ORLANDO. Fla" April 3.—
A deal wliich was never consumated
has made the Cinci Reds I better
ball team than they were last season.
'Bils statement may sound... bit
odd. but it appears to be true as I
study the team Jack Hendricks is
whipping into shape here. -
The near deal referred to is the
one in which Jimmy Caveney and
Louis Fonseca, infielders, were to
go to the Detroit Tigers in exchange
for Jo ny Nuen. brilliant young
first man.
Caveney and Fonseca joined the
Reds two years ago from the Pa.-
ciflc Coast. Both were rated as "corn.
ers." Caveney the more brilliant of
the two. Cinci scouts said Cavcney
was ready to stop with the best
shortstops in the big show. The
ball world lay at his feet.
Caveney proceeded to show Cin-
cl fans he had the makings. He play-
ed dashing. brilliant ball at times.
but was erratic. Then he seemed to
slip. His legs were giving out. his
friends said. It turns out. now those
friends were kind to him. He was
not taking the game seriously. Be
still felt himself secure, however. be-.
cause ot the advance notices be had
received. Then came the brutally
frank statement of tho Clncl bones
that they would let him. and Louis
Fonseca. slip out of the league for
another good ball player. The fact
that a deal was pending with an Ant-
erican League club made it plain to
Caveney that the other National
League clubs were not enough in-
terested in his case to bar his do.
parture. Then Caveney saw the light.
Move Serves its Purposes.
The deal fell through. of course.
No loss than five clubs in the Ameri~
can League would have protested
against the departure of the young
Tiger star to the rival organization.
But Caveney had teamed a lesson.
This year he reported in an earnest
mood. lie is out to show the bows
that he isn’ t ready to slip out of the
National League and possibly the big
show at his age-he is only 29. He
has tended strictly to training. As a.
result he is the Caveney he was ex-

clnnatl bosses and fsndom.

Sammy Bohno has been playing

Hendricks is working on a vari-
ety of outfield combinations those
days. Eddie Roush is the only man
sure of the same Job in the outer
gardens day in and day out. Bo-
Hendrlcks has Elmer Smith. Curt
Walker and thsman. who was a Red
in 1910 and has come back from the
Newark club. all cf whom can play
the outfield and. sock the ball.
Hendricks is giving all three picn-
ty of cnanccs to play He may fin-
ally decide to send in one outfield
composed entirely of letthand hitters
when ietthanders are needed and
change his combination to meet
southpaws. Smith. Walker and

side. .Iie may put Walker in left.
Itoush in Center and Smith in right

sldcra
He doesn't have to worry abom
his outfield. If Charley Dressen's
arm rounds into shape Hendricks
may give this young infielder a
crack in the outfield. should Smith.
Walker or Zitmaon hit. a slump.
Red pitching has always been un-
certain. For three seasons the team
has expected wonderful pitching and
the results have been disappointing
at times. This year it Carl May; has
another good year. Jaklo May and
Tom Sheehan come through. .I’etc
Donahue has as good a year or bet-
ter than he had last season. and

the Reds will have the pitching

other merry battle. But more of his
later. Suffice it to say the Reds are a

the race.
Actording to the \icwpolnt of the
Cincinnati manager Brooklyn. which
finished a scant now out of first
place in 1931. will not get anywhere
this season: certainly. he says. not
in second place again.
Hendricks figures that Vance will
not have as good a year and other
clubs which were easy for thc Rob-
ins last season have strengthened
their pitching staffs and will offer
more stubborn resistance.
Other students of spring form
have declared that it would not be
surprising if the Robins romped out
in front this year. aided by the new
material Manager Robinson has
gathered. and were never beaded.
The managerial ability of Man-
ager Hendricks is not highly up.
praised over in the borough of
homes because of his failure to get
the club higher in the race last sea-
son. The argument is that if Hen-
dricks with a four star pitching staff
of Luque. Pete Donohue. Rixcy and
Carl Mays could do no better than
the second division last season while
McGraw with only three steady reg-
ulars and the Robins with the some
number got higher. Hendricks should
do no predicting about where his.
rivals will finish.
Hendricks figures six pitchers
worked regularly will aid him in his
drive to finish third or better. The
men he plans to use were with the
club last season. only one of tho
rookies taken to the training camp
showing anything to encourage him
into thinking he had picked a. future
major leaguer. The six he has set-
tled upon to carry the hurling bur-
den are Donohue, Rixey. Luque.
Sheehan and Mays and May.
Cincinnati writers say that Don-
ohue is heavier and stronger than
he was lastseuon. Ila has started
out strong and believes he will be
able to hold it throughout the sea-
son. .

and they have the added proof of
the records to bear that out. There
may have been greater indixtdual
players than either of them in their
positions. and there probably have
been. but there is no combination
like them. and never has been.
t! is their ability to get the "scr—
oqd man" part of the time and in
some games most of the time. that
makes themanean so much to the
Washington club. They can get
more “second men" than any pair
in baseball. .
Many clubs try for double plays
and get the first runner but miss the
second. This pair gels lllu second
runner more times than any other
pair on the diamond.
Do you realize what that means
in baseball? It means when
double play is the last. two out of an
inning that Roger and Buck have
put the side out for good. It means
when the double play is the first
two out that Roger and Buck get
not only the ilrsbman but the sec-
ond who might be a subsequent
menace to the team and score a
run. It means that day after day.
where other clubs are trying for the
second runner and failing to get
him. Roger and Buck are putting
him out of the way:
In the wbrld series it was the fast
double plays'that were raising hot:
