GIBSON RESIGNS AS MANAGER OF PIRATES Barney Dreyfus Accepts Action, and Bill McKechnie Appointed Leader of Team—Players Surprised Pittsburgh, Jnly 1,—The baseball public was surprised last night to learn that a change of management in the Pirates had taken place, The new leader of the Pittsburgh club is Willtam R, MecKechnie, After yesterday's game, in which the Pirates were defeated by the St l.ouis Cardinals, & to 0, Manager George Gibson called the players to- gether and told them that he had de- cided to resign in the interests of the team, hoping for a change of fortunes, He said that he had no blame for any one, but that he felt the team should have another manager. He thanked all the players and said he was leaving without a feeling of rasentment against any of them. He wished they all the luck possible and hoped they would reach a better position in the pennant race, The players were surprised, as they had had no warning that Gibson was discouraged over the team's showing. They have been striving to get out of a rut for some time, but the pitchers have failled dismally in recent games, and what good batting they displayed has gone for naught. Gibson left the club house and went to the office of Barney Dreyfus, presi- dent of the club, and tendered his resignation, which was accepted im- mediately, giving the impression that it was at least desired by the Pirates' management After Gibson had de- parted for his home, McKechnie, the assistant manager, was called in and appointed manager. He takes charge at once McKechnie is a local boy, and for- merly played with the Pirates as well as with the Giants, the Cincinnati Reds and New York Yankees. He also played for and managed the In- dianapolis team when it won the Federal league pennant several years ago, He is popular with the players, and it is believed that the team will take a brace under his management.

The game will start. at 3 o'clock, and Umpire Eddie Crowley will hold the indicator.

Neither managers have made any announcement as to their pitching selectio It is probable, however, that Manager McConn of the locals will trot out McCormick, the kid slabster, Mac showed up very well against the Winsted veterans, and the manner in which he mowed down the veterans on the up-state team, was the source of considerable satisfac- tion. “KEWPIE” GREAT WORK Pennington, Hartford Hurler, Has Twirled 37 1-3 Innings Without Al- lowinz a Run, Setting Record.

Hartford, July 1.—Orders were is- day under which a detail of one offi- cer and 34 men of the 192d artillery ! other hustler, who is piloting the Vikings, to what looks like a very successful season, ‘has gathered a TWO FAST GAMES ON HOLIDAY PROGRAM Colliers vs. Pizates, Corbin ¥s. Vikings at Walnut Hill Park Two very fine baseball attractions have been booked for the Fourth of July program at Walnut Hill Park next Tuesday afternoon. The first game will be called at 1:45 o'clock, and the contesting teams will be the Colliers and the Pirates Juniors. The little matter of supremacy between these clubs has been the source of many arguments in the past. The bat- tle should be a keen affair. Tobin Can Pick 'Em, On diamond No. 2, at 3 o'clock, the P. & F. Corbin team will cross bats with the Vikings, and no better baseball attraction could be booked. The Corbin team has been going along at a winning clip since Johnny To- bin, “the live wire" took hold of the team this season. Looking over the list of players Manager Tobin has gathered together, one can see al a glance just why the Park street lads are traveling along at a speedy clip. Clinton To Catch Again, While Carozza has been doing stellar work in the backstop position, the management has secured the serv- ices of that grand performer, Jimmy Clinton, for some of the big games on the schedule. The catching duty will be divided between this pair. Three Good Pitchers. Manager Tobin is fortunate in hav- ing a trio of corking good pitchers, | all of whom are in excellent condi- tion. They are Jerry Griffen, whose work two years ago in the Industrial league, proved sensational. Then there is “Dick' Hyland, the possessor of a trunk full of curves and bend- ers. Jimmy Chalmers has displayed some of the form that made him one of the best hurlers in these parts in days gone by. The Corbin Infield. Tommy Blanchard will be found at the initial sack, a position he is play- ing to a perfection this season. Cap- | tain Patrus will guard the midway | station and although he has been | playing shortstop in most of his| games this year, his work at second | base has been very satisfactory| “Chuck” Wojack will guard the dizzy | A P )3 P a corner, and he can do this to the king’'s delight. Preisser will be at shortstop. Outfield Looks Good. Huber, the clouting demon of the team has been landing on the ball like Babe Ruth used to. Mickey Stauff holds down the center pasture, grabbing 'em to the right and left of him, a la. Tris Speaker. Jackson completes an outfield that measures up to any in these parts in the opin- ion of the Corbin rooters. Art Ackerstrom’'s Aces. Manager Arthur Ackerstrom, an- le le fine collection of players, as follows: Phil Bloom, catcher; Bill Wolfe and | Philip Nelson, pitchers; Steve John- son, first base; Willia Fitzpatrick, se- cond base, Harry Hillstrand, short- | stop: Carl Dahlstrom, third base; Hjalmer Paulson, outfielder; Parson, outfielder; Behnke, outfielder; Clancy, outfielder; Snyder, outfielder, and Car! Berg, outfielder. Wiliam “Red” | Campbell, will hold the indicator. ar VETS MAKE COMPLAINT San Francisco, July 1,—Complaint that the vocational training school established by the United.
