Ci.,cinna.::. Oct. Lit won't BE-
long now before the fal. gossip
about big league trades gets into
Jul! swing. That is an annual GUS
tor, ~ soon ~ the world series is
over.
This fa:i the player most talked
about rs trading material is Xxi"
Cuyier, The star in-bad ou.fielder
{! the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The drastic action Of Manager
Dusl. and Owner Dreyfuss in keep
ine Cuyicr on the bench, while wag-
ng ore Of tho toughest battles ii,
ne history % the Eat!ona! League
to WIN 4 pennant and all during the
past world series. makes it seem a
certainty chat Cuyler is doomed to
70 elsewhere for 1923.
Unless hoth Manager Bush and
Player Cuyier arc willing to let by
cones ne ty.gcnes, Unless Cuylcr is
willing to admit publicly that he was
il srror. thereby Offering a reason
ior lis continued henching. it hardly
seems possible tina. lie will fit into
the Pirate lineup for next year.
IL Great Player
Cuyle- is grea. ball player. With
lin in the ou:fie!i between the
Waner boys, Pittsburgh would have
one Q. the greatest trio o. gardeners
in baseball, perhaps the best since
the Gays Il Lewis, Speaker and
Hooper OF .nc Boston RED SoE. In
addition. 60 valuable q fielder as
Barnhart would be OH the bench
ready for any emergency.
Xxi" is excellent trading mater
4. Any club in the National League
would be delighted to make a deal
for him. However, Pittsburgh will
insist on something worthwhile in
return and only few clubs can Of
fer such a package.
1t is known that a deal with the
Cincinnati Reds is on the fire and
Cuyler will 60 to that club if Man
ager Bush can get the players he
desires in the deal.
Realizing that the first and second
base side Of his infield is rather
weak, Bush is angling with scvera
clubs that have such trading mater.
