NOISY COACHING IS POPULAR

Jimmy .Callahan, New Manager of Pirates Disagrees With Former President Taft. Professor Taft’s idea of voiceless coaching, as expressed by the former president at the recent National league banquet, seems unpopular. Jimmy Callahan, new manager of th© Pittsburgh Pirates, is one manager who has announced his stand against quiet coaching. X “Noisy coachirtg may not suit men of a sensitive nature, but I believe the fans generally in the United States like It,” said Callahan in reply to Mr. Taft. “Half of the sport in the game would be taken away by stopping the noise in connection with the sport and I don’t believe the men who make baseball rules will ever legislate out loud coaching. “Nerve is a vital essential for a ball player, and if he has it the coaching doesn't bother him. If he hasn’t, then he is one of-the few who will object to the loud coaching.”
