PIRATES TO COUNT
HEAVILY ON SPEED
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 3O-Speed
will be a dominant factor in the pen
nant drive OF the Pittsburgh Pirates
next season.
Already the fastest club in the
senior circuit, the acquisition of
George Grantham from the Chicago
Cubs has given the Buccaneers a
monopoly on speed.
The 1925 Pirates will boast prob
ably the four most proficient base
stealers in the National League. Max
Carey, who, like Eddie Collins. seems
to gather speed with age, led the
Heydler organization last season
with At thefts, while the young out
field recruit. Hazen Cuy1er was next
with 80. Pie Traynor stole "a and
Grantham FL.
The former Cub has demonstrated te
he can do better than this, however.
for he stole 43 bases in 1923, ranking
second to Carey, who led with 81.
Besides this quartet, Manager Nc
Kechnie has other speed merchants
in Eddie Moore and Glenn Wright,
1924 rookie sensations. and Carson
Bigbee, outfielder.
The Pirates outslanted Chicago as
the most prolific base-stealing team
last season. They recorded 180 thefts,
Al more than the Cubs. who were
next in line.
AS proof of the speed Of the quar-
tet which will lead the 1925 Pirate
march, the 1924 figures show that
collectively they stole only bases
less than the whole Cub team, and
exceeded the mark of every other
outfit in the league

Officially welcomed when he alight-

yesterday morning, Harris was motor

throughout the day he was we'll en-

But perhaps the part OF the cere-
monies that touched Harris most was
the greeting given him by the miners
among whom he had worked when
boy. The colliery at which he had
been employed was closed for the
day, and delivers for coal in many
other mines in the valley took
holiday These men remembered well
when Harris left Pittston 10 years
ago to begin his base ball career with
the Lehighton nine. and they were
eager to make their former fellow
worker feel how glad they were his
efforts in a new field had been so
well rewarded.
And when Harris told them, in a
neat little speech, that, no matter
where his calling took him. he
never forgot the old town, that 1t
always was an inspiration to him,
the heart Of the whole Wyoming
Valley went out to him in a roaring

Walker suffered q severe injury to
his knee yesterday in a fall At the
Englewood Country Club and will
be confined to his bed for several
days.
Efforts are being made to get
Walter Hagen, Gene Saraxen, Johnny
Farrell or Joe Kirkwood to take the
place Of Walker in case the national
open title holder will not be able to
play on November 9.
John c. walker was elected presi-
dent Of the Columbia Country Club
last night, succeeding John H. Hanna.
Donald Woodward, prominent
member of the club. has offered to
contribute a swimming pool to the
club. The offer has been accepted. and
the pool will be constructed between
the west side Of the present grill
room and the professionals shop.
The pool will be inclosed and the
structure in which 1t is housed will
be used to furnish additional locker
facilities. AS soon as plans now be-
ing drafted are completed and ap-
proved, work will be started.
Horace A. Dodge was elected
vice president of the club. Arthur
B. Shelton and John Poole were re-
elected secretary and treasurer, re-
spectively.
The following were chosen men,
bers of the board: Orville B. Drown.

Ahlcago, Z; lraynOr, Pittsburgh, /.
In justice to McGraw it should be
noted that he decided that the short
stop position was a toss-up between
Wright and Jackson, and so made his
nnal decision on a toss. But the play
ers evidently believe that Wright had
considerable margin of superiority
over Jackson
McGraw thinks jackson has the best
arm of all the shortstops. and he
showed himself a better hitter than
either Wright or Bancroft But the

proves his class by being in the game
up to his neck at all times. his snappy
thinking and general aggressiVeness.
his aptitude for timely hitting and
the clean manner in which his fielding
is done.
McGraw has said that he cannot un-
derstand how Babe Ruth came to pick
l Roger Peckinpaugh for his all-Amer-
Nican shortstop. The Giant manager
places jackson and Wright Of the
National League above Peckinpaugh
and, in the American Lea que. thinks
Sewell of Cleveland a considera bic
Improvement over the Griffman.
Ruth Gives Roger Credit.
In selecting Peckinpaugh, Ruth had
to override 10 base ball writer's, Sc
lected from the major league cities,
hoie ol WHOM were Tor Roger. ES-
planning his decision, he said: Wash
1ngton has run our club ragged this
year, and ask any Yankee player
what's been the center of most the
trouble, he'll tell you Peckinpaugh."
Ruth, being an active player. has
the viewpoint, apparently, of most of
the other players in the American
League. The vote for shortstop gives:
Peckinpaugh, 6S; Sewell. Cleveland.
II: Gerber, ST. Louis, IS: Scott. New
York. 3; Galloway, Philadelphia. l.
The American Leaguers' faith in
Roger was justified by his showing in
the world series. Although he played
in but four games. because of injuries
he won the second of the series wit
a. hit at the right moment. and not
only saved the sixth game by Il mag
nifcent stop back of second. but
started Washington to victory Ivy a
hit that began a rally. His greatness
doesn't show in the records. 1t rests
In his ability to rise TO special op-
portunity.
Peck an "InSide" Player.
Sewell is harder hitter than Peck
fnpaugh and also gets his full Sh;- re
of timely hits. But the Griffman is
apt to insert his binsleS at time
when they are most neede d. Also he
covered acres of ground. made "A
great douhl e-play combination with
"Bucky'' Harris and was "A master at
what is known as inside" play. Thus
you have the reasons for the players
vote for him. Peck was one of Wash
ington's kers.

But the Cubs did not keep Niehaus
long enough to find out how good he
really was. The Pirates will make
the experiment. And it may rebound
greatly to their credit Last sea son,
Niehaus batted 1854 for Chattanooga
in 154 games which is an excellent
mark. Made in the Southern ASso-
citation it is good enough to warrant
the expectation that Niehaus will turn
in at least a 1926 rating if he does
not go into a slump He hit long dis
tance wallops fairly well, with 80
baggers, three -baggers and IL
home runs.
Grinlm's Story Untold.
The release of Grimm to Chicago
by Pittsburgh is "a story within a
story There has been friction be-
tween Grimm and the Pirate manage
ment for some time. Exactly what
the nature of it has been neither
PARTY will disclose, but Grimm GER
tainly fell off as a result. At the be-
ginning of 1923 he appeared to be
the. greatest first baseman fielding
the ball. but he has got out Of that
habit The Cubs not only have their
old first basemen with them, includ-
ing Cotter, but they also have Welch,
a player of Seattle. who is much

wanted. and who is said to play
fine first base. So that gives them
plenty Of first base material, even
if Grimm does not perform better
in his new home
Maranville. Cooper and Grimm all
may go better in Chicago than they
did in Pittsburgh. and then again
they may not. But there is not an
awful lot of batting strength added
to Chicago by the trade
Fine Fielding Quartet.
For the Pirates Niehaus, Moore.
Wright and Traynor will comprise
mountaineering quartet that will
rival that of any club in the major
leagues. The question is-can they
play good enough ball to get through
the New York barrage at the end of
the season and win a championship?
