PIRATES CREDIT
CLARKE WITH
.lJ SUCCESS
Famous Old Star, Now
Coach, Inspires Pen
nant Squirt.

: PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 6.-CR-
Fred Clarke. chief assistant to Bill
McKechnie in molding the destinies
of the champion Pirates of the Ma
tional league this year, was one Of
the best players the CIRCUIT ever turned
out and was manager of Louisville,
which later became the Pittsburgh
club, for 10 successive years, includ-
ing the worlds series campaign of
1903.
Clarke came from his ranch in
Kansas on June ID of this year to
aid in the drive for the pennant and
what has happened is perhaps in
steadfast attention to details. his
coaching and strategic aid. When
Clarke appeared on the field in uni
form after a lapse of several years
during which he has attended to wide
spread oil and ranch interests in his
home state. there was an immediate
squirt and the Pirates have been fight
ing as seldom before.
y STOLE 90 BASES.
Fred Clarke was born in Des
Moines. Iowa, and started his profess
sional baseball career with Hastings,
Neb., in 1892. at the age of 10. Two
years later he was with Louisville
and hit 400 and the following season
added a batting figure of .327 to his
record. In 1896 the New York
Giants offered 5000 for his services.
an immense figure in that day, but it
was refused and a year later he be-
came manager at Louisville. to re-
main In that capacity throughout his
major league career. That year was
his best. He stole 90 bases.
In 1893 Clarke added heavy, un-
calmly outfielder who was to become
one Of the games greatest stars. 1t
was Hans Wagner from the Paterson.
n. j.. club. At the same time Tommy
Leach and Claude Ritchey entered
the fold and in 1900 they went along
to Pittsburgh under transfer, Clarke
playing in the outfield along with
Wagner and Ginger Beaumont. Sam
Lever and Charley Philippe. pitch
ers, were saved from the Pittsburgh
forces in the amalgamation.
WINS FIRST PENNANT.
The club of that year gained second
place to Brooklyn and the following
year gave Clarke his first pennant.
At this time Fred Ely became too
much interested in the newly-formed
American league and lost his position.
opening the door to one Of the great
est shortstops of all time-Wagncr.
And again in 1902 the Pirates won
the flag, being out of first place only
one day during the season. In 1908
they made it three straight pennants
but fell back to fourth in 1904. They
were always strong contenders until
in 1909 they were at the top and
won the worlds series from Detroit.
After this conquest Clarke realized
that his playing days were nearly
over and he obtained Max Carey from
South Bend to understudy him in left
field. The manager played in 11S
games that year but in 1911 gave
Carey plenty of work and in 1912
directed the club from the bench. He
played only two complete games in
i913 and in 1914 acted as pinch hit
ter twice. The year 1915 was his last
as a player. On September % he
went into left field, got one hit and
retired in favor of Carey. never to
don q glove again in active play.

The tax rate in the county has
not been increased, Mr.. Kendall said.
in spite of the fact that it has been
necessary to increase the budget $751;
600 over what it was last year.
This is possible. he said, through
a revision of the tax rolls and an
equalization of assessments that has
brought the total rendered valuation in
the county to $137, 100000. The total
rendered valuation last year was $751;
100000.
Revenue from the total assessed
valuation will cover the total budget
