PIRATES ARE OUT
TO GET BRANsFIELD

Pittsburg, Aug. 22.-The Pirates are
after Kitty Bransfield. who is now
only doing utility duty for the Phil
lies. but Manager Clarke is confident
that he would win the pennant with
Bransfield at first base for the Pr
rates. Kitty played with the three
best teams the Pirates ever had, not
even excepting the worlds champion
ship team Of 1909, back in 1901, 1902
and 1903, and was traded to the Phil
lies because he had little trouble
with another player. That trouble
has been patched up since Kitty has
been a member Of the Phillies, and
Clarke is confident that everything
would go along smoothly If he had
Kitty on first again.
Strange to say, the Pirates have
never had good first baseman since
they parted with Bransfield, and two
pennants were lost because the team
was 30 weak in this position, and can
blame the loss of the present pen
nant, If 1t Is lost, to weakness in the
same position. When Bransfield was
a member Of the Pirates, and during
his first few years with the Phillies
he was known as one of the most
dangerous men in the National league
at bat when runners were on bases.
Kitty still has lots of good baseball
left In him, but the Phillies can find no
use for him except as a substitute
with Luderus playing such brilliant
baseball.
President Fogel and Manager Doom
could do Bransfield a good turn by
allowing the Pirates to have the vet
eran. Should Pittsburgh win the
pennant Kitty would come in for a
share of the worlds series money.
The Pirates have tried Hunter, Flynn
and McKechnie at the initial corner
this season, but they have all been
failures, and 1t is thought that Brans-
field outclasses the bunch of them de-
spite the fact that he is many years
older,

this bereavement aggravating the con-
dttion Of the wife and mother. Ac-
cordtng to present advices, it will be
some time before the Corsairs will
again have the benefit of Simon g
services.
Gibson has been working for weeks
under physical handicap. It had
been noticed that he was not travelling
at full speed. but aside from Manager
Clarke and President Dreyfuss, there
was none who knew what was wrong.
Gibby isn't one of the complaining
kind and when he found his ankle and
arm to be out of kelter he said moth
ing.
Manager Clarke's only hope is that
pilot Mike Kelly of the st. Paul club
will permit Billy Kelly, Marty o.
Toole's catcher, to report to the Pitts
burg club at once. Kelly is badly
needed and according to the agree
ment reached with the Saints when
the purchase money was paid, the
much touted backstop is to report
just as soon as his services are
found to be needed. Now they are
needed, and If Manager Kelly keeps
his part of the agreement, the catcher
may be expected to join the Pirates
during the Philadelphia series next
week.
Gibson, in the meantime, will keep
going as best he can. He said today
that both arm and ankle occasion him
a great deal of bother, and that he
would be glad to enjoy short rest.
But" he added, "as long as 1 am
needed, I'm going to keep going-I'll
keep going until can't go any fur
ther."
OToole would be glad to have his
catcher show up. Marty is getting
ready for work and when he pitches
his first game for Pittsburg he would
rather throw to Kelly than to any one
else. This is owing to the fact that
he wants to get away as we'll as pos
sible and because Kelly knows his
style and signals better than does
Gibson.
"still," said Marty. "I know that if
l was pitching to Gibson, everything
would go right. believe Hack is one
of the greatest receivers who ever
stood behind batter, and after we
get acquainted little better, we're
going to travel we'll together"

Pittsburg, Aug. 22.-Fred Clarke of
the Pirates seems to have the right
idea about his $22.50O pitcher who has
