Pirates Stake Frisch

Two More Years

BY the hSScCldltu TIeSS'
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 30.-Frankie
Frisch pulled Pittsburgh's founder
ing Pirates back into the National
League first division and promised
a 1941 pennant contender. so the
management today rewarded him
by adding another year to his con-
tract.
The old Fordham Flash signed for
two years when he took over the
driving reins last spring and now
he's assured of holding out at least
through 1912.
Pirate President Bill Benswanger
though extension of the contract
would give Frisch assurance of
front-offce satisfaction with his
work He also had in mind that
players more than likely would con-
tinue hustling for Frisch and re-
spect disciplinary rules if they knew
he was on the job to stay.
The Buc prexy in the past year
paid out more than 100000 for
players while Frisch rebuilt from
the ground up. For a time the BUGS
wallowed woefully in the cellar as
frankie experimental, but finally
he got a hustling young ball club
that finished fourth.
I'VE have completed our expert
ments," declares Frisch. When the
bell rings next spring We'll be ready.
We had a lot of spadework to do
this year.
