BUCS PROVED GAMENESS IN CLASHES WITH GIANTS Revealed Real Championship Qualities in ' Crucial Contests—Nationals’ Reserve Talent Made Possible Early Ending of Race. BY STANLEY (BUCKY) HARRIS, Manager and Second Baseman, World Champion Washington Club, ITTSBURGH will be Washington's opponent in the 1925 world series. The Pirates showed the way to the National League field because they had the best clyb in the senior organization. They reached the tep of their game when it was necessary for them to do so and landed the Smoky City’s first pennant since 1909, Fred Clarke, who has been aiding Manager McKechnie with his ad- vice this season, was the lcader of thejlast Pittsburgh pennant-winning ag- gregation. He also piloted the Pirate flag victors of 1901, 1902 and 1903. He will watch another world series from the bemch this year. There is no question in the minds of base ba'l followers but what the Pirates won on their merits. They have been threatening for several years. Heretofore they seemed to crack when their chances of getting to,the top and staying there appeared brightest. The strain didn't prove too much for them this year. They had a Feal test put on their courage when they met the Giants ip New ork in what was rightly called a rucial serles.”” Had they lost those engagements the Pirates probably would have gone to pleces and the Giants would now be getting ready to Lake the field for another world series. But the Pirates showed their ability | and courage when the test came. They | took the Giants into camp on the lat-| ler's home grounds. To all intents and purposes the National League race was over, so far as the winner was concerned, when the Pittsburgl club rose to the occasion and whipped the New Yorkers. The test of a real champlonship club comes when it takes the fleld against a contending rival. The Pirates beat the Giants this se son when first place hung in the balance. Washington did the same thing with the Athletics. Both cham- plonship clubs had to fight their way | to the top and then fight some more to hang on to hard-earned advanta They proved their cl when pinch came The victory of the Pirates spoiled John McGraw's dream of winning five s in a row. The New York club had some bad breaks this season, they might have turned the trick any- way. McGraw's club, however, has a | strangle hold on second place and from the present outlook ought to be in the | thick of the fight again another vear. | The world champlons have had some bad breaks lately in the way of in-| juries. Peck and Johnson have been | on the alling squad.’ I'm a full-fledged | member myself. However, we all hope | Barret 10 be ready and in tip-top shape when | Adams, Washington takes the field against the | Folll Pirates on October T Many National Casuals. AMERICAN. Club Batting. Cluh.

There is no question but what the cholce was well merited. Peck richly deserved the Honor be- stowed upon him. He is a wonderful player and a great fellow both on and oft_the base ball field.

The fish racks to be placed in the Tidal Basin to prevent the escape of game fish, big“mouth bass, crappie and sunfish —several hundred of which were planted by the Bureau of Fisheries last Spring—have been com- pleted. This information was transmitted to the Bureau of Fisheries in a let- ter from Col. Clarence O, Sherrill, director of public buildings and grounds of the National Capital. In his letter Col. Sherrill asked the bureau officlals when they wanted to have the racks installed and was in- formed by Commissioner O'Malley that, in his opinion, the best time would be next February or March. This change in the plans for the ! installation of the fish screens from this Fall to next Spring, according io the Bureau of Fisheries, was made after careful consideration. In the fivst place it is the intention of the commissioner to have the Tidal Basin selned just as soon as vegetation died down and all undesirable fish taken from its water, principally carp and catfish. The carp are particularly de- structive to the spawn of the bass. After this work has been completed the bureau figured that cold weather will have ket in and it will be ‘much harder to collect the fish to be planted. Commissioner O'Malley plans to col- lect some 5,000 adu’. iish to be planted in the Basin next Spring, some time | around March. A conservative esti- | mate of the result of next year's spawning would place about 500,000 fry in the Basin. Under normal con- ditlons these fish should develop and gain about a pound a year. Now everything is ready to proceed to finish this project with the excep- tion that the anglers of the National Capital have not done thelr part, namely, have not sent in their sub- scriptions to close the $1,000 pledged to Col. Sherrill when the proposition was first undertaken, The fishing fund today amounts to $522.75, which leaves a balance of $477 Surely the sportsmen of this city will do their share and make up this balance. This project is not a dream, but a reality. Glen C. Teach, head of the depart- mernit of fish culture of the United States Fish Commission, has stated that he knew of no better place in the whole United States for the breeding of these fish than the Tidal Basin, and reiterated his statement made last | Spring that not only will Washington | be provided with an ideal breeding | ground for big-mouth bass, crappie | and sun fish, but that as the fish ma- ture it is his intention to liberate, at stated intervals, many of them to stock the Potomac around Washing- ton, the Georgetown Channel, Little River and the Eastern Branch, and possibly many of the creeks and coves of the lower Potomac, both on the Maryland and Virginia sides. Some question has been raised by anglers as to the effectiveness of these racks, and when the question was put to Leach he sald that he had just re- turned from a trip to Maine, where he mspected a 15-acre lake where the same kind of a rack had been placed by the Bureau of Fisheries to prevent the escape of trout He sald before these racks were installed from 10,000 to 15,000 trout were lost annually, es- caping out in various other streams and feeders. Leach said his recent visit was the first since the racks were. placed over a year ago and that nothing but praise from all sides was heard about the good fishing now to be enjoyed in that lake. The first two Sundays in October will be busy ones for many of the local anglers, when the Potomac Anglers Association, chapter of the Izaak Wal- ton League of America, and the Na-| tional Military and Sport Shop will | Chesapeake Beach. | On Sunday, Qctober 4, the Pnll)ulhc| Anglers’ Asseciation will visit the beach on their excursion and a big women.

Detective Harry Evans of the head quarters force, when he is not looking for violators of the law, spends a great deal of his spare time fishing. Last week he selected Cornfield Harbor as the scene of his activities, and, along with one of the natives of that place, succeeded in landing 100 perch, 12 trout, 4 taylors and 3 black sea bass or Wille, as they are commonly called. The peculiar part of his trip was that every once in a while he would get a-strike and lose part of his line. After this bad occurred two or three times he decided to get a very heavy line from one of the natives and use a wire leader. Prepared with this heavier tackle he once more put his| line in the water and in g few min- utes pulled up a shark measuring 43 He then proceeded to land eight others.

McGRAW, Manager, New York Giants, National League Champions 1921, '2. ARLY in the season, when the Athletics were well out in front in the American League race, I gave it as my frank opinion two or * E three times, from a base ball man’s point of view, that they could not stay there. In other words, it was difficult to sec how they could possibly beat out the more experienced and better balanced Washington team. For this candid statement I was criticized a littlc I was not the least partisan in my belief—no more frequently declaring that the Pirates were the only club the Giants to fear. In fact, many base ball men of experience agreed with me Numerous teams have gone through the same experience as that of the Athletics, and the result is practically‘always the same is one of the most interesting well established principles in base ball The failure of the Athletics this sea-| inpaugh with 12; McXN. son proves rather conclusively that a |Stanley Harris with season of 154 games isthe true test of | The speed which 2 ball club’s actual strength, which, in |runner to take an extr: turn, proves that it is almost impos changes the result sible for a young team to last ov It prevents double play that lpng a streich. {are deadly killers of batting Eafly in the Spring training season |Over a season that litile ex I saw the Athletics play, and it struck speed often will mean the differe me that they were not only young and |in the result of a dozen game: unbalanced, but were badly lacking in |quently more. the speed necessary to a champion.
