He had faced the cleverest of boxmen, he had pitted his efforts against the best hitters of modern times, he had carried ghrough cam- paigns on battlefields throughout the But it was not until the fifth game that Bl MecKechnle, Pirate chieftain, turned t® McInnls and sent him out upon the fleld be- fore a hostile throng in Washington to clalm the title which was fast lipping from his grasp. Washing- ton had won three games and Pitts- burgh one. When McInnis went out to first base he took confidence with him. From then the Pirate team was re- formed. ‘The old head, stationed at the first corner of that youthful in- field worked marvels, There was nothing sensational abont his play but the youths soon learned that a throw in the general direction of first base was a putout. When trouble threatened there came the firm words of McInnis across the field of play. When a moundman faltered the first baseman was at his side, urging him on Stuffy cannot he considered the hero of Pittsburgh's victory, but he was the pawn that McKechnie moved in the nick of time when all other pleces had failed—the pawn that checked.
