BY The Associated Press.
Pittsburgh, Oct. 15.-Dnscball has
unexpected and at time strange ways
OF shifting its forces: It's athletes OF
changing their coors.
There have been a number Of
queer twists OF fate that have
brought stars Of the rival Pitts
burgh and Washington clubs TO-
gether in battle that now goes to
the limit OF seven games to decide
the 1925 world championship. There
may be new turns OF the wheel to
come. For baseball circles have un-
der discussion the prospect that two
and perhaps three Of the outstand-
ing figures OF the current series
may don their present uniforms for
the last time In the final game.
The figures in this discusson-for
that seems the only definite basis
for conclusions now--are Roger
Peckinpaugh. assistant manager and
shortstop Of the Senators, and Max
Carey, captain and ccnterfcldcr Of
the Pirates. Goose Goslin, left field
er OF the Senators and world series

ual involved.
Most substantial OF tho gossip
linked with Peckinpangh Is that Of
the veteran inhelder is to succeed
Lee Foil as manager OF the Red
Sox, going TO Boston in a trade
which would send 4 capable pitcher
10 Washington, possibly Howard
Ehmke.

Barney Dreyfuss, Pittsburgh owner,

one OF the most highly touted out
1elders in the minors Paul Waner

There has been no official support
Of this speculation thus far. Drey-
fuss refuses 10 intimate any
changes he may have in mind so far
as his pennant winning regulars are
concerned. Carey has long been a
fixture here and in the end. this
might outweigh his ambitions tc
take hold of another major league
