Earl Smith, a Pittsburgh mainstay behind the plate, is praised as a fine receiver and a strong hitter. He joined the Pirates from the Boston Braves during 1924 after previous stints with the Giants, including the 1921 and 1922 World Series appearances.
A brief profile notes Pittsburg youngster Glenn Wright as a sensational shortstop and a star at bat and in the field, a valuable cog in the Pirate machinery all season.
Emil Yde, last year’s pitching sensation among the youngsters, won 16 games with only three losses. This season he is even better and has largely kept the Pirates out in front.
Clyde Barnhart, once mediocre in 1924 with a .276 mark in 102 games, returns strong in 1925. He hits often and finds timely opportunities, his bat winning many games for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Tot Star praises Fred Clarke and Manager McKechnie as key figures behind the Pittsburgh Pirates pennant and world championship. Eddie Moore, a rising youngster, shines at both infield and outfield with a .359 debut season. Pie Traynor is praised as the NL’s best third baseman, a strong fielder and hitter, giving McKechnie solid confidence at the bat position.
The Muscatine Journal announces its Play Board will again display World Series games in exact detail as received from Washington and Pittsburgh. Large crowds have followed the board since its inception, and even more fans are expected this year due to heightened interest.
