STENGEL WILL BE BIG HELP TO PIRATE TEAM

The acquisition of Casey Htengel by the Pirates has bolstered up Hugo Bezdek’s outfield to such an extent that it makes it one of the best in the league. With Stengel, Max Carey and Lee King guarding the outer defenses, the Pittsburgh club will be more formidable in this respect than it has been for several years. Carey, of course, is one,of the greatest ers in the game, and King, though a youngster, gives promise of developing into a pretty good player. Bill Hinchman,-, who sustained a broken leg last season/and who was on the shelf most of the time, has recovered from the injury and may give King a fight for a regular berth in the outfield. He will also be valuable as a pinch hitter.
