CINCINNATI IS IMPROVED TEAM Reds Show Ability To Come From Behind: First Night Game Cincinnati. May 2ft — Ability to come from behind is one of the unmistakable signs of a good ba.ll club. Chuck Dressen’s Reds have ] di. played this duality in no uncertain terms in recent games. The last time the Reds were in Boston one day the Bees were jogging along coasting to victory with a seven-run lead late in the game. But that game went into the official records as a victory for Cincinnati. A few days later the Pirates wenit into the last half of | the ninth inning leading the Reds 3 to 0. but before they could get anybody out the Redlegs had sewed up the ball game by a score of 4 to 3 by viitue of rtani Byrd's pinch homer with the ba.ses loaded. j Then came the Reds’ visit to Chicago. The Cubs had just been strengthened by the addition of Curt avis and Ethan Allen. Charley G imni probably thought it was tims '-he Cubs were "taking the Reds in stride.” They seemed to be doing just that thing . Wednesday when the Reds went into the ninth on the short end of a 2 to 0 score. But in the twinkling of an eye the Reds had driven five rune across the pte.te, sending the National League champions dow-n to defeat. Developments during the first; six weeks of the current season seem to indicate that the Reds can i entertain reasonable hopes of re-. 1 maining in first division all year. . The standings on Thursday morn-! ing showed them just a half game, out of third place. The Reds have . been able to rise this high with I ; Babe Herman hitting seventy ! points lower than his 1935 average; with Ival Goodman in a !slump; and with Paul Derringer; I meeting misfortune much oftener i than he did last season. It these three players can re|turn to their 1935 form, first division should be no empty dream for the Reds. The Reds return home after i their game in St. Louis Sunday, ready for the firtJt night game of the 1936 season Tuesday, when they appose the Phillies under the re-modeled and revamped floodlights. Elaborate fireworks will precede this first night game, with the gates opening about 6:30 and the ball game scheduled to

I The cabinet, at a special meeting at the house oi commons this morning, was reported on reliable authority to have discussed the advisability of opening negotiations with Italy for u settlement of a virtual crisis that has persisted for a year. The majority of cabinet members, it was understood, favored strongly the effort to start nego- | tiations. providing that it could be arranged within the framework of the league—a possible obstacle. It was understood that the cabiI net decided to consult the govern- ; ments of the dominions at once on their attitude. This news came one day after a visit by Dino Grand!, Italian ambassador, to foreign secretary Anthony Eden. Grandi was understood to have told Eden that if league penalties were continued Italy could not en- : ter into any agreement to consoliI date peace in the Mediterranean ; and must consider whether she i could retain even formal memberI ship in the league.
