The brand of baseball that tri-
umphed in the National League PEN

1909 is being felt today In the senior

Babe Adams and Mooney Gibson are
responsible. This famous old Pirate
battery is the brains of the 1921 Pitts

today with a percentage of 800.
b. HAVE LOST BUT THREE.
with the season three weeks old
the fast-going Pirates have lost but
three games out of fifteen played
up to date. and while baseball critics
in general predicted nice things for
Gibson's team. no one was daring
enough to say IL would be leading
the league on May Day.
The pitching of Babe Adams has
been as much Of an inspiration to the
members of Pittsburgh's hurting stan
as it has been a surprise to fandom.
No one dreamed that the once great

comeback. But he has done it-and
is doing 1t. :
ADAMS IS VALUABLE.
Adams presence in the Pittsburgh
lineup Is valuable because of the aid
he can give Gibson in the capacity
OF first lieutenant. and 1t is a GER
