out of the quicksands No one expects Luke Sewell to lift the 1950 Reds into any pennant but If he ran keep them out of last place he deserves at least one cheer The Reds are now linked near the bottom with the Cuba and Tlrates In a desperate struggle last fall they beat th'e Cubs by a single game to escape eighth place SOME ‘The general opinion seems to be that the Reds will have another hard fight for the cellar with the Cubs” Luke Sewell tells you “That could happen and there is also a good chance that we can be better than thut For example just suppose a young fellow by the name of Ewell Blackwell begins winning again That not only could happen— I think it will happen So does Blackwell who looks better than he has looked in some years You can see what a difference a winner would make

teams— trying to continued Sewell look ahead” “We’ve finished in seventh place now and we two years running hope to move up this year We are stronger than we were a year ago but that seems to be a line several other teams are using Certainly will be betChicago and Pittsburgh ter and they are our closest rivals Lou Klein will help our infield which is a pretty fair one We need more punch in the
