Bob has a new set of irons, dev himself and made by Tom Stewart, the ancient cleek cutter of St. Andrews, that are a rather radical departure from the ordinary run of clubs. But he is saving them for next year when the larger and lighter ball will be in play and for the amateur championship will stick to his «-0ld favorites. “Calamity Jane,” Bob's famous putter, o longer has a place in his large leather | bag. Old Calamity has been retired | with full honors because she became & | bit too light for Jones' large and capable hands. In her place is another wry-| necked puttér of the same design, but some few grams heavier in weight The new putter is known as the “Daughter of Calamity Jane” and is just as deadly as her mother. Calamity | is older by some years than Jones, for she was brought over from Carnoustie by Jimmy Maiden about the time Bob | was born. Jones used her for 10 years | and now she is worn thin and shiny. The new putter is a duplicate of the old | even to the placing of the whipping of | the shaft. | Another famous club in the Jones armament is the big, bulger-faced driver known as Jeannie Deans, Jeannie came from the shop of Jack White at Sun- ningdale, England, and was_purchased in 1926. She is the sole survivor of 16 drivers Bob purchased at that time and | has been his favorite for five seasons. Deep furrows are worn in the sole of the driver from the contact of the club against wooden tees as Bob reels off his powerful wooden shots, and new horn inlay has been made on the face three times. Jeannie Deans is rather d putable looking, but she still is a power- ful old club and Jones will not part| with her. W. W.

We would have been looking for jobs in another sea son and Pittsburgh’s big offer cai as a surprise. It was the biggest salary I had ever been paid and, as it turned | out, too good to last.” | ATHE National League through the | | years of 1891-2-3 experienced a | marked depression. Gate receipts | dwindled. Prank G. Selee’s Boston team, featuring Herman Long, John | Ganzel, Charles Bennett, Mike Kelly, | Hugh Duffy, John Clarkson and other stars, was a great atfraction as cham- pion in these three years, but general interest was at low ebb. Pittsburgh felt the siump and with a club finishing last in 1891 was forced to cut salaries. The players were told $2400 was the limit and all of them | accepted. The team with Mack, as first string catcher, rose to sixth place in 1892 and to second position in 1893. Prospects were bright when the 1894 | season opened for the Pirates, under the management of Al C. Buckenberger. | Business was picking up. The club made a good start but siumped, and | by mid-season was out of the running. One day Mack, now 32 and a sea- soned veteran of 10 years professional base ball, was suddenly called into the | club president’s office for a conference. | “I was never more surprised in my | life when I was told the club wanted | felt it was then worth trying, me to try my hand as manager,” Mack said. “Buckenberger was one of my best friends. I felt he was not to blame for the poor showing of the team, explained the situation as I saw it and urged the manager be given further opportunity. | It was agreed to. “We made no progress, however, and along late in August I was called in again. This time, however, I was told Buckenberger had been relieved of his duties. 1 was asked to take charge. T ac- cepted.” IT would add drama to Mack's life story to relate that he was an im- mediate success, but the fact is that he set no worlds on fire whatever upon | assuming his first major league com- mand. The Pirates, under his leadership. | finished seventh in 1894 and 1895, sixth in 1896. However, he had the team hustling and in 1896 it was up fighting | for the lead when a sucoession of acci- | dents—still a “jinx” for Pittsburgh | clubs—put the club out of the running. | One of the strokes of misfortune that | year was a broken leg suffered by the | manager. Mack finished directing his team from the bench, where in later years he chose to remain, [ While Mack was struggling’ with his first_managerial _job, the Baltimore Orioles rose to the top, demonstrating their prowess as one of the greatest teams of all time and developing a group of stars whose influence was to| be felt for many years | Among them was John McGraw, rival of Mack's for world ehampion ship honors in 1905-11-13; Hughey Jen- nings, whose Detroit club a’ bitter Skinker Eagies Also to Enter Bouwling and Foot Ball Realms | foe of the Athletics a decade later; Wilbert Robinson, later the picturesque pilot of Brooklyn's Trolley Dodgers; | William (Kid) Gleason, another to gain | | fame as a manager and as a lieutenant with Mack's 1929-30 champions; Wee Willie Keeler, Dan Brouthers and Steve Brodie. | PRSI |/ C AW and MACK Toda it and finally on the road to his great- est fame.
