REDS PURCHASE AIDS NATIONAL Cincinnati Team Is Expected To Cut Figure In Pennant Chase Now York. Mar. 27.—(U.R)- The National league received a stimul biting shot in the arm this year when Powel Crosley. Jr., the mil ! lionaire radio manufacturer, and I his dynamic man-Friday, red headed Lurry MaePhail. took over the Cincinnati Reds. This club, tail-ender of the 193'1 season, long hits been a weak sister i in the circuit, lacking gate appeal at hiune ami on the road. Dur-; ing 33 years of major league play. ’ the Reds won only one pennant. Thar was in 1919 when they won the scandalous world series from the Chicago Black Sox. But 1934 will mark the beginning i of a "new deal" for the Reds, ac- . cording to Crosley and his asso-1 eiates. It should see the beginning of a climb from the cellar toward the pennant. Close analysis of their prospects indicates they will, advance at least one notch this I season and wind up in second place, ‘ topping the Phillies. ' Bob O’Farrell, one of the game's' best catchers, acquired from the Cardinals to act as player-manager, will supervise the advance. Were it not for a weak pitching staff, the Reds might climb higher this year because they have been strengthened in all other departments. But whom can they beat, besides the Phillies, with questionable pitching in a pennant race that will see a slashing dog fight among the Giants. Cobs. Cards. Pirates. Braves and Dodgers’ Down in the Florida training grounds the Reds have warmed the hearts of Cincinnati fans with the largest squad in the club's history. They have shown spirit and ability in their exhibition games, winning five of their six contests with major league outfits. They won two more from sand-lotters and lost one to Columbus. Rut they looked pretty fair in training last year. too. The Reds will sport a bang-up inI field, on the diamond and at bat. ' Sunny Jim Bottomley will be back at first base. Tony Piet ’mm the Pirates will be at second; Market Koenig from the Phillies or-Gord-on Slade- from the Cards at short, 'and Sparky Adams or Les Mallon. ex-Phillie, at third. Koenig and Adams probably will get the posts. Mallon and Slade appear the best bets for utility jobs. The outfield will find Chick Hafey at center. Adam Comorosky of the Pirates at right, and Johnny Moore or Hafrv Rice at left. John Gill, up from Chattanooga, has a chance to stick because of his hitt ing. Comorosky bolsters the pickets on defense and attack. — o Notre Dame Plans National Event South Rend. Ind..

CITY SUFFERS WORST DAMAGE IN MANY YEARS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE were not able to work on the Home stead site, south of Decatur. School was dismissed at the De- l catur high school because of no * electric lights. A battery light had to be used ■ at the Adams County Memorial hospital this morning while an operation was being performed. The | line to the hospital was one of the I | first replaced in service before j | noon. Snow followed the sleet and this I morning the landscape was a glistening picture of radiant beauty, the I only mar being the destruction to trees and utility lines. Many people motored over the city to see the work of nature. Men were engaged in moving the tree branches off the sidewalks and streets. Work started this afternoon to haul the debris away. It is likely tiiat the street department will haul the limbs and clear the streets and sidewalks. One of the places where the sleet 'played havoc with the trees was in the park at the Elk's home on Third and Second streets. The cluster of beautiful birch trees at the southwest corner of the lot was greatly damaged. The tops were broken out. A large Japanese cherry tree was split in two and it | will be necessary to cut down the remaining part of the trunk. Several other ornamental trees on the grounds were damaged. M J. Mylott stated that the storm was the worst he had ever seen in his 36 year's experience with the municipal plant. "It makes me sick to see the ruin, but we are keeping at work and hope to restore service as soon as possible." the superintendent stated. Long distance telephone service will be resumed late this afternoon, but it will be several days before the rural lines are put back into commission, officials at the local office stated. The cable at the corner of Adams and Line street came down and this cut off telephone service to a part of the city. Decatur is favorably known for its many beautiful shade trees and ADAMS THEATRE - Last Time Tonight - “GOING HOLLYWOOD” with Marion Davies. Bing Crosby, Stuart Erwin, Fifi D'Orsay, Ned Sparks.
