Last year in Dallas the Mustangs

perior Centenary team that the Red

game as Ownby Stadium resembled

TO cover. Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth's
companion in swat, was credited
with a triple, but the credit should
have gone to Paul Waner who made
n single good for three bases by
diving at it head first.
The Waner twins" billed as the
best brother act in baseball, ran tru
to form, Paul getting three of his
teams nine hits and Lloyd scoring
half Of the runs A..
The sun peeped through the dark
ness Of defeat for the Pirates
through the performance of John
Miljus, former local sand lotter,
minor league diamonds since he
served his apprenticeship at Law
renceville. a Pittsburgh suburb. Mil
jus relieved Kremer with none out in
the sixth inning and breezed the
rest Of the way, battling the Yankees
consistently with a good curve ball
and change Of pace. He permitted
but one hit, a single by Ruth and
wiped it out when he caught the big
man flat footed after he reached
first, and started a successful move
ment for his retirement.
The Yanks got some good pinch
pitching too. Waite Hoyt, after pre-
senting an in and out performance,
palpably unable to make the ball be-
have at times, was told to call il a
day after two singles had placed the
tying runs on the bases for Pitts
burgh in the eighth inning. Wiley
Moore. the big Oklahoma pitcher,
was called to keep the runners on
the bases where they could do no
harm. Harris got one Of them over
the plate by slamming out a single
but Moore got rid Of the rest Of
them in fast time. One Of the vic
Tins of Moore in the ninth was
Freddie Brickell, n youngster, who
was sent in to hit for Miljus. Some
Of the fans took issue with Manager
Bush in his selection and called
loudly for Cuyler, who has not play
ed Of late for the Pirates although
he was the 1925 world series hero
and has a current batting average
over 300. The suggestion from the
fans seemed to be not that they
loved Brickell less. but Cuyler more.
Some said that Brickell would not
hit the ball very far. This was cor
rect for he bounded weakly to
Moore.
