G„ Reds Set For Spring Training While some ball, clubs have^been busy feeling sorry for their op­ ponents, and some others have peen feeling sorry for themselves, the off season has been expending itccirljnQ'iTOwr'evH^bayTffTi'asn- foall finds it’s almost time for the start of the 1942 spring training activities. Spring training always changes a lot of attitudes, for during that period there always blossoms new hopes from all quarters, while those who go to their camps op­ timistic in advance become doub­ ly so, and the self determined Sympathetic understanding of their opponents’ problems, pseudo or real, becomes more pronounced. To those who have directed some of their sympathies in the cUretiUon of Cincinnati, there is no desire to refrain from accept­ ing anything that is offered, not­ withstanding that the motives Wight not be philanthropic. And, so, the Reds are going to listen to those with suggestions about other clubs’ business, al­ ways having in mind that their sympathizers have an ulterior mo­ tive while they go along whistling iti the graveyard, Whistlers have been known to be made to change their tunes by the process of men who were pictured as corpses con­ tinuing to live and haunt those Wiio did the whistling. If one could look into a crystal ball and see the future, all would be well. But there are no crystal balls. If there were, the Reds co aid have looked into One a year egt> and foreseen that men who normally were good hitters would not hit, and that as a result, the team would drop to third place. Or* the roster of the Reds to­ day are three outfielders who bath d .300 or better in 1940, and another who blasted far above that figure in 1939. Mike McCor- jmick. Jimmy Gleason, and Ernie Koy ere the men who slumped in theft averages in 1041, and inas­ much. as they are still young, it is reasonable to assume that there is a strong possibility that one, two, or maybe all three of them Will tetum to their 1940 form in TLtlii The Reds also have Harry CHft, and three very promising rookies in Hank Sauer, Frank Secory, and Eddie Lukon. They also have Ival Goodman, who was a whiz-bang until last year. Nobody will deny that the Reds have a great pitching staff and a fine infield. Their sympathizers concentrate on the outfield. They fail to realize that notwithstand­ ing the series-of slumps that over­ took all of the gardeners last season^ that the Reds still managed 16 playvlas” weir as any team in the league, champion included, from Memorial Day on. More hitting from the Reds’ out­ field next year is a safe bet, and this prediction does not come from the spring approach. It comes from a close survey of the records of the players involved, and the law of percentages, which most surely favor the men of the Cin­ cinnati outfield. Talk is cheap. The Reds have discovered base hits are not. But conditions change, and perhaps 1942 will see the loose talk of the winter developing into an expen­ sive liability. Eddie Lukon, who was 21 last August 5, will register for the draft oil February 16. Lukon came to the Reds from Knoxville, where he was an outfield sensation. He made a favorable impression in his 24 game! with the Reds, The Reds’ second edition of their 1942 roster will be off the presses late in January. Ival Goodman, who jias been a righlhanded thrower alL his life, says he will attempt to throw left- handed this year.
