PITTSBURGH BEST
TEAM Since 1909
So Thinks Fred Clarke, Man
ager of the Pirates, Regard
ing This Years Club

Fred Clarke, manager Of the
Pirates, when asked about his team
last week. said.
In past years / have refrained
from rushing into print with boost
for my team. preferring to allow re-
suits achieved on the playing field to
speak for themselves; nor is it my
present intention to boost the Pirates
and claim a pennant and the worlds
championship for them. But in
response for an expression of
opinion, / feel justified in saying that
in my mind Pittsburgh is this season
an outfit that will be in the running
all the time.
"In all my experience as baseball
manager and player. never have
seen a more balanced team than the
one we have at present. every posi-
ton appears to be filled by an
earnest, conscientious man, and my
managerial cares and worries this
season will be fewer than they have
been for long time.
"The only thing that impresses it
self most forcibly upon me Is the
earnestness and willingness Of every
man in the squad. There is peace
and harmony, and there is an esprit
de corps that cannot fail to achieve
good results.
1--WE have got away to good start
and ! believe our ballplaying will inn
prove as the season grows older. The
pitchers are holding up their end
nobly, and the men in the other de-
partments are doing about all that
is required of them.
las far as | am able to ascertain
now. there is not a weak spot in the
| lineup. OF course, something may
| develop, but barring accidents and
/ sickness, | believe we will continue
/ to go we'll. No one can read the
future. This being the case, must
content myself with saying that | am
satisfied with the team and must
reiterate my earlier statement that
the Pirates are absolutely the besl
since 1909"

OPENING U. S., 4-3
Written for THE EVENING JOUR
NAL BY James T. Crozer

You cut that Jersey Melon. Jimmy
And surely did IL nice.
Il pleased me much that our boys
Did get that extra slice.
l felt triae fearful though
When play was nearly done,
That those New Jersey gentlemen
Would come out number one.
Their Coaoher at the 3rd base bag
Did have the Jennings pass.
Except he did not shout e HAW,
Stoop down and pull some grass
Mahaffey got an awful crack
And went down quick enough
To make me feel he was knocked out,
He surely is the stuff.
For when a man gets such a blow
And plays on all the same.
| know that all will say with me,
He certainly is game.
I'm glad the fans turned out so we'll
To see that opening game.
And trust when playing days are home
They'll always do the same.
I think you have a winning team,
II looks that way to me,
/ hope that when the season ends
Again you'll Champions be.
Just get your practice right along
And all together pull,
And each Chick try his very best
To hit that pretty Bull
II wishes could accomplish this,
These come from all your friends,
That you will have the pcnnant SURE
When Base Ball season ends.
