NEW TIMBER IN
CINCINNATI REDS
Some of Trams Beat Pros
pect* Recently Crippled and
Mana|(e?iier' Deeide* M?ke
Several Im^orUui i.iiange?.
New York, June 2.?The Cincin
nati Nationals, having found tueni
?elves going into the campaign of
the East with too uiany cripples and
too little reserve strength, have,
wisely added power front the out
aide.
Harper has been traded for Walk- i
er of the Phillies, a move that was
meant to add to the battiug strength
of the Reds, and Minneapolis has
been induced to transfer Critz, a sec
ond baseman, and Shorten, an out-(
fielder.
Shorten already has had some ma-1
Jor league experience. He is not a
hard batter, but he is a mighty In
telligent batter and he is a good out
fielder. Criti l? not the best second
baseman in the American Associa-i
tion nor is !ie the worst. He will
give the Cincinnati team confidencc.
because there is a deep feeling that
when Bohne makes an error it is a
very costly affair and the crowds
have not always been kind to him.
Bohne has been unfortunate in mak
ing raisplays in games that were vi
tal to the success of the Reds and
a player who has that kind of luck
always finds some of the fans hos
tile.
Cincinnati has had pretty bad
. luck with Its players this year so far
as injuries are concerned. The team
seemed likely, for once, to be able
to put Its full strength In the field
from the start of the year, with
Rousli beginning the season. Instead
of starting after It was two or three
weeks old. But Roush was Injured
and the Reds were further handi
capped by the loss of other Injured
players, so that they have not got
squared off for a steady fight, al
though they have been doing better
than In other years.
The Reds cast eyes in the direction
of Indianapolis earlier in the season
and the fact that they could not get
help there, but were compelled to
turn to Minneapolis, indicates what
long has been suspected, that Brook
lyn has first claim on Idianapolis and
that Indianapolis will not weaken Its
team until assured It cannot win
the American Association champion
ship.
Cincinnati's determination to
strengthen and to do so as quickly
as possible, U in line with the poli
cy of the team, which is based on the
theory that this is the golden year to
defeat the Giants, if that club ever Is
to be ouated from the championship.
The double defeat of Brooklyn by
the Giants was a tough blow to Bob
ble's men who believed they were
strong enough to overcome the New
York crowd, and figured on being as
good as runner-up at the end of the
season.
The Giants are starting to hold
their own again in the championship
race, by their ability to defeat the
Eastern teams. Their constant suc
cess in that respect in past years
has been one of the big factors In
winning them so many champion
ships.
Between the loss of McManus and
the falling off In batting by Sisler,
the St. Louis Browns are not pro
gressing as they were. The Browns
are having their troubles with the
western clubs. There la yet to rise a
team in the West that looks stable
enough to make an irresistible bid
for the league leadership in the Am
erican.

Keaaon Than Fear.
New York, June 2.?Talk is beard
that despite the outcome ot the Gib
bons-Carpentier fight the French
man will fight again shortly, hit op
ponent being Ermlno Spalla. Spalla
says that the Frenchman ducked him
In Europe. But If he did he probably*
had reasons that did not relate to;
fear of the Italian. A Sew York]
battle between the two Latins would*
deplete Little Italy of Its population!
and thus Insure a whacking gate ev
en if no one else came.
Ad Stone, who has been In Jersey,
visiting his parents is a fine. up-,
standing young fellow who appears j
to be taking on good solid weight.
Stone says that this Is the case and
that physically conditioners advise
him he is likely to be tipping the
beam near the two hundred pound
mark this time next year.
Stone's hand, which he injured
again In the Loughran bout, was an'
unfortunate injury financially, as'
jwell as in other ways. Maxey Hoff,1
this manager, had arranged an attrac-1
tlve series of open air bouts him,
one with Harry Oreb, but, of course.
I all these engagements are off.
It looks as though Stone's first
fight will be with Charley Weinert
In Jersey along about the middle of
| next month. Other fights will fol

look like a bad bet?except that the
odds are pretty high.
