PITCHERS CAN’T MAKE GOOD

Miserable Exhibition of Cincinnati Twlrlers Has Been Great Disappointment to Fans. The great disappointment of the Cincinnati Reds this year has been in the pitching staff and Manager O’Day’s flingers, taking them as a whole, are putting up the most miserable exhibition in the National league, their failure having practically killed the hopes of Red fans for a look-in at the pennant. One of the big disap-

polntments has been Pitcher Harry Gaspar. The lowa photographer started off well, but recently has Joined his fellows on the pitching staff In boosting batting averages of opponents, says the Detroit Journal. O’Day now hopes to make a trade for him and It Is possible that Gaspar in new company will recover some of his old prowess.
