JBEZDEK TO PUT PEP IN PIRATES i Pittsburg Appears to Have Strong Aggregation Lined up for This Year's Race. ; fjITTSBURQ. Feb. It. (L N. 8.) Pittsburg fans are taking lively interest in Hugo Besdek and his Pirates. Unlike the Pirates of the past two or three rears, the Buecos of 1918 sppear to have something-. ! They have been strengthened by trades and pur chases during- the winter, and they are looking up. In. other years the Pittsburg team h been vitally weak in many of the most Important positions. Barney Dreyfus and Besdek got their heads to gether and decided to remedy these weaknesses. They have succeeded ad mirably. Ex. Dodgers to Aid The acquisition of George Cutahaw and Casey Stengel will work for the up lift of the team beyond a doubt. With .Max Carey and Stengel sure to fill two outfield positions. . and King, Blgbee. Jackson and Hlnchman to battle it out for the third position, Pittsburg is well fixed. King has shown the- earmarks of a terrific hitter, and he may bloom out Just as Eddie Roush did last season. The Pirate infield candidates repre sent a lot or strength as they stand now, Vie Saler is the leading candidate for first base, but Mollwitz will get a trial PlUer and Cutshaw will be the second Vase candidates and Boeckei, Caton, and Stumpf will be out for the other positions. I Team Looks Better t The Pirates are not mourning the loss of Al Mamaux. The young hurler did not show Besdek or Callahan any class last year, and, besides, he was dissatis fied. In Cooper the Bucoos have one of the best left-handers in the National league, while Bob Steele and Earl Ham ilton complete the south pawed branch of the staff. The right-handers are Carl son, a big, strong youngster with . 1917 experience; Evans, Hill. Jacobs and Miller, who should be ready for regular duty en the 'firing line, and Milllgan. Sanders and Ponder. Six catchers will battle for the regular jobs, with Bill Fischer the leading can didate for first catcher again this year. The remaining Pirate windpad artists are Blackwell. Schmidt, Shaw, Smith and Bill Wagner. All In all the Pirates look much better than they did a year ago, and if Besdek should be fortunate enough to uncover a crack fnfletder he could well afford to test on his oars.

Brand Whitlock tells how this little country valiantly tried to de fend its liberty. How the "iron heel" of the German kaiser.crunched the life out of the helpless Belgians. It will probably never be your privilege to again read as mo mentous, as vital, as wonderfully written a history of actual events. So delightfully does Mr. Whitlock tell the story from records ; kept day by day as the incidents actually happened, that everything heretofore published on the subjectwill seem like snapshots as com pared with,a great painting by a master artist. : This Serial Story Will Appear in Smnday Jomrinsil.
