PfTTSBURGH, Sept. 25.--More than
one major league club will start its 1920
campaign under ONE other leader than

certain that the ~pfttsburgh Pirates viii

fut into which they fell when Fred
Gaarife retired TO his broad Kansas
acres, and fans and critics h~ereabouts
are alike convinced that he will not be
re-engaged when his present term ex-
Dires.
Bezdek came into the league with a
flock of new- tangled notions, and not
all OF them have PANIED out as he
expected them to. He believed that al

Regarded as Contenders.

The Pirates were highly regarded as
possible pennant ~contenders when they
started their 1919 campaign, but coon
fell by the wayside and Bezdek's stock
ieh with them. The season was scarce
iy half over when rumors Of his i'm
pending retirement found wide and
ready circulation. He left the club for
r brief scouting expedition and his abb
sence from the post of command was
responsible for a report that Max Carey
mad been appointed to succeed him.
Bezdek returned, however, and by re-

it's failure to do so,

No Candidate at Hand.

There is at present no favored candl-
date for the berth which Bezdek Is eX-
pected to vhcate. Max Carey handled
the club during Bezdek's m~ldseason alb
sence, but II is understood that Owner
Barney Dreyfuss does not relish the idea
O. giving the managerial reins into. his
permanent keeping, George Cutshaw
has also been mentioned In connection
with the management OF the Pirates, but
Dreyfuss has never said anything to
indicate that he Is seriously considering
the former Brooklyn Robin as Bezdek's
successor.
A belief that George Gibson ma be
asked to assume the management of the
club, for which he caught for SO many
years, has lately been gaining ground
hereabouts. Mooney" had charge OF
the Toronto club Of the international
league this season and, all things CON
sldered, did very well with 1t. His club
was nothing like as strong as the Balti-
more Orioles, but played fast, smart
quite considerable OF a battle through
out the greater part OF the campaign.
Gibson Still Popular.
Gibson, moreover, Is still a popular
idol among the Pittsburgh fans. They
still remember him rs he was in 1909.
when he was easily the most efficient
catcher In the National league. He was
slow even then and did not hit as web
as any one of several rivals. But he
knew how TO catch and did as much
as any other member OF the club to win
a National league pennant and a worlds
championship for the Pirates that year.
Gibson hasn't caught a National
league game An several years now, but
he has never permitted the game to get
ahead Of him, When he had outlived
his usefulness at Pittsburgh he was
sold to the Giants and was MeGraw's
head coach and chief of staff for a
couple of years, He has thus kept
abreast of the times and II appointed
manager Of the Pirates will have but
fans are pulling hard for him TO land
and the critics appear TO be very favor
ably inclined toward his candidacy.

J. 5. GRAND JURY |ADIC CTSFIVE IN HAY SALE CASE
They Are Charged With Conspiracy To Defraud The Governm e n t. Wealthy Citizens Ready To Go On Bond

Returning indictments against AL fred J. Peters, wealthy Tempe hay and grain merchant; Vernon Peters, his son; Joseph N. Jaggers, former in- spector of the Salt River Valley Hay association; Paul B. Aepli and Cliff lord Smith, the federal grand jury yesterday made it's final report to Judge Neterer.
 There were four indictments in all. one including all five defendants who are charged with conspiracy to de- fraud the government in connection with the purchase of hay for military camps. The date of the alleged con- spiracy is given as from December 1, 1918, until May 1S, 1919. The re- maining indictments bear on the same contract with the government the different defendants being charged with making false claims and invoices and of making false and fraudulent statements in claims.
 Plead Not Guilty
 The report of the grand jury was not entirely unexpected in the cases of Peters and Jaggers who offered no defense a month ago when given pre- liminary hearing before United States Commissioner Henke and were bound over to the federal grand jury. The commissioner held the defendants on the testimony of Smith and Aepli who were in the employ of Peters at the time he held the government con

Arthur Woods, assistant to the secretary of war for the citation issued to employers meet ing such conditions.
 The commendable record of this company was brought to the attention of the chamber of commerce here yes- terday, and follows in part:
 Approximately 22S men left the company's employ for military service; 116 of these men have recently returned and have been given their old positions. In addition to these, the company has employed 13 men who left for military service from the neighboring com- munity and 56 ex-soldiers who applied as total strangers.

states. An assurance that the coun- ties of the state were ready and will ing to act in harmony with the state highway department was made by A. F. Jones, secretary of the Maricopa county highway commission, who ex- plained careful planning was neces- sary before Maricopa county could be- gin actual constructive work, but once specifications had been definitely de- cided upon, the benefits would soon begin to be felt.
 The value of good roads from an investment standpoint was pointed out by c. A. Whitmore of the California highway commission.
 T know of many cases where good roads have caused. property to double in value" he said, and as one reason for this cited the advantages of having a means by which farm produce could be transported to the market promptly and profitably.
 Party Departs
 Those attending the luncheon were Governor Thomas E. Campbell, Col. Ed F. Fletcher, c. A. Whitmore, N. B. Darlington, George c. Mansfield, Thomas Maddock, Dwight B. Heard, c. H. Akers, c. c. Green. A. F. Jones, F. w. Griffin, H. D. McVay, Donald Dun bar and Harry Welch.
 The members of the California high way boosting party left Phoenix soon after the luncheon for Prescott and the Grand Canyon. They carried with them several boxes of cactus candy and some selected grapefruit as re- minders that Phoenix has palate rempters which are worth a trip over rough roads to secure.

186 VESSELS TIED UP
Great Accumulation of Freight on Piers Results from Strike of Fire men, Oilers and Watcr-TcnderS.

New York, July 16.-Failure of coastwise steamers to leave port on schedule time owing to the strike of firemen, oilers and water-tenders, has resulted in a great accumulation of freight on the piers of the lines af- fected. It was estimated 300 vessels engaged in coastWise trade were tied up here by the strike. Captain Frank s. Ferris, managing agent of the United States Shipping board, prepared lists which showed that 1S6 vessels WereNtied up, although he de- clared that 76 of this number were awaiting repairs.
 Police guards, including mounted men, were placed along the water front today as a precaution against a renewal of the disorder which oc- cured last night when several hun dred strikers attempted to force from several ships men who had refused to strike. The strikers replied to this move by reinforcing their pick cts, who covered the terminals of all of the large coastwise companies as we'll as some of the piers of the trans Atlantic lines.

Old Home Week at Same Time,
 Beginning on 10th

The tirSta meeting of the general committee which will handle the old Home Week and Welcome Home cclc- bratiOn to the local COnQucrors of Prussianism, was held yesterday aft ernoon in the office of Mayor George A. Quiglcy. The meeting resulted in the start or the work of getting the maze of business which cOnfrontS the committee in working order. If the manner in which the committee set out yesterday to get the "ball rolling" IS a criterion, the New Britain folk and the war heroes are to be treated to one of the greatest celebrations in the history of the Hardware City,
 It was decided after careful atten- t1on had been given to other events in September to hold the celebration dur ing the week commencing Monday, September 1 ,. The affair will open with a bang, a big civic parade fea- turing the opening festivities. During the week there will be athletic con- tests, baseball games, fireworks and carnivals and other entertainment features. It is planned to hold the reception 10 the soldiers on the clos ing day, making it strictly a military pageant
 The committee elected Frederick S. Chamberlain, treasurer of the com mlttee. Postmaster William r. De- laney, the A. A. U. commissioners, has been named chairman of the athletic committee. A. P. Marsh will be in charge of the floats committee. The committee consisting of members of the Chamber of Commerce and the public amuSements commission which recently engineered the successful Fourth of July fireworks display, will be in charge of the coming fireworks display.
 The committee will meet again at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon when more definite details will be worked out The coming venture is one that will need the united support of every pub lic-spirited citizen, and the committee feels that in view of this, the residents of this city should respond with a fervored spirit in assuring the success of the venture.
