YOUNGEST BALL TEAM
Only Two or Three Veterans Re-
main on Pirates Roster.
Dreyfuss Decides Only Way to Build
Up Winning Combination Is to Be.
gin at Ground Floor and Re.
make Whole Structure.

The Pirates are the youngest ball
club in the major leagues. in point of
average. There are only two or three
veterans on the entire roster. Most
of the players have not reached their
twenty-fifth year.
Some time ago Barney Dreyfuss de-
cided that the only way to build up a
winning club was to begin at the
ground floor and remake the whole
structure. He decided to get rid of as
many old-tmers as possible, many of
whom were hanging on by their rec.
ords, rather than by their accomplish
ments up to the minute.
He notified his scouts to look about
for young men with u future, and de-
cided to cut out the practice of buying
players with a past, but with small
prospects ahead of them, which had
been popular here during the Clarke
regime.
The result has been that for a year
the Pittsburgh team has been under
going almost complete reconstruction.
Thus far not much has been accom-
plished In the way of showing In
games won, but Dreyfuss and Callahan
feel that now they have the nucleus
around which to build team which
will in turn make a name for itself.
Many of the present members Of the
Buccaneers are spending their first
year In fast company. They have con.
siderable to learn. but It is easier to
teach youngster than to make q
veteran work according to a managers
plan, unless the plan comedies with
the veterans views.

BRITISH HOLD TIGHT
TO NEW TERRITORY
German Counterattacks Un-
able to Dislodge Victors;
Allied Casualties Light.
By Associated Press

Field Marshal Haig has made cam
pletc his latest success and his men
are holding tight to the new positions
taken from the Germans on Thursday.
Crown Prince Rupprccht hurled coun-
terattacks against the new British
lines but the Britishers held on firmly
to their gains. Berlin officially admits
that the British effort was successful
and that the Germans were forced to
evacuate some of their defense in the
vital Ypres salient. but IL attempts to
minimize the Importance OF the ad-
vance. The British losses In the as
sault are reported to have been light.
on the southern end of the western
front the German crown prince has
suffered severe losses in an unusccess-
full attack on Mont Haut in Cham
pagne. Other attacks by the Ger
mans on the Aisne front and near
Verdun were repelled by the French.
There has been no marked fighting
activity on the eastern front.
The Austrians and Italians appar-
emily are resting on the Carso front.
In the Trentino, however, the two
armies have been more active. In
an attack at Gina Sick, in the Dolo-
mite Alps, the Italians gained the
enemy defenses. The impossibility or
securing shelter, however, forced the
Italians to retire.

KEPT PRISONERS IN CAGES

We do not nowadays exhibit cageo
offenders to the gaze of curious pup
lie, but such a form of punishment
was at one time more or less common.
When the three great Anabaptist
leaders were executed in Prussia in
1886. they were exposed to the public
gaze i'm iron cages hung on the walls
of the church of st. Lambert, in Mum
ster-am-Stein.
Catherine III of Russia had her wig
dresser confined in a cage because the
.bigwigs at court complained that the
tonsorial gentleman had big ears, and
Edward l of England caused the
Countess Of Buchan and the sister OF
Robert Bruce to be locked up In two
large iron cages which were hung on
the turret Of the castle of Berwick In
1906.
Alexander the Great had Calls
themes, the Greek philosopher, kept
for seven months in an iron cage be-
cause the latter denied Alexander's di-
vine right to rule, and for eleven long
years the French Cardinal Balue had
a unique opportunity of studying at
first hand what 1t feels like to be q
captive canary, for Louis XI ordered
him to be imprisoned in an iron cage
at I.oches, on the River Indro, for just
that period.
And coming down to more recent
times, there was the huge iron cage,
mounted on wheels, which the Beers
had constructed for the late Cecil
