Cannon "Makee Shoot"

The silencer Is not an attachment

Although the gun is effective at a
distance OF 2.3 miles, It IS claimed.
the explosion cannot be heard more

Grimm there to play first base II
the Pirates had retained Grimm in
1925 and 1927 they would have been
much better off-and in 1925, too, for
that matter.
Cincinnati needs Cuyler. but it is
not very likely to get him. The Reds
are in a condition now where they can
begin to look forward to a change in
their pitching staff and they must
prop up their outfield.
The acquisition of Ulrich and
Thompson by Pittsburgh, assisted by
a new first baseman and by a high
class catcher in addition to the catch
ers on the team, would make the Pi-
rates one of the strongest teams in
the history of base ball. They would
force their way into the promised land

portant relationship to the base ball
market of the coming Winter AS a
possible maker of a championship
team, either by being transferred to
another club and strengthening that
club or by having his place filled on
the Pittsburgh club by excellent play
ers taken in exchange, Cuyler is a
figure of considerable Importance in
the National League.
Cuyler might make two or three
teams of the National League better.
Cincinnati and Brooklyn have been
hot-footing TO get him through the
medium of trade, and so. too, hare
Philadelphia and Chicago. New York
would like very much to have him. but
the Giants are not likely to obtain his
services. The Pittsburgh team will not
transfer Cuyler to any National League
club that is apt to be a strong rival
for the 1923 pennant.
The Pirates were beaten in the
world series. but they still think they
have a great ball team. They are
anxious to get back in 1923 to redeem
themselves, exactly as the New York
Yankees never were satisfied with the
thrashing they received in the 1926
world series. The Yanks win never
believe otherwise than that they were
a better ball team than the st. Louis
Cardinals
Brooklyn mas pitching material that
can assist the Pirates next year. IL
the Pirates wish to take Jess Petty
and whoever else Brooklyn may add
in exchange for Cuyler, the Pittsburgh
team will become at once a factor in
the 1923 race. Petty is the best south
paw In the National League. Despite
his age in base bah years. he may
come very strong in 1925 and again

Brooklyn is reaching out for more
strength. Bissonette. the first base

Brooklyn in 1928. He was let go to
Buffalo this year when rather good
base bali men thought he should have

Herman should have been sent away.
The Phillies would like to get Guy
Ter. If they would offer Pittsburgh
their pitcher Dutch Ulrich, and Fresco

IL VI %, especially so far as Ten

Garden program is concerned
promises to be one of the liveliest in
years.
Another brigade of heavyweights is
being marshalled for series of elimi-
nations leading up to selection of a
few logical contenders for Gene Tun-
ney's crown by the time the outdoor
season rolls around. In addition, re-
newed activity Is forecast among the
lighter divisions, especially in the fly
weight, bantamweight, featherweight
and light heavyweight ranks, all of
which involve some disputes about
title ownership.
The heavyweight punch-tossers al
ready have had a few preliminary
skirmishes. Within the next month
such more or less prominent figures
as Jack Delaney, Jack Renault, Jack
Sharkey, Pauline Uzcudun, Phil
Scott, the British champion, and Tom

Jack Delaney, whose come back in
a victory on foul over Pauline at
the Yankee Stadium was not impress
sive, will make another bid for heavy
weight recognition when he meets
Jack Renault Friday at the garden.
Renault was considered a fealsTt1tle
contender a few years ago. butMthat
rating no longer is accorded him. He
may furnish a good test for the
Bridgeport sharpshooter, however.
Phil Scott and Pauline are matched

Negotiations are understood to be

Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo to settle
the light-heavyweight tangle. Lough-
ran is recognized here as champion on
the strength of his victory over Mike

When Chick Evans was at the

player OH the links. Chick could
stick them up around the pins
without fail, as Jones, Ouimet,

was convinced Of one fact, and
that was that Chick let the club
head do the work. Chick mag
ined there was a line drawn
straight up from the ball, and he
never let his hands or body get
beyond this line until the ball was
hit. That is a good point for any
golfer to bear in mind.

YANk PAY ROLL BOOST
TO FOLLOW VICTORY

NEW YORK, October. II R).--The
pay roll of the New York Yankees,
now estimated to be between $250,OOO
and 100000 annually, stands in a
fair way of being still higher by the
time Manager Miller Huggins as
sembles his world champions at the
Spring training camp.
In view of the performances or
some of the Yankees in the world
series, it is very likely that the club
treasury will be obliged TO meet IN
creased salary demands.
Babe Ruths contract of $4,000
year has two more seasons to run.
The Bambino was asking for 100000
a year when he compromised with Col.
Jacob Rupert and accepted $2l0,0O0
for a three-year term.
Lou Gehrig. voted the most valuable
player in the American League, is
certain to get substantial salary
boost, while Tony Lazzeri, Mark
Koenig, George Pipgras and Earle
Combs. younger stars who added con"
siderably to their team worth during
the 1927 campaign, also figure to in
crease their earnings.
1t is understood that Wiley Moore,
who received $4,000 this season, asked
for a raise of $500 and was offered
81, 500 increase on 1928 contract.
