 Fred Clarkes Pirates are due in town in the morning. Switching from West Baden to spot called Dawson s Springs.

 With the Pirates this year are Ed Konetchy. the heayy-hitting, fine field ing first baseman; Mike Mowrey, that most efficient third basema1, and Bob Harmon, right handler, who ought to be as good as the best. Clarke secured this trio in the big swap he made with St Louis during the win ter

Then, Claude Hendrix and the faithful Mike Simon have ducked over to the Federal League So, with the big three from the Mound City, as well as several other newcomers, including Mike Mitchell. the eXlRed Leg, who was acquired in the midst of the 1913 race the Pirates bid fair to be a bigger attraction than ever this spring.
 It is thought that Barney Dreyfuss. the popular owner of the Pittsburg Club. will also arrive in the party. lnas much as Clarke has made reser- vations fer i5 at the Hotel Eastman it looks as if there must be some Pittsburg boys in the south with the National Leaguers. Also, the Hon. Dave Davies, who generally cracks all training camp records wiring and mailing home talelets every March.
 Incidentally, Honus Wagner. most notable of all diamond luminaries. ia doubtless in the party. Honus may not he as young as ne used to be, but he is still one of Clarkes big assets, and any time the Pirates come along sans the German they went look like the same old team.
