson how to hit the elusive pill. Chaselikewise will drill the vets androokies on base running, and per

haps shotf them a few things aboutfielding

A great fielding and throwing out-field is sure to wear the Red thisyear Kddy Rousch. Tom Griffithand Xeale can go and get 'em as faras any three In the majors.

Cuban Player SignedNone «et the world afire last year,

so Chase will take them in tow. whileManuel Cueto, a Cuban slugger lift-ed from the Virginia league, willtry to beat one of them out of hisjob.

The team is certain to be strongat two Infield |>osltlons. first andtjiird or fln»t and second. It being «

uncertain right now whether HeinleGroh will play third or second. BillMcKechnle, Dave Shean, Billy Lou-don, Larry Kopf and Tommy Ro-nmnach are candidates for the othertwo jobs, and all RedvJUe bugs canhope Is that they will fill the bill.

The catching staff does not lookextra promising so far. Ivy Wlngoland Tom Clarke both had poor sea-sons last year. KmII Huhn was sickmost of the summer, but showedpromise at the tail end. Hubn bannn excellent chance of becoming oneof the first-string backstops thisyear.

Fifth or sixth place seems to bethe best the Reds can hope for.There is no silly pennant tajk beingstirred up here, as the team doean'tlook as good as the one Buck Herzogtook South last spring. However,Herzog'a tactics as manager failedto get the results the team was capa-ble of, and If the Reds Oon't haveanything else this year except har-mony. they are pretty sure to havethat, and harmony never kept ateam down In the race.
