The roosters shrill louder than ever, and each crow sounds sus- piciously like “three cheers for the Pittsburgh Pirates.” The Pirates who are here got a ripping good workout until the sun began to sink behind the hills, but as the train carrying the writer pulled in from the South, it brought with it a shower of rain which had tagged it for miles up the coast. It was a bother the players. warm rain, however, and it did not Bill McKechnie, who bosses the Pirates, is not afraid to drive his men into a good sweat. Even champions to win a second pennant. There is nothing more agreeable to the veteran in the Spring than tc 1 the perspiration trickling down back when he starts to get ready, there was enough of that in this ictice to convince the champions that they are going to find thems selves in the first blush of high-class condition when they leave Paso Ro- . bles, which was kind enough to send them away last year to become cham pions of the world. Worrying About Carey. :ws that Max Carey, on his way had been sent to a hospital, ened, perhaps, with pneumonta, cied Manager McKechnie a little t's as old and true as the hills, : he said, “that when a team there is a jin ; to_ knock down sume important player After the fine work that Carey dic last season the champions prize hin more than ever.

The latter, ac- cording to the Californtan who doés the scouting for the Plrates, Is as €ood a flelding shortstp as Wright, or mighty near to it. Fe can’t throw like Wright, but there are few in- tielders in this day who can. Call- fornians can't see why other clubs than Pittsburgh did not go after Rhyne. All of them declare the Champions will benefit by his pur- chase beyond the price paid. Have Many Youngsters. The Pirates have quite a flock of kids here. They will need a day or two of watching to see how good they are. Without doubt the team will de- pend upon the regulars, who show as much as they did last year, when it comes to the hard fight of the season. But Pittsburgh is not only aiming to retain the pennant another season. The Pirates hope to get into the fight for at least three or four years to come, and a penant-winning team must be supplied from season to sea- son with new material if it hopes to retain its prestige. John Rawlings is here and looks as good as ever. “I have had my ankle tested in every way,” he sald. “The doctor literally pulled my leg until I thought_he would pull it out at the knee. Then he made me try stunts to seo If T could turn on it quickly, and all that, and I could. T will be all right, I am sure.” Rawlings may make second base regularly for the Pittsburghs. There arc clubs in the National League which would like very much to get his services, but he twould rather be here. (Copyright. 1020.) ning n F cod a chanc this team Bil. “1 ENTERS MARYLAND TOURNEY.

I played an hour a day and all day Saturday. I went through high school and never made the team. Was always a substitute. And I went through co!— lege—Sacred Heart College—and didn't make the team until my last year. But I liked to play so much I just stuck to it, and now I have & regular Job. \ticilman is the hardest hitter in the American League. Note that he takes a big swing and holds his bat on the end.) I was rather heavy, and, therefore, slow, so I tried to become a hitter, al- though I would have liked pitching, I believe. Christy Mathewson and Wal- ter Johnson were my heroes. I hit my first homer that last year in college and it was the greatest home run I ever hit. I never got so much thrill out of any that followed. Hit often and hard. To do that learn free swinging while young. Get long hits. Get the knack of doing that just as a caddy gets his stroke and after- wards becomes a star golfer.

When two players jump following the calling of a held ball there are any number of things the four teammates of a team may do. The ideal move is for them to take positions on the fioor in proximity to the jumpers whereby they place themselves at the four cor- ners of an imagin: square so one of e in a position to secure the ball whether it is tapped by their own teammate or the op- ponent.
