START In
TO WIN BALL GAMES

No matter where the Pirates finish,
or what may be said of them by any
OF the critics, there is no denying
the fact that they are playing scrap
pier baseball since Hugo Bezdek took
the managing reins.
Prior to the release OF Jimmy CAL
lahan the Pittsburgh club was in a
rut. Cal couldn't drag 'em out of
1t, and they didn't seem capable of
helping themselves. They played rag
ged, down-hearted baseball and they
looked like a club that was expecting
beating every day.
But the difference in them now Is
surprising. Win or lose, they fight
till the. last man Is out, something
they did not do before. and their re-
1uvenated spirits are responsible for
their staging a fifty per cent better
brand Of ball. They recently gave
the Giants some tough battles in a
series at the Polo Grounds, and al
though they didn't win them all, they
taught McGraw's club that they are
not to be fooled with. No club can
snap a finger at the Pirates now and
expect them to roll over and bark at
the sun. They've got some real pep
per out there on the diamond. and
Bezdek is the logical man to blame"

NOT MUCH MONEY
In SALE OF PLAYERS

Philadelphia. Pa. Aug. Send
ing players to the big leagues is
considered by almost every one a
paying proposition. But Walter Nc
Credie, manager OF the Portland
team, of the Pacific Coast League,
says it isn't as big as people think.
McCredie should know, for he has
sent more players to the majors
than any other manager in the p.
c. L.
by the time you carry a young
player around the circuit, paving
his railroad fare and salary, there
isn't such big profit when you sell
him to the majors" declares Nc
Credie.
When you pick a youngster UP he
is not of much use to the club for
the first year. Yet he must be re-
tained IL you want to make a reg
ular ball player out of him. And
1t costs a lot of money to carry a
young player around for seven
months.
I've sent lot OF players to the
majors, but the club hasn't made
so much money on them. When
manager can pick up players like
Guisto and Hoilocher he will make
some money. But that's not so easy
to do"

DRIVE NOT A FLASH.
St. Louis Convinced Dodgers Are
Hitting Real Stride.

st. Louis. Aug. 9.-From now on
for the rest of the current season at
least, the Brooklyn Dodgers will COM
mand a wholesome respect among
Mound City fandom. for they certainly
did not play like a second-division ball
club in most of the games of the
series here. The Dodgers did not look
like the same club that played here
ter. hit the ball harder, performed
with increased spirit and the pitching
was considerably better than when
Robbie's men faced the Cards on the
last occasion.
Now they are in Chicago. where
they begin five-game series with the
Windy City athletes today.
There is likelihood that the Robins
and the Yanks will meet in a post
season series If the Yankees are will
ing to play. This was decided at a
meeting of the Robins to devise ways
and means for raising money for the
Soldier Boys Fund of the Brooklyn
team.
1t is thought that the Yankees also
would be willing to devote their share
OF the receipts to the war relief.
The Brooklyn players voted to turn
over the fund to the American Red
Cross IL IT should not be needed for
the relief of the Brooklyn players or
their dependents during the war. 1t
Is figured that a considerable sum
could be raised by a series of con-
tests between these teams DESPITE
their poor playing this season.

CALLS TY GREATEST.
PLAYER In BASEBALL

Harry Davis, Connie Macks lieu
tenant, is of the opinion that Ty
Cobb is the greatest ball player who
ever wore uniform. Quoth Harry:
I have watched Cobb with inter-
est. Now and then he has a rival,
but he is like Caruso-rivals come and
go, and Cobb is still king. No hit
ter was ever so good as Cobb. No
man was ever faster than Cobb. No
outhelder ever covered the earth as
he does. No man ever ran the bags
like Cobb. No man ever Travelled the
pace that Cobb has done for ten
years. There is only one Cobb.
How much longer can he 60? I
don't know. I was my best at Is.
and Cobb looks good to me for at
least five more seasons of top work.
don't think he will play one game
after he starts to slip. He has told
me he was ready to retire the day
that Father Time called him back to
the field"

RED CROSS FOOTBALL,

New York, Aug. 9.-while nothina
was said at the conference of the
National Collegiate Association al
washington last week, there is a de-
finite idea that football in the fall
will be employed in some way or
other to raise funds for patriotic
purposes. This does not mean that
collections will be taken In the stands
az was the case last year and the
year before, but that contests will be
arranged. proceeds of which will be
donated to some such fund as that of
the Red Cross.
Sol Metzger. the Washington and
Jefferson coach. has been working on
the idea. One suggestion is that a
post-season series between teams
composed of "All-Eastern. or ALI
American Players" be played. There
may be no doubt that games of the
sort would prove attractive and reap
rich harvest Of money
