From Barney Dreyfuss, veteran president of the Pittsburgh National League club, down to the local bat boy and including Peter Bill McKechnie, hustler manager, and every member of the 50 men in camp here, there seem to be a feeling that this is to be the Pirates’ year. McKechnie naturally is chary about predictions. It’s too soon to say how the club is going to shape up.’ He said today as he directed practice. But he hastened to add that he was in no wise dispelled with the way things were shaping up and indicated that he was looking forward to the opening of the season in a decidedly optimistic frame of mind. The collective eye of the baseball squad, management, camp for lowers and baseball critics trained on one addition to the Pirate squad. He is Al Niehaus. The Pirates need a first baseman and indications are that in New Hampshire they have found one.

Only short time ago he had composed his own obituary: "Here lies a superior person. In intelligent anticipation of life to come." Lord Curzon had been married to two American women, his first wife being Mary Victoria Leiter of Washington, D.C., and his second daughter of late J. Monroe Hinds, formerly American minister to Brazil. As he left no sons, marquiset becomes extinct.
