HERZOG FINDS GOOD PITCHER IN GENE DALE BY C. H. ZUBER. CINCINNATI, June 2. If Old Probs the weather man will only show us a little consideration, we'll have the dandiest baseball jag in Cincinnati during the merry month of June that this old town has known in many years. The fans are just ripe for base ball, having been deprived of the real article so far this year by bad weather ind the fact than Manager Herzog .ias had to experiment with his men to set the right combination. Now that the weather apparently las succeeded in getting ri ' of all the ain and cold In its system, and the ight piecing together of the talent vailable finally has been made by -lerzy. we seem to be in for a season of splendiferous sport. It is estimated hat the bad weather that has pursued '.he Reds so far this season has caused l loss of a bout $25,000 to the club. However, with the eastern teams coming on and visiting for nearly three weeks, it is expected that much of this deficit will be wiped out. Eastern Teams Play. The gentlemen from the Atlantic "oast will give us, among other attractions, three Sunday games, Boston being here Sunday, June 6; New York, Sunday, June 13, and Philadelphia, Sunday, June 20. Many new faces will be found among the eastern contingent, a fact that will add to the interest and uncertainty of the contests. It isn't always the pitcher who does the most brilliant work during the j training season who delivers the goods ; when the real contests are on. When j the Reds were doing their preliminary ; stunts at Alexandria, there wasn't a i twirler in the lot of pitching recruits j who received less notice than Gene j Dale. He came with a good recom- , mendation from Montreal, but his ' work during the practice season would lead one to believe that he was just an ordinary performer. After the season opened Manager Herzog didn't have confidence enough in him to 6tart him in a game, but used him several times as emergency man after some other twirler had been canned. Finally Dale was given an opportunity to start a gome, and now iiis is a regular. Dale has defeated 'he Phillies, the Bostons and the St. Louis Cardinals in succession, and with the ri?ht kind of support would not have been scored cn in any of these games. This showing of Dale eives the Reds five reliable twirlers in Benton, Iear, Ames, Schneider and Dale, with Brown, Toney and Douglass in reserve. Gets Third Sack. It looks as if Fritz Von Kolnitz. originally signed as a catcher, had succeeded in capturing the third base job on the Red team. The fleet Dixie man is improving rapidly in his play, and also in smiting the ball with some j degree of ferocity, especially in the ; pinches. Herzog's infield has been ; bothering him all season. Neither 01sen nor Wagner quite filled the bill at second base. Now with Von Kolnitz ! developing rapidly at third. Groh back , at. second, Herzog at short, and oMH- i witz playing the greatest first baso i ever seen in Cincinnati, the right, com-; bination appears to have been struck. ! The four weeks which the Reds will have at home following their present stay in St. Louis, will give Yon Kol- ; nitz great opportunities for improving : through morning practice, so that the! first of July should see him a finished third sacker. SENATORS GOME BACK Schweitzer's re-organized Senators will play the first game of the season Sunday when they journey to Lewisburg, O. The senators will go up against one of their old pitchers, Harry Wilcoxen. who joined the Ohio team last Sunday, and won his game, holding the fast Greenville nine to a single tally, while were gathering six his team mates Schweitzer believes that with the bunch he has signed he will be able to bae the ' game. !

FIRESTINE ASKS JOB WITH RITTER'S TEAM

Firestine of the New Castle club of the I. S. L. wants to get back with the team. It appears that this player received an offer from the Peru club last week to play the remainder of the season. Accordingly, he left Tommy Ritter's club and played with the Peru aggregation Sunday. For some reason, however, he has intimated to the New Castle management that he would like to have his place back in time to be gin the league season. Tommy will in all probability give him another chance, as he wants him in the line-up if he can depend on him. The New Castle rooters can see nothing to it but that their team is going to cop the bunting.the first year of the Indiana State League, and are already boasting what they are going to do to the Cambridge City outfit in the opening game.
