GIBSON RESIGNS AS
LEADER OF PIRATES
For Good Of Team He Says
McKechnie Takes
Charge.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
PITTSBURGH, June 3o.-The local base
ball public was surprised tonight to
learn that change of management In
the Pirates had taken place. After to-
days game. in which the locals were
ers together before they reached the
shower baths and told them that he had
decided to resign in the interests OF the
team, hoping for change OF fortunes
He said that he had no blame for any
one, but that he felt the team should
have another manager and might pos
sibly do better work. He thanked them
all. and said he was leaving without a
feeling of resentment against any of
them. He wished them all the luck
possible, and hoped they would reach
better position in the race.
The players were surprised, as they
had no warning that Gibson. was dis
couraged. They have been striving to
get out of a rut for some time. but the
pitchers have failed dismally In recent
games, and what good batting they dis
played had gone for naught.
Gibson left the clubhouse and went
to the office of Barney Dreyfus. where
he rendered his resignation. 1t was ac-
cepted Immediately, giving the impress
sion that 1t was at least desired by the
owner After Gibson had left for his
home. William Il. McKechnie. the as
sistant manager, was called in and ap-
pointed manager. He takes charge right
away.
McKechnie is a local man and form
erly played on the Pirates as well as
the Giants. Reds and Yankees He also
played for and managed the Indianap-
oils team when 1t won the Federal
League pennant several years ago. and
was then transferred to Newark. He is
popular with the players.

minors. This is an unusual number.
for the varsity boys dislike joining up
Immediately with minor league outfits.
They may know that they will head
for the minors soon after they join
their major league teams. but they
want at least that distinction which
comes of an announcement that they
have been taken on by the best in the
country.
