NEW SPIRIT IN
REDS THIS YEAR
Cincinnati Hopes to Finish
Higher in the Nation
al League Race.

OltbANOO.-Flu., Mar. 20 (AH)
The Cincinnati Heds this yeur
have u new ownur, u new manager,
new .spirit and hoiiiu old familiar
figures In new uniforms. They hope
the combination will maku the red
legs more conspicuous In the a
tional league pennant ehase than
liu9 been tho eao sine they lust
uerlouHly threatened In lJtUG.
Ijile liiHt season, the ownership
of the lU'dn passed to the hands of
b'ldney Well, young und energetic
automobile dealer who admitted a
lack of technical baseball Knowl
edge hut poaseBsed excellent
enough buHlneBH judgment to en
gage tho cupablo Dan Hurley on
general manager of tho lfirccs on
tho field. Hacked by Weil, Howlcy
has given tho club drastic shak
ing up and. developed a habit of
hustling that may make tho Reds
a. decided factor Uiia season, even
though they hardly can hopo to en
tertain any pennant prospects.
Povclopins i'Hchcrs
Howley lias concentrated on the
development of new pitchers, tho
encouragement of tho old and the
acquisition of a bigger punch in
the ouirield by obtaining Hob Meu
hoI und Harry (Slug) Heilmann
from American league clubs at an
outlay understood to be around
$50,000. The new manager found
ready-made for him such assets as
the great right-handed tw trier,
Charles (lied) Micas; a sensational
catcher In Clyde aukeforth; and a i
fino second-baHO combination in
Hughie Crita and Horaco Kurd. I
Leo Huroohcr, tho peppery lad ob !
tallied from tho Yankees may
break into this combination as an
alternate or understudy fur Ford
at shortstop without spoiling Its
defeuslvo efficiency.
. Mueusel and llellinunn, In fine
condition and eager to show they
can hit national league curves as
hard as they hit American league
fast halls, give the Heds a much
needed clean-up wallop.
Howlcy will be disappointed If
these two do not hit around .350
apiece. They will bo supported
probably by Krnest Kvar Kwanson,
centerfielder. and onu of tho fastest
men in-baseball, with Curtis WalK
er, Ethan Allen and perhaps Karl
Webb, former Cub, It reserve.
Veteran at First
The veteran George Kelly at first
und either Charley Dressen or Joe
Strlppat third base will ,-ound out
the Infield. Tony Cuccincllo came
up touted as a great third bu so
man, from Columbus, .ut Holey
has developed hint principally as
an understudy for Crltz at second.
This appears important in view of
tho talk at various times ti at the
Heds might listen to terms on a
deal for Crltmkh.
No matter how many games they
place in the winning column, the
red f linger will bo in condition.
Howley has had Mho whole club
hustling but lie has had the pitch
ers running. Like Hob Shawkey,
Hucky Harris und other managers,
Howley regards a pitcher's legs as
important as his arms.
Nothing Is tho matter with the
good right arm of Lucas who won
19 games last season, or tho south
paw of Jakie May. They are the
aces of the staff. Pete Donohue.
much heavier and stronger, and
Kppa Jeptha Hlxey. towering
southpaw, probably will capitalize
their experience us relief men.
Howley hopes to develop at least
one, If not two performers from
tho crop Including Doug McWeeny,
big fast-bait pitcher from Hrouk
lyn; Archie Campbell, another of
Hi. Paul's numerous contributions
to the big show; HUhh Johnson, last
year with Columbus; and Henny
Krey. obtained from Nashville. Kay
Kilp, Ken Ash, Kube Khrhardt nna
Marvin Oudat, young Texas south
paw, are all hold-overs.
Suit. -forth, who hit. 364 last sea
son, his first as u regular, will
share the catching assignments
with tho veteran Johnny Oooch.
but Howley has tho hooks out for
a not her backstop, needed for emer

Luzerne Atweil Bluo, tho uble
first baseman of tho St, Louis
I trow ns who is built like Bed
Grunge and as dynuniict on the dia
mond as the redhead was on tho
gridiron, sat In on a discussion1 of
fast balls In tho lobby ot the
Monterey hotel, West Palm lieuch.
"J.efty Grove unquestionably
has the fastest ball of any pitch
er In the American league," said
Hii, who can speak with authority
after ten years of facing the best
boxmen in tho circuit.
"Wulberg is fast and so Is Earn
shaw, among the right banders.
I but neither has quite the zip thai
Grovo can put on the ball. Tho
ace of tho A's, in addition, has
great control' for a southpaw, Wul
berg has a belter curve than
Grove."
The subject turned to Walter
Johnson, who probubly had the
fastest ball of them all.
"I batted against Johnson eight
or nine years ugo when I believe
ho was still faster, than anyone,
in t lie league and faster even than
Grove Is now," declared Blue.
"Hut Cobb. Speaker and tho fel
lows Who had known him in his
prime, told mo I should have seen

they were right, I'm glad I didn't
have that to worry about. Ho
was too good for mo when they
saiil ho was about through."

bulldozed" by Charles Comiskey,
Chicago While Hex owner. Art
Shires, erstwhile first baseman,
lias announced that ho never again
will play with the team.
In a telephone conversation last
night he admitted ho had re
ceived a telegram troni Comiskey
asking him1 "while participating
In tho fight ring, who suspended
you und who produced tho evi
dence that caUBed tho reinstate
ment?" "Tho boxing commissions have
records of this," Hhlres declared,
"but I'm not a bureau of Informa
tion for Comlakey or anyone else.
If Comiskey wants to know any
thing about the fight racket, let
him go to tho boxing commissions.
They have all the dope. I wasn't
guilty of any wrong doing."
He said he whs going to ask
the White Kox to place him on
the voluntarily retired list, then
planned to pruceed with other
plans, probably to play semi-pro
ball in which lm believed he could
make more money than tho Chi
cago club offered him.
Shires has been classed as a
holdout since ho failed to sign tho

him by tho Sox management, ?

The SINGLE idi-A of superlative quality was the inspiration for
Camel Cigarettes.
From the time when the first Camel Cigarette was made that one
idea has set Camel apart.
A policy of better tobaccos, combined in an incomparable blend,
manufactured with the most exacting care all to assure the utmost
pleasure in smoking.
That is the ideal and the practice back of every package of
Camel Cigarettes.
It lias made Camel the most popular cigarette ever known. More
millions have chosen Camels for smoking pleasure than ever accorded
their patronage to any other cigarette.
