Indianapolis to Become Buc Affiliate Under New Setup; Crosby Partner in Deal
By EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor Frank E. McKinney, who will continue as part owner and an executive of the Indianapolis Indians, was a big leaguer today as the
i president and part owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The deal for the Smoky City’s National franchise was completed there late yesterday. The transaction will have no effect on the operation of the Indianapolis club and Owen J. Bush will stay on as Tribe president and part owner. After this season, however, arrangements will be completed to swing the Indians into the Pittsburgh baseball setup, which means that the Tribesters eventually will be separated from the Boston Braves affiliation. Mr. McKinney always has sought to become a major league executive and now he’s in. He was attracted to the Pjttsburgh franchise despite the Pirates’ lowly position in the National league standings by the fact that it is a one-club big league city. In addition, it has ‘a good park and plenty of population in its area.
THE EDITOR'S HORN
The news that Frank E. MeKinney was in Pittsburgh negotiating for the purchase of the Pittsburgh Pirates was revealed exclusively in The Times on Saturday, July 27. The story went on from there, picked up in national reader interest day by day and finally “broke” in the midafternoon yesterday.

Ownie Bush today expressed In- | dianapolis’ congratulations to Mc- | Kinney by saying “the best of luck and we all hope you make good from the start.” Mr. Bush had an opportunity to join Mc McKinney in becoming part owner of the Pirates but decided |to concentrate all of his baseball interests here. | “Anyway,” Bush said, “I have had my big league fling, Frank is only 42, sharp as a tack, and still filled with youthful determination and enthusiasm to get to the top in the national pastime.” Associated in the purchase of the Pirates with Mr. McKinney and Bing Crosby, who has severed his connections with horse racing, were Thomas A.

Proam of Boyhood ge 7 UR McKinney's Love for Baseball Handed Down From Father
4 By J. E. O'BRIEN, Times Staff Writer Frank E. McKinney, 42-year-old Indianapolis banker who bought the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday, absorbed a love of baseball as a child from his ball-playing father, Roscoe McKinney, assistant Indianapolis fire chief, and once a sec= ond-baseman in the old Illinois State league, recalls how he religiously took his young son Frank to all games around the city, But young McKinney's interest . = overweighed his - talent, and he| chose a managerial role to that of | participant, Now part owner of; the Indianapolis Indians, Mr. Mec-' Kinney first piloted his Sacred] Heart school team and then advanced into the semi-pro ranks, managing a city championship team in the late 20's. It was here that he cemented a friendship with Ownie Bush, con-| tinually on the scout for new talent —and their association eventually, led to the purchase of the Loulsville Colonels of the American association and then the Indianapolis club, While baseball has been Mr, Mc-| Kinney's hobby and No. 1 outside interest, banking has been his life work. He entered the business at the age of 14 as a messenger and worked steadily while studying at night school or with correspondence courses. His father enjoys relating how his son Frank shunned recreation and athletics for sessions with the text-| books, He advanced rapidly and now is| president of the Fidelity Trust Co.| of Indianapolis. He also has been active in Dem- | ocratic circles and was elected to two terms as treasurer of Marion] county. Mr. McKinney purchased the Indianapolis club’ in the winter of 1941-42 along with Mr. Bush, Prior to that they were part owners of the Louisville club in 1939 and 1940, selling out to the Boston Red Sox when Mr. Bush's health failed. But just as soon as Ownie was “back on his feet,” the old friends “| purchased the Indians from Norman A. Perry Sr. War interrupted Mr. McKinney's role as a baseball executive: The army asked him to come to Washington, along with other outstanding bankers, to -process loans to war industries. He was stationed in New York and attained the rank of colonel before his release from service last fall. A native of Indianapolis and of Irish stock, Mr. McKinney is described by his friends as a “real family man.” He married a South side school mate. Margaret Warner, and they have three children, a daughter Clara, 13, and sons Robert, 10, and Frank Jr, 8 Young Robert, incidentally, served as batboy for the Indians during the early part of the current season.

Jim Puett Goes. To St. Joseph's
Jim Puett, all-state football cene ter at Butler in 1928, 1929 and 1930, was signed today as line coach for the St, Joseph's college Pumas. As an all-round athlete Puett starred at Logansport high school until his graduation in 1925. He played professional . football with the Portsmouth, (O.), team when it was a member of the National league. Later coached Wolcott, Plymouth, Logansport, and Gilmore Township high schools. Puett and Art Cosgrove, former coach of Reitz Memorial high school, Evansville, will assist Dick Scharf when St. Joe resumes inter collegiate competition this fall,
