Pirate Leader Elated
With Teams Training

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 10
"All I ask for now is good weather for
the next thirty days, and then better
weather after that" was the very mod
est demand of Fred Clarke, the Bucca-
neer pilot, at the close of the fourth
week of the 1911 training season. The
Pirate leader was in high spirits. and
was almost kittenish during the even
ing fanfest of his crew. 1t was diff
cult to induce him to talk seriously
about the prospects of the Corsairs. but
ne uld say that the training season was
the most satisfactory in all his expert
ence, and that he never felt more hope
full on the eve of the opening Of a
championship season.
I'm glad l don't feel any better
about the prospects and about what we
have gone through" he said, because
II l did l might be tempted to break
my rule of never claiming champion
ship at the beginning Of a season
The old players are in exceptionally
good condition. They show as much
pepper as II they were just breaking
into the big league. don't they? Well,
if they are going right, we will have a
good year for, the recruits are going
10 hold up their end. The form dis
played by the old pitchers is partic-
ularly gratifying.
Il still have some me>. TO place, but
am in no hurry about n. / expect to
reduce the corps OF fingers to ten men
after the season is fairly under way,
but there is no particular reason why
it should be done now
Il am going to admit that I do not
think any clIb in major league base
ball will start the season in better con-
dition than the Pirates, and that be-
lieve we have shade on all Of them
And when 1 admit that I am forfeiting
my right to offer any excuse II we fail

But, as a matter of grim fact. we
have been told that 1t will rain We'd

terrible threat He says that a rain

the water sprites care nothing what

Yes, the opening may have to be

RICHMOND LIKELY
TO GET BUNTING
IN SHORT time
McAleer Will Notify Team In
Few Days If He Can Part.
With Third Baseman.
WOULD BE ON BENCH
! MOST OF THE TIME
Kid Elberfeld Glad Tannehill Will
Have Chance With Gin
cinnati Reds.

Dave Bunting, the Ufsinus co1legian.
now a member of the Nationals, will
likely be sent to Richmond. in the Vir-
ginia League. in few days.
The Richmond management has been
seeking for two weeks to get some final
word as to Bunting. and McAleer will
notify them in a day or so.
Bunting shows plenty of class around
that third bag, his one weakness being
tenderness about putting the ball on
the runner coming into the bag. How
ever, this fault can be quickly remedfed,
and he is bound to appear again In the
big show.
Not for any weakness is Bunting be-
Ing let go TO Richmond. but rather that
there Is no room for him with the Ma
tlonals. With Germany Schaefer and
Wild, Conroy on the job to fill in wher-
ever there may be need in the infield,
Bunting would stand small chance Of
getting into game in the big show
He would be a bench-warmer. pure and
simple.
The lad wants to play ball. and has a
wise head on his young shoulders. He
realizes that a season in the Virginia
League will do him more good than a
season on the Nationals bench. After
nnlsh1hg the campaign with Richmond
he will be brought back TO Washing
ton. and may be used in some of the
closing battles of the season.
Jesse Tannehill is one good pitcher,
and I'm glad to see him getting a
chance with Clark Griffith, in Cincin-
natl" says Kid EIberfeld. the scrappy
little thirdsacker of the Nationals and
once team mate of the southpaw
twirler
"Tanny asked Griffith for chance
to show that he could come back and
'Grif' gave it to him. Jesse showed
him, too. The old boy has world of
class when IL comes to hurting and !
wouldn't be surprised to see him go
through the season with the Reds.
Even If Tarnehill doesn't go through
the season in the box He might make
good man in the outfield on account
of his hitting. Jesse Is good man TO
go up in a pinch and just you watch
out to see his name in the batting order
as a pinch hitter
Doc Ralston, who was sent from At
lanta to the Columbus American Asso-
citation team by Jimmy McAleer, Is not
playing regularly. but on his first ap-
pearance as a pinch hitter, slammed
out much needed single against the
Detroit Tigers. ''Sambo' couldn't seem
to get going while at Atlanta, but said
when he left that he hoped to prove
before the middle of the summer that
his smuggling in the o. and P. League
wasn't any joke
