DREYFUSS SEES THE PENNANT

Pirate Chief Is Certain of Victory in National League This Year —Breaks His Rule. President Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates is a silent man. In all the years of his baseball experience he never claimed anything in advance, at least verbally. Now he has broken the rule. He says Pitsburg will win the pennant. .-1 "It has been my motto never to claim the flag until it has been won on the diamond,” said the Pirate chief. “I believe in sawing wood and letting the other fellow do the talking. “It is different this year. Pittsburg will take the pennant I never felt so sure of anything as I do of that. I am absolutely certain we will show the way home this year. I can’t see anything that can beat us. Good or bad luck may break our way, but we have the team, and that's what does the business.” So there goes another record. Dreyfuss never talked that way before.
