HERRMANN SURE OF TRIUMPH

President of Cincinnati Club Most Optimistic Over Team’s Success In National League. Garry Herrmann, Redland chief, is most optimistic over his team’s chances, and freely predicts a pennant for the Cincinnati club. He says the club is breaking all attendance records, and is playing to bigger gates, both at home and on the road, than at any time in the club’s history. The Reds also are run on a pretty economical basis. The club has little utility strength. Lately Bressler, a pitcher, has appeared in left field.

Sherwood Mfjgee started off in left, but after he became ill, Cueto, the diminutive Cuban, who is an allround handy man, played the outfield until he got bad fingers. Bressler then was playing in the outfield. Cincinnati’s only other utility man is Jimmy Smith, the little Infielder, who has been kicked alt around the circuit.
