Waner comes to the Pirate camp
from San Francisco. His home Is IN
Ada. Okla. where he has been leading
an interesting life during the Winter,
part of the time with shotgun.
Fred Clarke, who handles the ad-
visory part of the Pittsburgh team out
here, says this Waner boy is some
expert with the shotgun, which he
shoots as an expert shoots pistol,
without hracing it against his
shoulder.
Waner and Rhyme, teammates last
wear and this. are almost of the same
height. but Rhymes head is set closer
to his shoulders than is Waner $.
Waner will make you think of Willie
keeler in his street clothes, and yet
he is of "a different type than keeler.
He is delicate in appearance. with the
refined. clearlv-chiseled features OF a
woman. He drawls slightly in SOFT
voice. and there is Il Wistful expires
sion about his mouth which relapses
into a smile when engaged IN cohVer-
sation. He is the least demonStratiFe
on "A team not particularly eXuberah' l.
except perhaps for Earl Smith.
Has Powerful Wrists.
He is small yet not small in the
nhysioue is modelled on finer and more
graceful lines than is that OF spark.
In playing togs he is bal player an
over. The first thing to attract your
attention is a pair of wrists as large
as the arm of a good sized boy. 1hose
wrists are like steel. You marvel 2t
them. His hands are well shaped the
fingers long, with grip in them.
He shoulders his bat as Beaumont
was wont to do in old days at Pitts
burgh. Beaumont carried bat above
his left collar bone as soldier carries
his gun. Old Pittsburghers noted I'M
mediately that this new ball player
resembled Beaumont.
He hits wiCkedlY from his Wrists
with a smash that takes the ball on
a line. He is strictly line-and-Wrlst
batter. which means a batter OF the
most dangerous type. Such a batter
was Willie keeler and other small
men who crashed into the hall with a
vicious wrist snap.
Has No Known Weakness.
Maybe some pitcher in the Ma
tional League will get hold of Wa
ner's weakness. There always is a
persevering veteran determined upon
a search Of that kind, but his weak
ness isn't known in California, where

faced no curve ball pitching to date,
they will be at quite disadvantage

confidence that they will bring home
the bacon.
Bag Punching Helps Tate.
Catcher Bennie Tate, whose arm
rounded to form quicker than that
of any other Nat player this Spring.
has been using punching bag all
Winter. and this daily exercise, he
claims, kept his wing muscles in great
shape and made his work here easy.
The Mats make another Out-of-town

Buffalo Bisons at Palmetto. Big do

half holiday has been declared by the
mayor and a parade will precede the
