game at second and we also have
Red Shannon to put there. I have
heard of reports that one or two
other players would follow Dugan
to LEBANON. I hope they do. if they
are in that mood.
1T is extremely difficult to satisfy
the modern ball player. We are
charged with paying small salaries
but it is not true, and a player soon
finds that out when he goes to another
club in the big leagues. The trouble
is that we sgn players at their own
terms and at the time they say they
are thoroughly satisfied and will play
their heads off for US. Then in a
couple of months they suddenly de-
eide that they are not satisfied and

A small incident in the ninth inning
OF yesterdays victory over the
Brownies. 3 to !. illustrates certain
characteristics OF George McBride's
leadership. 1t showed just what the
veteran was doing down there on the
field in the middle of what threat
ened to become a "croosial" situa-
tion.
Lief Erickson, who had performed
nobly all through the hot afternoon.
was showing signs of the strain
when the Brownies came to bat for
their last whacks and George Sisters
terrific swipe to the jury box for
circuit of the bases did not tend to
relieve that strain on the Norseman.
"GO BACK TO Work.
Down in right field were Jim Shaw
and Val Picinich. They had been
sent there in order to be ready in
case of need. Mcbride did not intend
keeping Erickson on the slab a sec
ond longer than necessary II he
weakened and the Brownies began to
make a noise like tying the score.
out would go the rednecked finger
and in would come Pittsburgh's pride.
Sam Rice galloped across toward
right and gobbled Jackson's fly. It
was a pretty play. but it was forgot
ten a moment later when Mcbride.
invoking memories of earlier days,
lstrode over behind second base,
picked up Williams hopper and got
the runner with a bit to spare. That
was a wonderful play, even for Nc
Bride and the cheers sounded to the
skies.
With two down, Shaw and Picinich
started slowly back to the dugout.
They hadn't proceeded far, though,
when the, stentorian voice of the field
leader was heard.
Go back to work, you fellers,"
roared Mcbride.
AND THEY HESITATE
Like two naughty schoolboys
caught sneaking out the side door
with their caps in their pockets,
Shaw and Picinich hesitated, stood
around on one foot and then the
other and finally began warming up
again. Austin was getting a free
pass from the tottering Erickson and
Mcbride didn't know when the tall
Swede might have to be yanked. He
WAS taking no chances.
AS things went, though, Lief put on
all his steam and famed Walter
Gerber for the final out of the game
and so Shaw and Picinich were not
needed. But McBride's carefulness in
keeping his extra pitcher ready and
his immediate halting of any desire
to get away from work impressed
many fans with his ability to handle
a major league ball club in action.
Feeling that Val Picinich required
a rest or something. Mcbride benched
him yesterday. Pat Charity was be-
hind the plate and Dick Torres at
first base. Charity was his usual
self. working hard, throwing accu-
rately and inspiring his pitcher.
