Some managers are hard to ap-

one of them. OF course. there are times
when 1t is out of place for player to

seems to the player to be valuable

Fred Is a man who VIII listen with
interest to such suggestions. He never
processes to know so much that he
could not learn more and he even asks
his men for their opinions sometimes.
That is one of the many reasons why
his players like him, and 1t often gives
them more confidence in themselves.

team in my career than ] do about the
Pittsburg club this spring. The out
field, the infield and the catching de-
partment are all that anybody could
wish 1t is. therefore, entirely up to the
pitchers and little more good weather
will steady them down wonderfully. In
last Fridays game all that was the
matter with me was inability to work
for full 4 was so fatigued that
| should have mentioned it to Manager
Clarke, but l dislike to do so and the
result was that a little later | was all
In and had to retire. The pitchers will
all be able to go the route shortly, and
then | believe Pittsburg will uphold the
high opinion of the team that is being
held by good judges all over baseball
dom.
1T looks to me as though this team
will finish in front unless all the pitch
ers get killed. Those who are expecting
Adams to have a splendid season, will
not be disappointed unless something
unforeseen occurs. Babe never was in
better health or condition. OF course,
we can tell more about 1t after our first
trip east. but I predict right now that
we are going to win this pennant by
not less than 8 games
