Business Manager of Cincinnati Club Declares Marsans Will Be National League Star.

The Cincinnati Reds have two Cubans on the regular line-up who are expected to be stars of the National leagne during the coming season. Gonzales and Marsans are the names of the Cubans secured by Frank Bancroft, business manager of the Reds. "Marsans will prove the Ty Cobb of the Nationals,” said Mr. Bancroft. “If it is possible to have another such

wonderful player as Cobb is, then Marsans will be the player. He will play the left field position this season, replacing Bob Beschler and, mark my word, he’ll be nothing short of a sensation. “And Gonsales, whom I sighed on my trip to Cuba last summer, promises to be a second Archer. His throwing to the bases is most accurate and he throws from a flat-footed position. Gonsales cannot speak a word of Bn*lisb and Marians is used as interpreter."
