There are many reasons why the
Pirates should be the meanest rival
of the Giants over the coming sum
mer's chase. If you were to ask the
Pirate regulars for an expression on
the qualification of their new man
ager-William B. McKechnie-you
would hear a vote of confidence that
would make you reel in amazement.
When McKechnie Took Hold.
Skipper McKechnie took charge of
the club last summer when the Bucs
were fioundering in the second di-
vision. Before the year closed Nc
Kechnie had the base ball lovers OF
Manhattan and environs in an up
roar On the first trip east Mckech-
ME invaded the metropolis and trans
formed what would have been dull
competition into a real race for su-
premacy by busting off the cham
pions four days in a roy.
When the Pirates left the Polo
Grounds on the finish of that land
slide. there was scene of deep
gloom in the enemy's clubhouse. Yes,
McGraw had to dig deep into his re-
sourcefulness to find remedy to cure
the effect of McKechnie's first trip
as a big league chieftain to the land
of the ancient foe.
McKechnie's short reign has been
marked with striking incidents. Fall
ing heir to q rich heritage left by
George Gibson. Skipper Bill was not
satisfied entirely with his inheritance
One of his first moves was to open
negotiations for the return of Catcher
Walter Schmidt, generally regarded
as the premier catcher of the Ma
tional League. The negotiations were
successful. This was just one Of the
things put over" by the youthful
pilot.
The feeling toward McKechnie in
the squad of Pirates is remarka BILE.
Outside of his exceptional merit as
strategist, McKechnie is pointed
out as a young man of extreme con-
sideration. Bill is tireless in his eff
forts to- provide harmony, and the
players have learned that they can
speak to him on any subject with
assurance that they have his atten-
tive ear. All things considered, it

a misstep. If he went after the bail
awkwardly the chances are that he
could not have gotten the batter. In
that case give the fielder an error. If
the ball and the batter arrive at first
at the same time and the ball is drop
ped always give the batter a hit.
There is no eye keen enough to see
what the play might have been. OF
course, the batter is safe, but the
Important stage Of the game some
times is too great and the scorer
will put down a misplay against the
first baseman and take away from
the batter a smart performance for
which he should be given due credit.
There is always an argument for
the batter when a bunt is made, be-
cause most of such attempts to hit
are for the purpose Of advancing run
ners, and that Is to the credit of the
batter and should be so recorded.
