Jimmy Callahan, former manager of the White Sox, goes into the National league race this year, for the supreme test of his career as a manager of major league baseball clubs. At the helm of the Pirates with a brand new baseball club of his own selection, he must live or die by his own efforts as a structural pilot. Theer is scarcely a member of the club as it was when Fred Clarke made good his threat to become a farmer. It isn't certain that Hans Wagner will be present to hold down first. If that is the case then Callahan will have to figure all over again for a guardian at that station, for Wheeler Johnston has departed for the minors.

At second base he seems to have dug up a real star in young Farmer. Shortstop promises to give Callahan some worry, for he has dispensed with young Jimmy Smith and Wagoner doubtless will not attempt Mrs. W.

The outfield doubtless will be composed of Hinchman, Carey and Big-bee, of whom the latter has hown promises of living up to the wonderful advance notices sent out for him. He is a hitter of class, a smart base runner, and a fast, sure fielder. He will make a great running mate for Carey.
