Show CALLAHAN IS HARD WORKER FOR PIRATES - fTTrmn SKIPPER OF THE PITTSBURGH BUCCANEERS.. Jimmy Callahan has the sympathy of Pittsburgh fans in his fruitless endeavors endeav-ors 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 success 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 prac-tice in the afternoon, and from the time the game starts until the last man Is out he is the busiest and hardest working man on the lot. He talks to and tries to encourage the players going go-ing 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 Pi-rates started on a rally or to direct the runners around the bases. . Unlike McGraw and some other pilots, pi-lots, Cal does not pose on the lines when his club is winning and hide himself him-self 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 and untiring through it all. |
