UNION PRESS.COURIER PAGE SEVEN Thursday, Apri 17, 1647 NORTH CAMBRIA and General Comment Pittsburgh Pirates Enlarge Extensive Scouting System 22 Men Combing Land In Search for Talent The new scouting system of the Pittsburgh Pirates is one of the most comprehensive in baseball. Making’ certain that no part of the country will be overlooked in the Pirates’ search for the best young material available, President Frank E. McKinney, Farm Director Ray Kennedy, General Manager Ray Hamey and Chief Scout Ted Mc- Grew have divided the country into 11 zones and assigned each sector to a particular scout. There are no fewer than 22 men on the corps that will be combing the bushes in every section of the land in quest of potential by league players for the Buccaneers. In addition to the former umpire and veteran scout, Ted McGrew himself recognized as one of the ablest scouts and best judges of baseball timber in the business, and who is chief of the Pittsburgh staff, the regular scouting crew includes Babe Herman, Lloyd Waner, Bill Hinchman, Heine Ma- nush, Spud Davis, Ziggy Sears, Jack Egan, Mickey O'Neill, Her- man Pillette, Sam Robert, Connie Welch, Poke Whalen, Dunk Far- rell, Bob Hipp, Eddie Marshall Charlie Gault, Leo Mackey, Joe Brehany, George Speirs, Joe Polla and Ralph DeLuello. These are just the regular work- ers, or full-time salaried men, each with a special territory to cover. In each locality, a number of “bird dogs” will be employed, besides, to aid the regular scouts and “spot” material for them to look over at the earliest opportunity.
