When Reeves learns to time each runner, basing his conclusions on the speed of the runner and the | manner in which the ball comes to him, he will have cured his one bad fault, hurrying the throw, resulting in many wild pegs.

GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor Pittsburgh, Oct. 5—(AP)— The Pittsburgh Pirates, Na- tional League pennant winners for the sixth time in 26 years, probably have had more ups and downs than any club in the modern history of the game. The last seven years particu- larly, during which the club has twice fought its way to the top, have been filled with the vicissitudes of the buccaneers. Their. careers have peen as stormy as those of their name- sakes. 2 Throughout this seven-year period Pittsburgh always has been a pennant contender, but usually the high hopes of spring have faded or been blasted. During the four-year win- ning streak of the Giants, 1921 to 1924, the New Yorkers appeared to have the “Indian Sign” on the Pi- rates. In 1921, the Pirates, leading most of the season, “blew” a seven- game lead in September, starting with five straight defeats at the hands of the Giants. Looked Good in 1925 When the Corsairs finally gained the top in 1925 and conquered Washington in the world series, they looked like the best club in baseball. They had youth, speed and the punch. They were a brilliant collec- tion of stars. But last season, mu- tiny broke out in the ranks. Carey, Bigbee and old Babe Adams were let out after a run-in with Manager Bill McKechnie. The team finished third, beaten out by the Reds as well as the Cardinals. This year Donie Bush jumped from Indianapolis of the American Association to take over the helm but the old Tiger shortstop found well over .300. Joe Harris was rated second because of his timely batting. : Rogers Hornsby’s margin over ‘Frankie Frisch at second base was lrather close. It was argued that rior ability at mak- ing double plays was enough of an edge to give him first choice. . | 7 DUTC MASTE Reg. U. S. Pat.
