uses no other one than his own which is largely and anything but yet he has worked so hard and pushed himself so much that he has become the common or basic by which baseball people measure the degree of competitiveness in every other player Pete Rose first showed up in the Reds camp here as a second baseman He was given no real chance of making the ball club because popular little Don Blasingame had been operating acceptably at that position seven was only had enjoyed one of his best seasons the year previous and already had been penciled in as the Reds regular second baseman for the coming
