Most observers pick Bill McKechnie's crew to finish well toward the top. The Pirates figured in the most sensational-trade ot the winter season when they sent three veterans— Charley Grimm, first sacker; Rabbit Maranvllle, secpnd baseman, and Wil bur Cooper, southpaw pitching nee— to the Chicago Cubs for George Gran tham, second baseman; A1 Niehaus, first sacker, and Vic Aldridge, right handed twirler. Relative advantages of this whole sale transaction have aroused keen debate. The Pirates will go Into the race with plenty of outfield strength and a fine pitching staff. Max Carey, Carson Blgbee, Hazen Cuyler and Clyde Barnhart probably will patrol the outer pastures, reinforced by Grantham, who held down the key stone sack for the Cubs last season, but Is expected to be transformed Into a regular outfielder. The Infield Is the Pirate question mark. Fromm* will be replsced by Nlehaus, a newcomer.
