Meyer Looms as Manager of Year for Pirates
United Press Sports Writer notes Bill Meyer transformed a weak Pirates club into a pennant challenger. They trailed the Braves by three games after a 6 11 win over Cincinnati, with aging pitchers and key role players reshaping the lineup and defense. If they win, Meyer would be the first modern manager to take a last‑place team to a league title since 1900.
