HAS 4 HARD JOB
Many Believe Bezdek Cannot
Revive Pittsburg Pirates.
His Personality, However, May
Work Unexpected Wonders.

New York. July 14-Hag0 Bezdek
has a VANISHED job On Wis mitts as
manager of the Pirates
II IS no cinch TO take hold of a
tau-end team in n1id-seasor and pump
it full of life and pepper. but this is
the task Bezdek has tackled. and he
may surprise the critics by making
good with q vim
There are always a few joy killers
who predict dark things for the fell
low who takes the reins as manager
of losing ball club. He gets about
as much announcement as the Al
lies are giving Won Hindenburg these
days and if he is one OF the kind who
can be discouraged easily ne has about
as much chance of getting by as a
SNOWFALL in pot of boiling oil
He Did Not FaEter.
The Pirate managerial joe this year
looks Just about as big as all out
doors and the material Bezdek inner
tied when he took the wheel was not
calculated to bring joy to any man
ayers heart But Bezdek did not hes
itate when the berth was offered to
him He simply stuck out his Jaw and
went to IT. And he may show the
critics a few things about overhauIfng
a ball club that they have never
dreamed OF
Stranger things have happened in
Will stand behind Bezdek he may be
the man for the permanent job Who
kuow2
Look at the case of Lee Fohl Lee
was appointed manager of the Cfeye-
land Indians to finish out a bad sea-
son No one thought he would stick
as pilot Of the club. But he's still
there. and he has had the Indians in
the lirneIight ever since the owners Of
the club got behind him and handed
him moral and financial support
His Future Chances
Bezdek's job Is practically the same
kind of a Job that Foil tackled sew
better results than his predecessor
with the material on hand this season
he is very liable to be given another
shot at it next year.
One of the main troubles with the
Pirates was the fact that they began
playing ragged and often listIess base
ball. as soon as they found out that
they didn't have the stride necessary
to keep them in the pennant race
They were discouraged. and Callahan
was discouraged. too So the club was
not really doing its best
But Bezdeks personality and his
fighting spirit may work wonders with
the Buccos. and even tho the Pirates
may not be able to regain the ground
they have already lost, the fans in
Pittsburg will be with them If they
can be moulded into a fighting club.
Bezdek gained some valuable ex-
perience in the handling of men as a
baseball and football coach and he
has studied players as a scout for the
P1ttsburg club His fighting qualities
were trained during this football days
with the University Of Chicago, and
while he wore the Maroon he was one
of the greatest backs the Windy City
school ever turned out

Prospectors Usually Deceive
Themselves on Ore
Values

Probably no work which a
has to do is more
liable to error than the methods
of sampling An error lnI
sampling not only deceiveS the
owner OF the property as to it's
value, but often causes a large
expenditure of money 1t was
with the idea of correcting and
standardizing these methods
that the sampling series of bull
letins was written by George K.
Fansett, Mining Engineer OF the
Arizona State Bureau of Mines.
Bulletin No. 81, Sampling
Series No. Il entitled Stamping.
and Estimation Of Gold in Placer
Deposit ," goes into cOnsid-
able detail OF the estimation OF
the gold present and recover
able. The bulletin indicates
and describes the best methods
in use and also is intended to
Initiate the layman into methods
Iof correct sampling.
Buletlin 63, Sampling Series
No. 2, is entitled: "The Samp-
ling of Dumps and Tailings
Heaps" Many things are gen
orally involved in the correct
sampling of dumps and tailings
Ipiles, and there are many cases
where ore too poor to be shipped
to a smelter has caused a dis
tinct loss because of incorrect
sampling returns.
Bulletin sc, Sampling Series
No. 3, is entitled: Sampling
Mineralized Viens." It also
goes into some detail as to the
estimation of ore tonnage in
sight.
Propector and miner should
know how to sample that they
may not deceive themselves.
|The prospective purchaser
should know how to sample
that he may not be deceived.

CHRISTMAS REUNIONS

HOW many families whose menu
III bers have been dispersed and
scattered far and wide In the
restless struggles Of life are on this
day reunited and meet once again in
that happy state of companionship and
mutual good will which is source of
such pure and unalloyed delight and
one SO incompatible with the cares and
sorrows of the world that the religious
belief Of the most civilized nations
and the rude traditions Of the rough
est savages alike number it among the
first joys of a future condition Of ex-
istence provided for the blest and

and how many dormant sympathies
