BARNEY DREYFUSS-
A Credit Man Who Deserves the
 Name.

Barney Dreyfuss had to be taught English, but nobody had to tutor him in the business language, which is the same in all ages, nations and creeds. Barney was born with it-I the Business Sense-which, in his case, was the sixth, because he had all the others at birth, needing only an intelligent direction to develop them. Today Mir. Dreyfuss is at the head of the Pittsburg team, which everybody in or out of the most adult city in Pennsylvania is willing to concede is the quality when it comes to major league ranking. But Dreyfuss' proud elevation has not always been.
 Paducah, where a great many of the talented Kentucky gentlemen come from, was the scene of Herr Dreyfuss' early endeavor, which was along educative lines preparatory to his later activities. At this period MT D. was as good a mixer as now.
 Possessed of natural amiable quail fications, the little Paducan became popular in his home section. and when he branched out to the pO-
 
 vile distillery, his likeableness stuck to him, and he drew around him a rare good sort. fellows who knew good cheer. and good life generally, and good ball players. Among them were Harry Pulliam. friendly youth, who came to a great partiality for the credit man. and for whom Barney developed sincere affection. Young Pulliam is said to have been Drey- fuss instructor in the intricacies of the English language, and for this service Dreyfuss rewarded him greatly When Dreyfuss became interested in practical way in the game of games. it was Harry Pulliam he chose for preferment. and there prob ably is little chance for argument in the statement that Dreyfuss made Pulliam a baseball magnate just as Pulliam gave Dreyfuss a better un- derstanding of conditions than he was likely to have acquired had he not met the brilliant young man, whose career ended SD Unhappily.
 At all events Pulliam and Dreyfuss became the popular pair m Louis vile. So skillfulIy did the new eX- ecutive, Dreyfuss. fill the post that he became topic in baseball cir cIes. and it was little wonder that after his Louisville experiences he felt himself qualified for even larger fields. and these he found in Pitts burg.
 The first year of his officiate, Bar ney Dreyfuss spent in getting ac-
 
 and perfecting his playing organiza- ton. After that he was ready and after that it was PittSburg all the way. and the team that had never won championship before developed the habit with surprising suddenness and amazing regularity.
 Dreyfuss placed the field under the mana cement of Fred Clarke. He en- trusted the pitching to sam LeeVer' Deacon Phillips and others, and -hiS particular pair has been with nm ever since. Also he carried on the nav-roU a genius billed simply as "J Wagner. SS" You may per chance. have heard the name. Pitts burg won the big honor that year and the year following, and aga'n at q somewhat later date, and that makes four championships for one little man. And that wasn't a'L TO properly quarter the champions ana their friends, the fans. MT Dreyiuss put up a park that they do say IS the grandest arrangement of its sort ever fashioned for the furthering of sport.
 Considerable achievement for the Paducan, yes?
 Tomorrow-Harry Hermann. whose loyalty to his home town brought | it's own reward.
