Pirates’ Bold Bid Domes As Real Surprise

PITTSBBURGH. Aug. 30 -(AP) —Plttsburgh Pirates’ bold bid for the National League pennant comes as a real surprise by a team of destiny's tots-and tottering.

Even today none but the‘most rabid fans concede the Bucs s real pennant chance. But you can't laugh off s club which has won 1'7 out of 25 in s streak against the other seven teams and now is only three games from the leadership

Actually the red-hots are dis- appointed beesuse the Pirates are not leading. The more sensible sometimes wonder what. keeps them as high as they me.

"They're even talking pennant now," grinned Billy Meyer. s post-graduate in baseball ways but a freshman as a big league manager guiding the Pirates.

“When I took over this job everybody told me t-hst it we fin- ished fifth we'd be doing all right. I never thought I hsd anything better than s fifth-place bail club. But I can't get the fans to remember that."

Billy hid sound basis for his early season reasoning on the Bucs_

He had to field a teem compos- ed lu-gely of cast-offs. untried rookies and esins olevm who in the form sheets should have been slowing up.

The Burs‘ mound star, rookie Bob Chesnes. was a big question mark because of an arm ailment. He's won ll and lost three.

~"It allproyeshow fasaelub esn get with a little hustle.” Meyer commented. "I said at the first of the year we expected to keep mov- ing-snd we have."
