PITTSBURGH fans should certainly like the 1933 Pirates. for everything is being lone to entice the Smoky City’s tard-to-please spectators to come and see the home team play in Forbes Field this season. As our spotlight cuts through the haze, we .an pick out some very good reasons why the Pirates should do as well or even better than in 1932— and doing better than second place puts you right on top. The acquisition of Freddy Lindstrom gives the Pirates what appears to be the best outfield in the National league. The two Waner' brothers have been turning in a i srand of topnotch playing and hitting, and with Lindstrom, a right landed hitter, the garden contingent of the'Pirates should win the -espect of Pittsburgh fans as prob-i ibly the greatest combination that; ver was established thereabouts ft is no nine drcam talk tn sav

ii that the extra punch afforded by a . I hitter like Lindstrom may well have , i shoved the Pirates into the Pen- ’ nant rack last season. Freddy ’ didn’t hit as well as he could with ! the Giants last year. In his ninth i session with the New York outfit. . Lindstrom became persnickety over the retirement of John McGraw. His ! batting average of .271 in 1932 was well below his capabilities. He was i glad to leave the Giants, and it is a safe bet that he’ll average well ■ above .300 in 1933. There is little lacking in the Pirate infield, too.

to improve. Traynor, of course, is the best third-sacker in the League by a wide margin. The nicest gesture of the season was one which surely is appreciated by the fans—the hiring of Honus Wagner, a baseball immortal, as coach and assistant to George Gibson. It was a fine move on the part of the Pirates’ management. Wagner was the greatest shortstop in baseball history. McGraw called him the greatest ballplayer of all time. What the game owes him in gate receipts for his personal drawing could never be paid -and hell ' be worth every nickel he’s getting in his new job. Fans like that sort of thing, even if some people call it “sentiment.” If the Pirates can rustle up a brand of pitching equal to their garden and inlielil. there will be something to see when the Buccaneers get started. And if they need luck surely Honus Wagner will bring it to them ri.prrtthi 1>33 Kln« Fwnunw Stodlrgie lf»<
