Ho is assured of 1 r- ffif3Pi V Jk I 4lPlilll REDS NOW HAVE SHOW For First Time Cincinnali Club Picked as Winner. Joo Tinker Will Strengthen Infield Where It Waa Weakest Good Haul Mado Vhen Seals Becker Wta Secured From New York. Cincinnati, for the first tlmo In years, is picked to bo an acute con tender for the National league base ball championship. Its selection is due to its having a now and versatile manager in .loo Tinker, formerly of tho Cubs. Cincinnati is said to havo had a missing link in its llnc-up over since Tommy Corcoran left tho team In 190C. Corcoran played short and tho ex-Cub Is now expected to supply tho missing link that has kept tho Kcds from winning a pennant. It Is generally conceded thnt with Tinker at short tho Reds will be at least CO per cent, better than last year, when they put Up a romorkable fight. Basoball men in President Lynch's organization say tho club would have finished bniter, and possi bly would havo won a flag, If Garry Herrmann had had an lnfleldcr of Tinker's caliber. They expect tho for mer Cub to place tho club in the thick of tho battle with Chicago, Now York and Pittsburg. Their contention Is that ho has men who can hit the ball with any other set In the organi zation, who can field as well, and who havo tho speed. If ho can ob tain better than fnlr pitching, It is thought ho will give the first division teams a lot of worry. Tinker's Infield, taken at a glance, is not tho worst in tho league. It was only medlocro last season, and In spite of that did remarkably well. Tinker's presence will mako It ono of the fastest in the league. No club in tho organization, except Brooklyn, can boast of a better first baseman than Hoblltzell. His Hue nblllty has not been brought out yet, but It will bo with Tinker at tho helm. Egan Is a sterling second baseman, but waB handicapped by not having an 'experi enced shortstop to help him. Assist ing Tinker at Second, Egan is expect ed to be a wonder. The right side of Tinker's Infield nnd half of tlio left can be compared with any of tho other seven teams. Third baso is a perpelxlng problem for tho new manager. He has a com petent man in Eddie Grant, but the latter has lost much of his aggres siveness and hitting strength. It is thought, however, with Tinker at short Grant will play as ho did with tho Phillies. Should ho do so, Tinker will havo a good lnfleld. He has fair utility men in Esmond and McDonald. Tinker's duties aro light when it comes to choosing men to play the outfield positions, although ho did lose a good man In Mitchell. Some say tho Reds will profit by tho Mitchell trade. He had been with the Reds so long that ho lost his enthusiasm. Marsans, the Cuban player, is an excellent man to take his place. He Is assured of playing regularly In right field, as he ts a natural .300 batter, fast and show ing development In his hcadwork. Reseller will bo In loft field and to day rankB aa tho leader of the league. That takes into consideration his Held InK, batting, throwing and base run ning. Ho fell below tho .300 mnrk last summor, which should not havo happened, experts say. It is expected, though, that ho will climb abovo this flguro this season under Tinker's sys tem of playing. Hescher nlso ought to be better In base running and field ing with the spirit and ginger Tinker plans to Inject into the club. A fairly good haul was mado when Beas Becker was secured from Now York for tho wnlvor price. It Is not likely he will play center field, as Tinker has a better man In Bates. Becker Is fleet, but is only a fair hitter and fielder. "Bates possesses nil theso requisites and llko Bescher is assured of a regular borth. Ho In jured his leg last season and played In only oighty-nino games for an aver ago of .289. Cincinnati's outfield Is to bo ranked with tho best, critics say. Goldlng Finds His Successor.' George Goldlng, tho champion heel and too walker of tho world, now liv ing In Toronto, Is of the opinion that tiiore Is a walker In Denmnrk who sooner or later, will succood him as champion His namo Is V.
