He will admit, even when slightly | pressed, that he is, very likely, the homeliest ball-player in the big leagues. He'll go even further and take in a few minor leagues when he wants to make an impression. “Sure,” he boasts, “I'll admit I was overlooked when good looks were passed around—but I have got personality.” Personality he does have. Base- ball “poiscnality.” His record wiv.hi Buffalo last season proves that. He hit .359, batted in 112 runs and scores 100 times himself. It locks as though the Pirates did well by themselves when they added Dickshot to the roster. He has given them a much needed right- handed batting punch. He's a pow-| er hitter and has broken up sev- eral games already with his long and timely clouts. | The Pirates also possess one of| the best looking ball players in the| game. He is Russell Bauers, a combination Indian - Swedish - Ger- | man, who looks like a movie hero. But that is not what is keeping him with the Pirates, The boy can pitch. Manager Pie Traynor could not see this handsome young giant at| camp this spring.
