    Baseball Men Speculating on Effect Moran’s
Death Will Have on National Race
. JACK HENDRICKS, NEW MANAGER
OF REDS, FIRST CLASS MAN GONE
WRONG-GIVEN NO REAL CHANCE
Handling of Pitchers Was Moran’s Best Trick—Wilbert
Robinson of Dodgers Only One in Game Rated Close to
Late Cincinnati Boss in Developing of Hurlers—Was
Great Leader of Men and Well Liked by All.
Ily DAVIS -I. WALSH.
E W YORK,
.March 8.—Death,
the inevitable of
all things mortal,
sat in the game
down at Orlando,
Fla., yesterday,
and dealt the Cin
cinnati Reds a
pair of deuces
from a marked
deck. Reaching
out an icy hand,
It claimed the
stakes in the per
son of Patrick
Joseph Moran,
famous manager,
and today baseball inen the country
over are speculating on Just how far
reaching will be the effect on the im
pending National league race.
It may be much or little, depend
# Ing on how well Jack Hendricks,
Moran's successor, can carry on
where another left off. Hendricks is
a first class man gone wrong. He
never got a chance in St. laiuis and
was shunted back to the American
association with scant farewell. He
knows baseball and can handle men.
The Reds could have looked further
and fared worse—but Moran was
Moran.
The Cincinnati Reds are his ball
club, conceived by him. weaned from
mediocrity and reared to full growth.
There is hardly a man on the ball
club who does not owe his present
status in baseball to Pat Moran. They
are the product of his system and
they know that the name of Pat Mo
ran stood for success. He had an al
most magic ability to mnke ball play
ers play better than they knew how,
as the saying goes, a trick of getting
better than the best out of a man.
He did this In bringing the only
pennant to Philadelphia in 1915, win
ning with two pitchers, a catcher
and a shortstop.. It was the same
with the Reds in 1919, who played
above and beyond their collective
head In winning for Moran. These
were his epic efforts.
On both clubs were men who then
and afterwards were stars of the first
water, thanks to Moran. With the
Phillies he was responsible for the
rise of Alexander and Rlxey ns pitch
ers and of Dave Bancroft ns a short
stop. With the Reds be got Hod
Eller. STlm Bailee, Jinuny Ring and
Dutch Ruether. pitching winning ball,
developed Pat Duncan as an outfield
er, reawakened Jake Daubert at first
base and revamped Morris Rath and
Larry Koph. discards. Into a fine
combination around second base. Ed
Roush, of course, was a star ready
made.
Later the club sprang a fallen arch
or so, but Moran lost no time In
replacing the spavined members with
others just as pood. Within two
seasons he stepped out with Fonseca,
iiohne, Pinelli and Caveney, real In
fielders; Harper in the outfield; Har
greaVe, a fine catcher, and Pete Don
ohue, one of the best young pitch
ers in the league, to say nothing of
developing Adolf Luque Into one of
the leading right handers In base
ball.
The handling of pitchers was
Moran's best trick. There Is only
one other man in baseball, Wil
bert Robinson, who ran be rated
in tlie same class with Moran In
this respect.
It is there that the Reds will feel
the pinch of Moran's loss most. Lack
ing a real punch on the offense, they
had gone out and rounded up an Im
pressive stalT of pitchers for Moran
to work on this season. His master
hand was expected by many to Jockey
this stafT to another pennant and the
majority of critics picked the Reds
for no worse than second place.
These are the shoes that Jack
Hendrlnks has stepped hopefully
into. We can think of many more
comfortable. _

Says Berlenbach Hard Sockcr.
□HEY say this young Berlenbach.
22-year-old German-American of
New York, who has scored so
many consecutive knockouts that the
statisticians have lost count of them.
Is the hardest hitter the middleweight
division has seen since the days of
Stanley Ketchel. They also say ho
Is a one-handed hitter, pure and sim
ple and that all of his knockouts have
been scored with his left hand.
Dan Morgan, snga old manager
of Jack Britton, says Berlenbach
is the greatest natural hitter he
has seen sinee poor "Steve” "Ketch
el was in his heyday. "Rerlerbach
punches short and each and every
blow he lands partially paralyses
his opponent.”
"Paul shifts easily and quickly. If
ha misses a right hand punch he Is
in position to strike with hLs left.
And the power he gets Into any sort
of a punch la amazing. The man
doesn't live who can take his blow
on the chin without going down "
That's quite extravagant praise
from Morgan who seldom aees any
thing beyond the one Jack Britton.
Can’t Pima* ’Em All. Elks.
□HIS aurs Is a funny ol' wo0d.
Not long ago we received a let
ter from a reader of our sport
pages who signed the letter a “Fight
Fan.”
Tills “Fight Fan” wanted to know
why the promoters of boxing shows
in Omaha didn’t get some new fares
on their programs. He admitted,
however, that whenever he went to
see Morrle Sehlalfer fight he always
saw a scrap. But he wanted to know
why the promoters don't give Mor
rie, Munroe and Ace Hudkins a rest.
I^at Sunday the Omaha lodge of
Elks announced Sammy Mandell and
Sammy Sieger as their ten-round
main event for March 17th. also Karl
McArthur and Herbie Schaefer In a
10-rounder.
Already some fans are bowline
that the Mandell-Sirgrr affair will
be an uninteresting scrap, etc.
Tlie Elks have arranged a card
of “new fares” and stilt they get
howls. What else ran a poor pro
moter do?
Sieger Is fighting Johnny Dundee,
Junior lightweight champion at
Rochester, N. Y., March 27. Hammy
Mandell ha* been camping on Dun
dee's trail for sometime, but ha* been
unable to land a bout.
Mandril will have a chance at the
Omaha Auditorium St. Patrick day
to put Sieger out of the running for
the Dundee bout. A knockout or a
derisive defeat at the bauds of Man
dril would put Sieger out of the
Dundee match and Mandell in line
for a crack at tlis champion.

met many horsemen.
Secretary Trimhle received many
compliments on the class of races

GIANTS HITTING
LONG LINERS
Boys Are Batting Phenoras
as Long as Pitching Is
Loose ami Neighborly.
__■>
SAKASOTA. March 6.—A week of
fielding practice has given the
Giant rooks plenty of that league
confidence and they are handling
their morning grapefruit with the
grace of a Hajoie and scooping up
their breakfast eggs with assurance
of a llans Wagner. •
Yesterday’s practice was a scries
of spurts and fumbles between a
complete set of spring sltowcr*. The
boys took their whack* at- the bat
and there were some verj- Ions
liners knocked into the gulf. All the
boys are hatting phenoms down here
in February and will continue to !>e
so long as the pitching is home and
neighborly.
Terry got into thee rucial fungo
hitting for the first time. He is the
husky Infielder grabbed from Toledo
last summer. He took it easy and
just jogged around enough to author
ize him to demand two pieces of pie
for dessert at supper time.
Everything i» ready for the ar
rival of Manager Metiraw. ami the
second wave of Invading athletes.
All the brothers are in good condi
tion. there are not banjo arms am!
no sickness in catnp. What more
can you demand of a state?
Florida is kind to the visiting fire
men and welcomes the bouncing
tourist. It breathes on him the lubri
cated air heavy with the balms from
the orange groves, drops grapefruit
in his lap and blisters him with a
tropical sun. Crocodiles fan him with
their tails, sharks smile at him with
double rows of teeth and the real
estate agents pat him on the ha
with mortgages. What more can any
man want?
The Giants have been looking for
an Ideal training camp and they
have found it. They had some slight
difficulty with hotel arrangements,
but that could be easily eradicated
b.v making this town a permanent
camp and building their own dormi
tories here. It will be no astonish
ment if that happens in the neit
year or so.
Don't be surprised to pick up a
pamphlet describing the delights of
a Hotel de Polo Grounds, Florida.

Romero-Rajos to
Arrive in U. S. Soon
New York, March 8.—It is probable
that Romero-Rajos, Chilian heavy
weight champion, will be here with
in three or four weeks to prepare for
three fights under the direction of
Tex Itiekard. The Chilian will meet
Floyd Johnson of Iowa, the promot
er announces, but the date has not
been set. He will also fie put Into
the ring against two other heavy bat
tiers.
Romero-Rajos is in Iluenos Ayres,
where he has been trying to push
through a fight with Luis Firpo
'llie South American boxing commis
sion har ordered the "bull of the Pam
pas" to meet the Chilian or forfeit
ids title. •
'•To heck with your title." Luis
answered in effect. "I knocked Demp
sey through the ropes."
The impression gains among sport
ing men here that Kirtio will fight
here eventually under the auspices
of Tex Rickard, promoter of his cham
pionship bout with Jack Dempsey,
next Septemlier.
The Lew Raymond syndicate has
ireeded considerably from its flat an
nouncement last month that Firpo
and Wills would fight under its man
agement.
Alonso Not in
Tilden’s Class
New York, March S.—Tennis ex
perts here say it would be a mistake
to attach too much importance to the
defeat of 'William T. Tilden at the
hands of Manuel Alonso of Spain tn
the final of the invitation tournament
at the Buffalo Tennis and Squash
club recently. It would be a fallacy
to conclude from the result of that
match that the national tennis cham.
pion is slipping, even in the slightest
deeree.
Thos® who saw Tilden literally blow
off the court in the national turf
court championship at the German
town Cricket club last September will
lie pretty hard to convince that Alonso
is in the same class as a tennis star
as Tilden. The Spanish internation
alist rarely has shown as brilliant a
game as he did against the titleholder
that day. He was absolutely at his
best.
And yet Tilden toyed with him, took
the first two sets without the loss of
a game, and then related and yielded
two games before completing his task.
