Pittsburgh, Oct. 15.-(By the Asso-
eiated Press. baseball has unexpect-
ed and. at times. strange ways of
shifting It's forces: its athletes of
changing their colors.
There have been q number Of queer
twists OF fate that have brought stars
Of the rival Pittsburgh and Washing
ton clubs together in a battle that now
goes to the limit Of seven games to
decide the 1925 worlds championship.
There may be now turns Of the wheel
to come. for baseball circles have un-
der discussion the prospect that two,
and perhaps three of the outstanding
figures of the current series may don
their present uniforms for the last
time in the final game.
The figures in this discussion-for
that seems the only definite basis for
conclusions now-are Roger Feckln-
paugh, assistant manager and short
stop of the Senators, and Max Carey,
captain and center fielder of the FL
rates. Goose Goslin, left fielder of the
Senators and worlds series honne-run
king, Is the third individual involved
Most substantial Of the gossip link
ed with Peckinpaugh IL that the vet.
eran infielder is to succeed Lee rom
as manager of the Red Sox, going to
Boston in trade which would send
a capable pitcher to Washington, pos

Carey, It Is said, has managerial am

transaction which would also help the
Pirate pitching staff. To support TINS
it is pointed out that Barney Dreyfuss
Pittsburgh owner. has just obtained
at a high price one Of the most nighly
touted outfielders in the minors, Paul
waner Of San Francisco, along VILE
the crack shortstop Of the same ciuo
Hay Rhyme.
There has been no official support &c
this speculation thus far. DreyIusS
refuses to intimate any changes he
NAV have in mind so far as his pen

Carey has long been fixture mere an.

ambitions to take hold of another ma

offered itself.

norris Of a shift for Peckinpaugh. In
Warrington a few days ago he denied
that Peckinpaugh was to be invoivec
