BY Jack Veiock,

New York, July 10-Hugo Be2dek
has mansized job on his mitts as
manager of the Pirates,
1t is no cnch to take hold of
tail.end team in mid-season and pump
it full il life and pepper, but this is
the task Bezdek mas tackled. and he
may surprise the critics by making
good with a vim.
There are always few job killers
who predict dark things for the fel
low who takes the reins as manager
of a losing ball club, He gets about
as much encouragement as the Al
lies are giving Won Hindenhurg these
days, and if he is one of the kind
who can be discouraged easily he has
about as much chance off getting by
as SNOWFALL in a pot off boiling OIL
The Pirate managerial job this year
looks just about as big as all out
doors. and the material Bczdek in
herited when he took the wheel was
not calculated to bring Joy to any
managers heart But Bezdek did not
hesitate when the berth was offered
to him He simply stuck out his
jaw and went to it. And he may
show the critics few thing about
overhauIing ball club that they
have never dreamed of.
Stranger thing have happened in
baseball, and If the Pirate owners
will stand behind Bezdek, he may be
the man for the permanent job Who
knows?
Look at the case Of Lee Foil. Lee
was appointed manager of the Cleve-
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 has had the Indians in
the limcight ever since the owners of
the club got behind him and handed
him moral and financial support.
Bezdek's job is practically the same
kind of Job that Fohl tackleh sew
eral years ago And If Bezdek gets
better results than his predecessor
with the material on hand this season
he Is very liable to be give another
shot at il next year

Layout VIII Help Minors.

The suspension of schedules by a
number of the minor sleagues Is prob
ably the best thing that could have
happened for them under existing con
ditions
Population in the minor league
cities is comparatively small if you
count the baseball fans alone, and in
was time the tendency to conserve
finances is greater in the small cities
and towns than In cities Of the first
class. In addition to this, the base
ball population in the larger cities is
large enough to keep a ball club run
ming at a small profit
For the lack of this the minor
league magnate is always up against
it when times become panicky, and
without baseball for the remainder Of
1917 and probably throughout the
season of 1918, if the war continues
the minor league fans will have time
to recover their balance and will be
baseball hungry when the parks are
opened once more.

Pirates was the fact that they began
playing ragged and often listless
baseball, as soon as they found out
that they didn't have the stride neccs-
sary to keep them in the pennant race
They were discouraged. and Callahan
was discouraged, log. So the club was
not really doing its best
But Bezdek's personality and his
fighting spirit may work wonders
with the Buccos, and even though the
Pirates may not BE able to regain the
ground they have alreody lost, the
fans in Pittsburgh will be with them
If thcy can be moulded into a fight
ing club
Be1dek gained some valuable eX
perience in the handling OF men as a
baseball and football coach, and he
has studied players as scout for the
Pittsburgh club. His fighting quail
ties were trained during his football
days with the University of Chicago
and While he wore the Maroon he waS
one of the greatest backs the Windy
