The toughest job in the realm of baseball seems to be to find a com- petent first baseman for the Pirates. That club hasn't had a man who jcould hold down the job for any length of time since 1905, when Bar- ney Dreyfuss traded Kitty Bragsfield, the present National League umpire, then rated as one of the best first sackers in the game, to Philadelphia for Del Howard. Twenty men have {tried their hand at the job since that |time and not one has made a real | success of it. The job of finding the right man for this place has been handed down to Jimmy Callahan by Fred Clarke. Since Bransfield went | to the Phillies twelve years ago the | following men have at one time qr | another held down the first sack for | the Pirates: Del Howard, Homer | Hildebrand, Bill Clancy, Joe Nealon, | Al Storke, Harry Swacina, Warren { Gill, Jim Kane, Bill Abstein, Jack | Flynn, Ham Hyatt, Bud Sharpe, Fred | Hunter, Bill McKechnie, Jack Miller, Ed, Konetchy, Doc. Johnson, Hans | Wagner, Bill Hinchman, and Warren Adams. Adams, the youngster | claimed by the Pirates from the | Robins on waivers and later re- claimed hy the Robins and sent to! | Oakland, was the latest to fail at the job. In considering the above | names, the great excepticn is, of course, Hans Wagner. At the pre-| | sent time anyone who thinks he can play short might apply to Callahan. He's looking around for a good man. DETROIT EDS HITTERS.

The old | Tiger wrecking crew is not wreck- ling, whle tie Tiger pitchers are | turning in games that compare fair- ly well in the nuntber of hits allow- ed with any hurlers in the league. | Ty Cobb has not opened the season | with any tremendous fcrce of hit- | ting, and Veach, Heilman and Burns have slumped with him. The old | smashing attack is failing to dr.ve {the runs across. 'As a consequence, | the games are not being won. Since the start of" tais season, the Detroit | pitchers have permitted slightly | more than seven Lingles to each con- | test, | possess hurlers who are very little more effective. The Boston moands- | men have permitted within-a frac- ton of seven hits a game. On the clubbing side of the ledger the fig- ures show the Red Sox are out-hit- | ting the Tigers for the season by | approximately eight points. There jis the reason fcr the Tiger smash. | That is why they are not figuring in | the early season dash for first place.

AAA A A AS AI NNN A emall section of a telephone switchboard, showing the advantage of a pause between the hundreds and the tens in calling a number. When the Operator Says "One Two--Six Three" No doubt you have noticed the way the tilephone operator repeats numbers. When, for example, you ask for "One Two--Six Three," "One Two Six Three," . repeats she pausing just a fraction of a second between the hundreds and the tens. There's a real reason for this practice : The switchboard before which. the telephone operator sits is honey- combed with tiny holes, each the termination of a subscriber's line. These holes are in sections of one hundred. To locate "1263," the operator first finds the section labelled "12" and then the "63" hole in that section. Careful tests have proved that this method of repeating numbers tends to prevent mistakes, and, as the opesator more readily locates the required number on the switchboard, it helps to speed up your segvice. You can help the operator in her.efforts to give you quicker service by adopting this new style in calling telephone numbers. The Bell Telephone Co. _ OF CANADA.
