PICKS REDS TO TAKE PENNANT United PrtM Picks Cincinnati To Cop National Pennant By George Kirksey. <VP Staff Correspondent I New York. April 5 <U.FJ Pennants are won with pitching. The Cincinnati Reds have the pitching, and that's why they'll win the National league pennant The Reda have their weaknesses but what National league club hasn't? The sharpest criticism of the Reda is directed at their second base ccmbinatlon It smy prediction that the play of Billy Myers •nd Lonnie Frey around the keystone bag Will be one of the big , surprises of the 1333 season Myers is far from the "dog" some crlUcb hint he is and Frey will I prove one of the league's moat Improved player* The Reda main threats will come from the Chicago Cuba and the New York Giants. The Cubs will' make a real bld but the rheumatic condition ot shortstop Dkh Bartell la likely to be a serious handicap to last year's champions The Giants can make trouble but their; pitching and infield problems are likely to cause Bill Terry's club i to falter In September or earlier. The astute handling of ctncln- , nati's pitchers by William Boyd McKechnle will play one of the big roles in deciding the race 1 - Cincinnati Is the only club In the eague which can show a good ' pitcher every day -Paul Derringer. Bucky Walters. Johnny Vander Meer. Lee Grissom and Whitey Moore. Behind the “big Eve" the Reds have a formidable group of 1 ■econd-st rmgers Whitey Moore, who won only four games last year, has really arrived Grisaom s arm Is strong i and he looks like he'll threaten the j 2*game class.
