McKechnie Tells Why Pirates Are At Top New York. July 8— “Nothing" HU McKechnie,. manager us the Pitts burgh Pirates. answered without hesi tation when he was asked today what had caused his club to ascend from last to first place in the National league. “We've got a good ba'.l dub," he went on to say, "and we’re up there because we Delong there. Were not claiming any pennant but we would' be saps it we didn't think we had a chance. ’ Tremenduous hitting, good pitching and a fine spirit have made what looks to be a pennant winner out of the Pirates. The most impressive things observed about this transformed team it its punch, its speed and its hustle. There was a time when the gameness of the team as a whole was questioned when its seriousness was doubt- ’ ed. But there is certainly nothing timid or slow about this team. Eight men on the team are hiting ■ • the ball better than .330 and three others are around .300. Lee Meadows i Is having the greatest year of his career. Yde. the southern sensation last year, is getting around in shape and the other pitchers, including 43 year old Adams, have been doing their duty. Two months ago it seemed that the Giants would be first in a runaway . race for the pennant and that the Pirates would do well to get out of the r second division. The Pirates are leading the league t by 20 points now. They play a doubleheader with the Giants today and I follow it with two single games. Much will depend upon the outcome of the present series. — o What Owen Carroll h Learned In Majors Sr New York, July B—Many causes are advanced as reasons for the difficulty • colege pitchers have in makjng the grade in fast professional company 1 They are all theories however. I One of the best opinions ever adJ vanced was given recently by Owen * Carroll, the former Holy Cross College star. In four years of college F baseball. Carroil won forty and lost • only two games and he was regarded » as the best pitcher developed on a I college diamond since Mathewson. At * ter finishing his college course Carroll reported to the Detroit Tigers and was knocked out of the box in his i first game against the Boston Red Sox I After the game Carroll said: | "The first thing 1 discovered was that I was facing eight good batters instead of three that are found usually on a good college team 1 found i that I was continually 'behind the batter'. By that I mean that I was ali ways in the hole. On the college dia j, mond 1 was always 'in front' of the batter and could waste a tew balls to work on him. Major league batters can't be worked on that way. The first t,hing I discovered was that they would not hit a bad ball. They wait out the pitcher ami I found myself always in the hole where I would have to lay the ball right over the plate and take a chance. "In college when a batter has two strikes on him he will swing invariably at anything, but it doesn't make any difference to a major league batter what you have on him. You can t pull him on a bad ball.” A.though he did not make an auspicious start and in spite of the opinion of somt smart baseball men that Ty Cobb is not the patient type of a manager to allow a young player a slow start, it is generally believed that Carroll will make good with the Tigers. As far as Cobb’s methods of handling the youngster 1h concerned it seems that the fiery Detroit mana ger did just what he was not expected to do. it is said that Cobb told Carrol: in the dressing room that all he was expected to do was to win one of his first six games. When Carroll went to the mound it was observed that all of the Detroit pitchers were on the bench and the bull pen was deserted When the best pitchers go to the mound it is the custom to send a catcher and one or two relief pitchers to the bull-pen to be ready for a call. Even when Cobb saw that Carrol: could not go the limit, he did not send a relief pitcher to warm up until the very last minute. o — K. of P- Notice The executive committe of the fiftieth aniversary celebration is requested to meet at 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening at the Pythian Home, in stallation of officers will lie held Thursday evening, also. All members are urged to be present.

The meeting was caused by the increasing number of accidents at in terurban crossings, and was part ot the campaign to reduce the toll. "It's not the fault ot the interurbans." said John Kitley, county com missioners. "The people in autos flirt with death constantly and seem to enjoy it. The fault is with the careless drivers.” "People don’t believe in signs any more", said Tom Ellis, county road superintendent. "The other day I saw a woman knock a sign down and turn her car over at a place where we were repairing the road." —, 0 Coolidge Enjoys Cool Sea Breeze At Swampscott Swampscott.
