HENDRICKS SEES CHANCE FOR REDS (Copyright 1928 by United Press) Indianapolis, April 4. —(U.R)—'-lack Hendricks. manager of the Cincinnati Reds, told the United Press today that he expected the Reds to battle it out with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago Cubs for the National League pennant. “I don't claim a pennant winner for Cincinnati." he said, “but I like the looks of niy club very much. 1 think the Reds will finish in first division and with any break in luck well fight it out with the Pirates and Cubs foe the pennant.’' The Pirates, Hendricks said, are without a glaring weakness and ought to win again. “Sparky Adams plugged the gap at second and gave the Pirates the strength needed to recover from their world series Iteating." Hendricks said Hendricks believes “Kiki” Cuyler jus< about made the Chicago Cubs. "I don’t like the Chicago infield,” he said, “and didn't before Adams was traded, but the Cubs have the pitching, the outfield and the catching to go far. VThe Boston Braves will lie dangerous. Hornsby and Bell will break up a lot of games at Boston with home runs into those new left field bleachers, only .301 feet from home plate. I expect the Braves »o finish in frst I division." For first division. Hendricks picks I Pittsburgh. Chicago. Cincinnati and Boston, and for second division. New Yoik, St. Louis, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. There are few changes in the Reds' lineup from last year. Kelly and Pipp will play first, Critz second. Ford short and Dressen third. The outfielders are Walker, Zitzmann, Purdy. Callaghan and Allen.

Its first cost is therefore its only cost. You do not have to pay someone to sharpen it from time to time. The self-sharpening device is patented. To sharpen The Eclipse vou simply turn a little sleeve on the center of the reel shaft, spread a little mixed emery and oil on the cutter-bar blade, and push the Mower backward. The enierv grinds both the reel blades and the cutter-bar blade, hv this one operation so thev match each other perfectly like the blades of a pair of shears. This is the only way to perfectly sharpen a lawn mower. The Eclipse has a. patented adjusting feature that brirgs the cutter-bar blade and the reel blades in close alignment and is very simple to operate. This also is an exclusive Eclipse feature. All cutting blades arc highly tempered crucible steel, and will last a lifetime. The Eclipse is the easiest mower made to keep in good running condition. Every adjustment is simple, efficient, and practically fool-proof. The Eclipse has been manufactured and sold for 22 years, and many of the first machines made are still in active use. This is why we can afford to guarantee The Eclipse for ten years. H. Knapp & Son
