All-Stars. while it is expected thai
Manager Bezdek Will send in one OF
his first string hurlers against the
local aggregation.
The two defeats that the AIl-Stars
handed to Notre Dame has the Pitts
burgh manager a trifle worried, for
II there is anything a bis league
team hates. it is to be beaten by ar
amateur team. The ability OF the
local team Is we'll known, and IL
would not be at all surprising if
they slipped a win over on the Buc-
cancer crew. Much depends upon
the pitcher OF the All-Stars, and IL
he can hold the National league
batsmen in check. there are enough
sure hitters on the South Bend team
TO push over one or two runs.
The lineup of the All-Stars will

dams were defeated by the Pirates
by a score Of &c 1. Earl Cooper
pitched for the Pirates and was
nicked for six hits. Louie Wolf. of

down with four hits.
While the Pittsburgh National
league team did not win the Nation
al league pennant last season, they
surely did give the leaders a scare,
and in doing so managed to cop off
three or four league records.
Billy SouthwOrth annexed the bat
ting championship; the team stole
more bases than any other team in
major league ball, for the Pirates
are sure speed merchants; and also
led the National league in sacrifice
hits, while Capt Scoops" Carey
again carried away the base steal
ing honors. not only OF the National
league, but also topped the record
Cf the best runner in the American
league, who was George Sisler. Carey
stole IS bases, while Sisters best
was As, and this despite thu fact
that the American league flier has
all the best of it over a base stealer
in the National, as the American
league umpires are much more
strict in calling a balk on a pitcher.
while in the National the pitchers
are given much more latitude, which
makes it harder for a. base stealer to
get much of a lead. This year the
National league is going TO be more
strict, too, in watching their pitch
ers, so that Carey should do better
than ever in the 1919 season.

interested in Max Carey. or Scoops"

here, as he is a South Bend product.
