MANAGR
 IS VERY HOPEFUL Says Team Will Be Bst in Four Yeas
By rh. As.oeiat.d pr.ss.

Paso Roblss. Cal. March 1y.-. "The Pittsburgh clui of 1925, with two new faces in the tield, will be a better team than th Pirates of the last four seasons." said Man. ager w. B. McKechni, today in discussing the outlooI Tor his team.
 NO other club in ts league pos- sesses an equal arnoht of speed" he asserted. "and acording to the averages of the varins players, 1t should, as unit, hitwell over the 300 mark. Headed ' Max Carey, who over long cours of years has been the leading bas stealer and one of the smartest utfislders in the league. the lineup ontains such fast men as Bigbee, Taynor. Guy Ter, Moore. Grantham. iiehaus and Wright. H<
 Several important css in the machine last season. thr~n oil their stride by illness, have rportsd in better physical conditionthis year. This is especially true of hird Base man Traynor, who slumld 90 mo- ticeably last season that . had to be taken out of tho linep for time. Bigbee at present gives no sign of the sinus troub1 which dimmed his batting eye ,vsr the past two years.
 Last winters trade wh the Cubs which brought Granthm, AL dridge and Neihaus to Pittshrgh in exchange for Maranville. Grimm and Cooper, will beneft tn club. Eddie Moore. one of the ids of last year, will supplant Marayillc. He is faster, will hit better and can be depended upon in a inch. Aldridge will win as many ames for Pittsburgh as Cooper vii for Chicago.
 Albert Niehaus, first basenan, last year with Chattanooga, has shown enough in camp to saisfy me that first base will be well cred for, and that he is stronger Inter than Grimm. Grantham will i've us the needed punch and will be used as an alternate in the outfiid or as regular outfelder. Freso Thompson, obtained from Omah will add to the reserve strength f the infeld. The youpgster is fat and should develop quickly.
 "The regular pitching staff of las year has been strengthened by th' addition of Bernard CuIlton, semi professional pitcher picked up in tn middle Of last season. and who ha developed into a dependable hurler Louis Koupal, who won 2e game with Omaha last year, and Don Son ger and Joe Brown, from Oklahom; City are others.
 The catching department ha been strengthened by the addition 0 Roy Spencer from Birmingham. Jo' Cronin, a sand lot infelder iron San Francisco, has been the sensa ton of the camp. He needs season ing and will he farmed out for flu ture use. All signs point to the clul being a pennant contender iron start to finish.'

COBB HOPES ID BE | IN HUNDRED GAMES.
Georgia Peach Sets This as His .1 1925 Objective
(BY BILLY EyANs)

Augusta, Ga, March 1s.--How many games will Ty Cobb play this year, his twenty-first season in the majors?
 Throughout the winter it has been frequently reported that he would play just 100 games.
 Do you intend to play only 100 games of ball?" l asked him.
 q have set no definite number but doubt if l play more than 100 games. It probably will be less"
 In watching the team go through it's sprouts I noticed that Cobb worked sparingly. I was positive there must be a reason. His reply to my query as to the number of games he would play answered it.
 q feel great but find that I must condition myself slowly. My legs, arms and body do not buck on the work but in the evening I suffer.
 "f am taking 1t slowly, but rest assured will be in good shape when the season opens. intend to start in the regular lineup.
 How long I remain in there as regular depends entirely on my physical condition and the caliber of my play.
 T have always gone we'll in the spring and early summer. I hope to be as good as ever until about July 1. That's when I begin to go stale.
 However, If am stepping along well at that time, of value to the club, l will keep on going until such time as l feel the old legs have reached stopping point.
 After I once leave the lineup as a regular I seriously doubt if I will return as such. My present inten- tion is to act as pinch-hitter and take the place of some outfielder who has been injured.
 T still feel that l can hit the ball just about as well as ever. It would be foolish for me to argue that I was as fast or covered as much ground.
 T venture to say the last three years l have annually lost at least 25 hits on balls 10 the infleld that I would have beaten step in the old days.
 My play will he guided by my physical condition and the way am going. It's cinch won't play over 100 games, perhaps 75 would be closer to the number. Incidentally l feel that as the race tightens, which is certain, I can handle my team better from the bench. It's much easier just to manage than manage and play"

Manager Announces Decision

FRONT-HANEY,

New York March 19.-Track of- ficials last night awaited definite word from the Finnish sensation, Paavo Nurmi, as to the prospect of his remaining, in this country for several more scheduled appear ances.
 Friends of the Olympic champion, who has established more than 8 score of world records since com- ing 10 the United States last Decem- Der, said that an examination by physicians today undoubtedly will answer the question.
 Nurmi's remarkable system fail ed at one of the critical points of his track career. In a 5000 meter race against his greatest rivtl, Will lie Ritola, his stomach failed him. Physicians said that a meal of meat shortly before therace brought on an attach which drove him from the competition four laps from the finish after he had broken three world records on the way.
 The breakdown also prevented R meeting with the little Chicago star, Joie Ray, who has lost many records to the light-haired Finn. Ray ran the mile to equal Nurmi's world record of 412.
 After meets in New York March q and 24, Nurmi is scheduled to depart on a journey which will take him to the Pacific coast.
 Hugo Quis, manager of the Olym- pic champions American tour, said last night that Nurmi will resume his schedule and so through with it unless the attack occurs again. Quis plans to stage an outdoor meet at the Yankee stadium following Nurmi's return from his long tour on April IS, in which Ritola would be given another opportunity at the thousand meter distance. Nurmi was reported as much improved and able 10 take short walk during the afternoon.
