CALLAHAN IS HARD WORKER FOR PIRATES

Jimmy Callahan has the sympathy of Pittsburgh fans in his fruitless endeavors to get some real baseball out of the bunch of material that he has at his command, writes James J. Long in Pittsburgh Sun. Certain it is not due to any lack of effort on Cal’s part that the club is not playing better ball. No manager or player ever worked harder for the succejss of the club.. The skipper Is out on the field with the men in morning practice every day and misses no detail of the exercises; it is the same during preliminary practice In the afternoon, and from the time the game Starts until the*Tast man is out he Is the busiest and hardest working man on the lot. He talks to

and tries to encourage the prayers going to and coming from their positions, and Pittsburgh’s turns at bat In every inning finds him out on the coaching lines trying everything to get the Pirates started on a rally or to direct the runners around the bases. Unlike McGraw and some other pilots, Cal does not pose on the lines when his club is winning and hide himself when it is behind._ The score doesn’t make any difference to him. If his team is ten runs behind he is out working all the harder. The Pirates have played some ball that would drive many a manager to a madhouse, but Callahan has been even tempered anduntiring through It all.
