The Reds, young and old, ave hustling to-day as they have never hustled before, and, with the excep- tion of Red Ame, are telling tales of weird and strange doings down at Alexandria, La. Having been teammate of Herzog on the Giants, those things are Rot new to “Red.” Old fellowa who have heretofore showed yp with kinky arms, spayin legs and a little excess of fat are as trim and fit as*race horses. They speak of Herzog as a wonder in a training camp, and say it witb sin- cerity. “I have been with the Reds on eight spring training trips,” said one of the baseball writers, who has predicted championships for Cincinnat! for many years, “but nobody has ever shown us anything like Herzog did at Alexandria. Not only did it open our eyes in amazement, but it has given us some real new stuff to send back home—something that Cin. cinnat! fans never heard of.
