BLL M’KECHNIE,

managing ball clubs since 1922, when he took over the Pittsburgh Pirates. . . . He succeeded George Gibson as pilot July 1 of that season. . .. Bill continued as Pittsburgh’s skipper until the completion of the 1926 season, finishing in the first division each year.
His record in the Smoky City shows one fourth place,two thirds, and one championship and World Series triumph. . . . The flag was annexed in 1925, and was culminated by the conquest of the Washington Senators. ~Released by the Pirates and succeeded by Owen Bush after dhe 1926 race, McKechnie. was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals as coach. .. . In 1928 he was named Cardinal pilot, directed the team to the National League pennant, then was released when his team was

Bill moved to the Rochester Internationals for the first half of the 1929 season, returned to the Cardinals for the second half when the chiefs there realized their blund-
er and recalled him.
The Cards were sunk in the second division then, but McKechnie brought them into fourth place, then resigned to accept the job with the Boston Nationals that he held for the eight years prior to joining
Cincinnati for the 1938 season.
At Boston, without capital behind him, he finished fourth twice,

SEBRING, Fla., Feb. 11.—Some of the big league ball players are start"ling to drift South and this has set us to thinking of some of the pleasant; amusing and interesting adventures we have had in various spring -|camps. The mid-victorian badger game was beginning to lose its novelty as a .come-on for the rustic busher when we first began to travel with the ball clubs. You never hear of it any more. As you probably know the badger game is strictly a hoax where the innocent boob winds up in a very embarrassing position. Instead of

“The only time we ever saw. the’ c.|badger worked was in San Antonio. Mr, Fritz Coumbe, a lefthanded pitcher with the Cleveland club, was the victim. Mr. Ceumbe proved to very naive indeed. He was victimized twice the same night. This was ‘after the oldsters on the club had. talked. him into believing the first badger fight was just a prank, the second would. be the real McCoy. It was, too. The Clevelands won the pennant and the World Series in 1920 and| the next year they trained at Dal-
