TAMPA. I'la-'I'lio Cincinnati
Iteds will be n different ball club
this year, ai,r) you can (piote me on
that," said. Warren C. Giles, presi
dent of J-.e Ohio entry in the Na
tional league.
But. that was only the beginning
of a. conversation which saw Giles,
usually one of the most placid ofl'i
'.tals in tin' major lea.'.-ucs. turn on
the heat. He lirsl sat there as
though the talk Moating around
the room was correct -several men
were picking the Reds to finish
deep in the pcnnanl race. But as
he sal he not only listened but
thumbed through the National
League Green Hook of facts and
figures.
Then, without leaving his seal.
Giles literally hit the ceiling and
pointed out how the Hcds were
improved over their sixth place
club of the previous season.
"Now it's my turn." said Giles.
"Bill IMcKrehnie was a grand man
ager but he played for I lie single

plans to bring American l.eaime

"Why last year we lost -41 ball j
games by one run. a new high for I
us. In 1940 wt won 40 games by )
one run. '1 ha! year we won Hie
pennant.
! "So the Phillies pick us near the
j bottom. Well, if we had just three
1 more runs last scar we would
j have finished ahead of them. They
heat us by two games lor fifth
; place.
1 "People had been, asking a
! long time 'when are you going to
j get a .300 hitting outlielder?'
I Well now wc have one in Augir
i Galan of Brooklyn. Galan was
j one of the seven outfielders in
, the league to bat ..'!()0 or better."
j Gabe Paul. Giles' assistant, then
came to the aid nf his boss by fur
; nishing some additional data on
j"what happened to the llecis'.'"
"The type of ball Johnny Neun j
will have the Reds playing this I
season will increase our team bat-j
I ting average by 10 percentage
j points," said Paul "Why the Reds'
j were in fourth place last summer'
j when we lost our two most impor
tant players, third baseman Grady
Hatlon and shortstop Eddie Mil- '
ler. They were to us like Stan
Musial and Enos Slaughter w ere j
to the Cardinals. '
"Hatton suffered a hairline
kneecap fracture and Miller
his shoulder. We lost nine straight
and during the last two months
won only 20 while losing 39."
Besides Galen filling a gap in
iauuinoit ami njuseWsKi
the outfield, the Reds are bank
ing on three rookies. Two of
them, pitcher Ed Erautt and
Irankie Itaumholtz, an outfield
er, may crash the lineup. The
other. Ted Kluszewski. brought
two gloves along and is willing
1 to play first base or Uie outfield,
j Erautt is a six foot right hander
I from Portland. Ore. His fast ball
I gave him 20 wins with Hollywood
I in the Pacific Coast League last
I year. He is 22 and appears ready.
'His brother. Joe. 25. is at Lake

Kluszewski is built like Lou
Gehrig although in early practice
he moved around faster than Geh
rig did when Lu broke in. If he
can play first he has a great future,
says Paul, for he seems to be able
to hit a ball out of Ihe park.

Charles E. 1 Bill
begin practice with the Chicago
Bears, National League professional
football champions, on August 1st
and expects a year of understudv
play before taking a regular posi
tion at guard with the team, since
that is the usual procedure with
pro freshmen.
Bid talked over his plans for
the future during his visit home
through the spring vacation period
ut Duke, whose gridiron team he
captained last autumn and where
he earned selection on All-Southern
conference and All-State college
elevens. He returned Sunday to
Whisen-1 Durham, where studies will take
up his time until JiHie 2nd grad
uation day.
Professional foolball js not con
sidered a permanent occupation
but besides offering good pay to
its outstanding performers it can
serve as a springboard for what
the Hazel wood gridrier has been
schooling himself for a coachipg
position.
An all-round athlete. Hill has
no little ability on a baseball field
being particularly effective in the
hitting department and track. He
took, iji 1943 before entering ac
tive duty with the Marines, the
conference broad jump champion
ship with a 22-feet, 4-inch leap.
Golf, swimming and other diver
sions take up his spare time.
When Duke's baseball team be
gan practice, Bill looked like he
was tq get a birth in right field
but when eligibility forms were
sent in for 'the team his was turn
ed down due to the contract to play
pro football. The same reason will
keep him off the Blue Devil track
squad.

such old-time aces as George Mc

Hill says he will play a few

Nature designed the kidneys to do
marvelous Job. Tbcir task is to keep the
flowing blood etre..m free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act of living lije
itulf is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys must remove from
tbe blood if good heat h is to endure.
. When the kidneys fail to function as
Nature intended, there is retenlion ut
waste that may cause body-wide dis
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizzmee.
Setting up nights, swell inc, puttings
under the eyes feel tired, nervous, all

Frequent, scanty or burning passages
