NEEDS SHORTSTOP
TO FILL OUT TEAM
Jimmy Callahan, Pirate Man.
ager, Must Develop Man to
Succeed Wagner.

Jimmy Callahan, boss of the Pirate
crew, has before him the task OF de-
veloping a youngster to fill the shoes
OF Hans Wagner at shortstop, which,
considering the greatness OF the ven
erable Dutchman, is not an easy task
for any man. Yet Callahan's plans
call for Wagner to play first base
this year, and the gaping hole in the
short field must be filled and filled
so well that 1t will be feasible TO
keep Wagner on first.
Though the veteran was popularity
supposed to be slipping as long ago
as three years, he kept right up at
the head OF the league in fielding
his position until last season Nlne-
teen years of big league baseball, not
to mention the other years or dia-
mond work which served to fit him
for the big show, have naturally
sapped his strength.
The flame of his wonderful enthu-
siasm still burns brightly within him,
but his fielding last year lacked some
of the snap and dash which has char
acterized il through the length of his
remarkable career. Wagner Is not
through by any means, but he is con-
serving his strength in his tussle
with Father Time and believes that
a permanent shift to the initial cor
ner of the diamond will enable him
to extend his career few years
longer than would be possible II he
remained at his old post.
Arrangement Failed Last Season.
Wagner first expressed a desire to
make the change last season, and
Callahan moved him over to first
base, benching the light hitting
Wheeler Johnston, since e-released. But
a suitable man to replace Wagner at
short was not available, SO Wagner
was switched back to shortstop, ana
Johnston or Hinchman went to first
base.
This maneuver was repeated several
times, simply for the reason that
none of those assigned to do the
shortstopping was equal to the task
OF hitting the ball in timely fash
ion. The case of Alex Mccarthy is

What il requires to keep up with the
Royals the Continentals have, ii seems.
They needed three games from the
Resolutes last night to gain a tie
with the Royals for first place in the
District League, and they got them.
In accomplishing this the Continen-
tails averaged 600 for the first two
games and achieved a total of LIPS
one Of the few sets of late above the
LOO mark
With $50 as a starter. the Conti-
nentals came back in the second game
with 6O4, and hopes ran high for a
time that they would reach the covet-
ed total OF 500. The best they could
do in the final, however, was 52S.
which won the game for them by a
single pin.
Wright Best Performer.
Charley Wright, topping the Con
tinental lineup, led the team with a
set of 365, while each of his team
mates rolled above his average. Mang-
hum performed capably in the anchor
position, with games OF 123, 123, and
l1O. Will Farrow, jr., oposing Mang-
hum, led the Resolutes with a 1856
total.
Grand Centrals received a bump in

naples in a sensational manner, grab
bing the first two games and losing

Mayhem struck their stride. Naeth
rolled 90 and 1l3, and then saved his
average with 13l.
Corning Gets 325 Set.
Corning and WolstenhOlme were
the stars OF the match. Corning had
strings OF 126, 49,, and 115 for set

no question that shoes such as we are

The world faces leather famine.
Tremendous war demand, ydimin-
