Backers OF Pirates Look
For Great Things In 1923.

This psychology stuff may bf !!
called the bunk Of some, but!
I'm for it, said one of the vet J
erans. We looked like buns
when McKechnie took hold.
Then we start out and break the
seasons record for consecutive
victories. How do you explain
it? Easy
Schmitty comes back to take
the kid catchers in hand and in
few days he has the pitchers
believing they can't lose. Rus
sell blows in and. gets hit by the
home run bug. Tierney goes on
a rampagne and bosts his batting
average to $40. Bigbee blows
himself to similar average.
Max Carey and Rabbit Mara q
vile, the two real cogs of the
outfit, have their greatest season
Grimm and Traynor prove the..'
are really wonderful fielders des-
pite their hard luck with the bat.
! "Then the pitchers 60 crazy.
Cooper, Morrison, Carlson, Adams
and Glazner all turn in shutouts
or hold the enemy to one or two
runs. They get out there AMI
sock 'em through, we'll knowing
that they have a team that can
go back and get 'em. Look over
the records and see how stingy
they all have been with bases on
balls. There is your psychology
again. They took chances, but
broke the old pill over the plate. -
! Fred Clarke, former manager,
has been travelling with the team
for a couple Of weeks.
