BILL M'KECHNIE
 AND FRED CLARK
 ARE MIGHTY PAIR

PITTSBURG, Oct. g. (P)-A third baseman of parts in his day, and na- tive of Pittsburg, has attained na- tional league pennant, after approxi- mately three seasons as manager. McKechnie is a product of the sand lots and much travelled ball player. His life has been entangled with sev- eral of baseball's squabbles. Early life found him playing third for the Butler and Washington teams in his home state and in 1907 he was pur- chased by the Pirates, making his first appearance in the majors at about the time Heinie Zimmerman cropped up at second base for the Chicago Cubs. Babe Adams also made his bow that season.
 In 1908 McKechnie was transferred to Canton O., and year later appear ed with Wheeling where he played re- markedly and was adjudged the best man at his position in the Central League. Tn 1910 he rejoined the Pi- rates and played a little, the same holding for 1911 when the presence of Jack Miller, Bobby Byrne and Hans Wagner prevented any aspirant from breaking into the infield.
 St. Paul received him in 1912 and in 1913 the Braves drafted him. He played only one game in Boston and drifted to the New York Americans. Once again he went to St. Paul on the 22nd of August, 1913 to play along side youthful shortstop who was des- tined to create records in the majors Everett Scott, of the Red Sox and the Yankees, and now with the team that will fight McKechnies band in the world series, the Senators.
 The next year the present Pirate manager was among several who jumped to the Federal League. He proved to be one of the organization greatest infielders with Indianapolis. 1 That year he batted 305. In 1915 the team was transferred to Newark and McKechnie succeeded Bill Phillips as manager and won the pennant.
 Another season saw the collapse of the Federals and for time McKech- nie was out of work. He finally went to the Giants in a settlement which Harry Siclair handled. In New York he played brilliantly butfthe Giants lost eight straight battles, only to tour the west for the first time and cap- ture every game. Returning to the Polo Grounds McKechnie was the he TO of New York, only to be traded to Cincinnati two days later along with Chritie Mathewson and Eddie Roush.
 In 1918 Hugo Bezdek obtained him and McKechnie participated in every game. He left baseball in 1919 to enter business. The can of the dia- mond was too strong and he was back l in uniform in 1920. McKechnie suc- ] ceeded Gibson as Pittsburg manager in 1922 and has been in control ever since.
 1 This year, McKechnie, with Clarke as his adviser, has kept the Pirates l to the fore and when the crucial test came with the champion Giants not long ago, the Pittsburgers came thru 1 triumphantly.

 In the report made by the Euro pcan investigating committee Aus tria sought 10 defend Salm-H oog- straoton on the ground that anyone who knew him would realize that his remarks were quit" harmless.
 "Salm is an absolutely fair player and good sportsman and would never do such things as 10 call the balls near his lines out in order 10 mis- lead the umpire or linesmcn," ac- cording to the Austrian association.
 The European investigators agreed with the Irish team that tho counts actions were most objectionable" and recommended that "competing nations should exercise inc greatest care in the selection of their players and that any player whose conduct on the court is notorious should not he included"
