PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3.-P-BilI
McKechnie. third-baseman of parts
in his day and native of Pittsburgh
has attained a National League pen.
nant after approximately only three
seasons as a manager.
McKechnie is product Of the sand
lots and a much travelled ball player.
His life has been entanglcd with sew
cral of baseball's squabblcs. Early life
found him playing third for the But
Ter and Washington teams in his home
state and in 1907 he was purchased
by the Pirates, making his first APP
pearancc in the majors at about the
time Hcinie Zimmerman cropped up
at second base for tho Chicago Cubs.
Babe Adams also made his bow that
season.
In 1908 McKcchnie was transfer
red to Canton. Ohio, and year later
appeared with Wheeling where he
played remarkably. and was adjudgcd
the best man at hi. position in the
Central League. In 1910 he rejoined
the Pirates and played very little. tho
same holding for 1911 when the pres
cnce of Jack Miller. Bobby Byrne and
Hans Wagner prevented any aspirant
from breaking into the inficld.
GOES TO ST. PAUL.
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
August %. 1913. to play alongside
youthful shortstop who was destined
to create records in the majors
Everett Scott of the Red Sox anil
Yankees. and now with the team that
will fight McKechnie's band in the
worlds series. the Senators.
The next year the present Pirate
was among several who
jumped to the Federal League. He
proved to b. one of the organizations
greatest infieldcrs with Indianapolis.
That year he battei 300. In 1917
the team was transferred TO Newark
and McKechnic succeeded Bill Phillips
as manager and won the pennant.

In the second half the Heights
scored when Venue again recovered
Il tumble and ran for touchdown.
Point was made on pass to Men
ger by Dick. Using the overhead
game, the Heights team again brought
the ball near the goal and Schaezler
carried it over.
In the third quarter, Dick. hard
hitting fullback, carried the ball over
on a line buck. Try for point failed.
The last touchdown came when 70
bin. mountainous guard. blocked a
punt and recovered it behind the goal.
Point was made on a forward pass.
Harlandalo's lone touchdown was
made in the last few minutes of the
game when Mathis, star halfback. re-
turned a punt 40 yards and, on the
next play, grabbed a pass from Bowen
and ran 40 yards through a broken
field.
The Alamo Heights team we're con

GIBBONS QUITS
BOXING CAME
WELL FIXED
Proper Use of Small Purses
Stands Tom in Good
Stead.
BY the Assoeiated Pres.

ST. PAUL. Aug. 11.-Careful liv-
ing and intelligent use of the none too
fat purses that came his way will en-
able Tommy Gibbons 10 retire from
the pugilistic ring without much
thought of the wolves that frequently
bark around the doors Of "ex-pugil-
lists"
Tommy is not certain whether he
has already retired. He wants another
match with Gene Tunney, whose
knockout victory over Gibbons in New
York early in June was the first time
in his long career that the St. Paul
fighter had ever been knocked off his
feet.
WIFE's WISHES.
But there is another and greater
call that may mean Gibbons has hung
IN his gloves for all time, for his
wife, still seriously i'll from a disease
that has kept her in bed since before
her husbands fight with Tunney,
anXiously awaits the day when Tommy
will definitely say he is through.
From q monetary point of view,
Tommy can afford to quit, for he has
followed the lead of his famous "phan-
otm" brother, Mike, in investing his
purses in bonds, real estate and other
income producing property. Both arc
counted "well-fixed."
Big purses did not shower Tommy
during most of his ring career. In fact,
real money evaded him until he
reached an age when most fighters
have yielded to Father Times unfath-
enable punches. Even then, at the age
of 80, he fought only for glory when
he stayed fifteen rounds with Jack
Dempsey in Montana.
BEST PURSE $4,000.
Tommy's big purse was the $4,000
he collected for his bout with Georges
Carpenter at Michigan City. in 1924,
two months past his thirty-third
birthday. Previously his best purse
was $4,000 for fight with Harry
Grcb. For his match with Jack Bloom
field. the English heavyweight, year
ago. he got $4,000.
Now. at 81, Tommy can quit with
ont financial worries. He has pre-
tcntious home and the necessary in

crous small purses he received had
