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-timers 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 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 a 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 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 a youngster than to make a
veteran work according to managers
plan, unless the plan comedies with
the veterans views.

back with his sack still full.
