PIRATES CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY.
The Pittsburg Pirates viii cele-
brate today the 32d birthday OF their
club, as II was on April 80, 1887, that
the Smoky City aggregation climbed
aboard the National league ship. The
management OF that league had ex-
perimented with clubs in Hartford.
Syracuse. Troy, Worcester and other
minor league cities before they saw
the possibility Of success in the west
ern Pennsylvania metropolis. Since
then other clubs have come and gone.
but the Pirates have stuck By the
ship.
Pittsburg had for its league ball in
1877, when the International assOcia-
tlon was organized with clubs in q
number OF American and Canadian
towns Pittsburg's pioneer profess
sional club was called the Alleghanys.
The city first got on the major league
map in lSs3, when the American as
ISOLATION was launched with clubs in
Pittsburg. Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Cincinnati, St Louis and Louisville.
PittsburE didn't succeed in landing
the pennant in either the Interna-
tional or America associations, and It
remained for the National leaguers
10 bring home the nag.
During their first six annums the
Puratcs were a humble crew and
satisfied with second division berths.
IN 1898 they made a noise like PEN
nant contenders. and finished second

appeared in Pirate uniforms-Pitts-
burg finished second, and in 1901 the
Pirates breezed out in front Fred
Clarke's great machine captured three
straight pennants. and repeated the
trick In 1903. From that time on and
until about 1911 the Pirates were
always in the running, and for IL
