By GEORGE McMANUS WIFE AN’ SEVEN i HUGHIE CRITZ MUST KNOW SUMTHIN' Hughie Critz, acrobatic second baseman of the Cincinnati Reds, who comes up with hard hit balls in a fashion most annoying to the Reds’ opponents, was born Way Down South so cloge to the mud- dy waters of the Mississippi river that he must get homesick every time he hears the song about “Ol' Man River.” He's much on the order of the song for he “Don’t say nothin’ but must know sum- thin"—about making double plays. He goes “rolling along” figuring in two-ply killings at frequent in- tervals. The Mississippi boy hasu't par- ticipated in all the Cincinnati double plays, but he and his shortstopping side-partner, Horace Ford, have been conspicuous in a great majority. In their first 40 games the Reds made 60 double plays. If they continue to keep anywhere near this killing pace they will make a new record for the season. The mark they have to beat is 182, set by Washington in 1923. The Reds are co-hold ers with the Pirates for a record number in a single game, six in 1925 against the Giants. If Hughie Critz keeps his health, Jack Hend- ricks’ boys may approach 200 for the season. Tne unassuming but aggressive collegian has shown what a dif- ference one player makes by his work for the Reds this season. Last year he was at outs with the management and did not report until the season was on. When he finally hit his stride it was too late. This year he reported at Orlando training camp with the early birds and between playing ball in the morning and after- noon and fishing in the twilight he was in great shape at the start. There will be Hughie for the player trophy if Cincinnati gets anywhere in the race. At the mo- ment the Reds are not taking any considerable amount of dust from any of the National league clubs. votes cast for most valuable AGE OF JACK QUINN NOT IMPORTANT Jack Quinn, who admits that he will be 45 years of age just after the Fourth of July double- header, must have laughed in his sleeved if he heard a remark by a baseball “expert” at the train- ing camp of the Athletics. A group of “visiting firemen,” at Fort Myers to look over the Ath- letics and guess at their pros- pects for 1928, sat on a bench en- joying a beaming Florida sun and speculated about, pitchers and such. “And there's Old Jack Quinn,” sald one, after naming Grove, Wal- berg, Rommel, Elmke, Orwoll and Powers. ‘“He's pretty spry for an old man. He'll finish a lot .of games and save some of them maybe.” The prediction was made with- out consulting Quinn, whose name is Picus, although his name does not make any more difference than his age the way he is act- ing in his declining years. “Old Jack” hds been one of Connie ‘Mack's real pitching stars. He went the whole way to win a 13| inning game from Washington, his fitth of the season against one defeat. The old man broke up the game with a single when the bases were opportunely filled. Jack was breaking into the American league with the New York Yankees in' 1909 when Gro- ver Cleveland Alexander was play- ing his first professional game with Galesburg in the Nlinois- Missouri league. ed six years before at Connells- ville in the Pennsylvania ‘State Jeague and worked his way up with stops at Macon, Ga., and Richmond, Va. Since then he has ‘served two terms with the Yan- kees, and thrown for the White Red Sox and Athleties. fn 14 years in the majors be ‘has won 137 games and lost 125. Jack had start: HARTFORD SHOULD LIKE VIC HANSON Vic Hanson, the great all-round athlete of Syracuse university, did a good turn for baseball in Hart- | ford this spring.. After Vic sign- ed with the Yankees he suggest- | ed that ‘he had a friend who was | a ball player, too, and possibly the Yankees would like to look | him over. The Yankees would | and did. The friend was Bill Eiseman, a “full grown catcher, who will be a good hitter some day. He needed experience so Manager Huggins shipped him to Hartford to get it. There he hits a home run every once and a while and seems ‘to be doing bet- ter than his buddy, Vic Hanson, now with Syracuse in the New York-Pennsylvania league. —_—————— GAMES WEDNESDAY Pacific Coast League Oakland 2; Hollywood 3.
