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.
