For the last eight years Bezdek has
been Pittsburgh's baseball scout in
the west and in Canada, and his in
telligent efforts in this line caused
Dreyfuss to turn to him in the pres
ent emergency. He has never played
league baseball, but appeared with
semi-pro teams in Chicago and after
ward combined, with considerable
success the duties of football and
baseball coach of college teams. He
first met Dreyfuss nine years ago at
Hot Springs, Ark. The Pirates were
training there and Bezdek waspcoach-
ing the University of Arkansas base
ball team, which played an exhibition
with the Pirates at Little Rock.
| Bezdek's team put up such a good
game on that occasion that they were
congratulated for their knowledge of
inside, baseball by Fred Clarke, then
manager of the Pirates. There were
several players on the Arkansas team
that Clarke wanted to sign when col
lege closed. and Dreyfuss on the spot,
engaged Bezdek as a scout. He has
been at it ever since.
