RARE EXPLOITED FOR OWN
REASONS, NOT BASE BALL
Catches Habit That is Prevalent on COast--Waner
of Pirates Regarded As More of Sensation
i'm 1926 Than Yankee Slugger.

their owners because the owners
| would not buy Waner. though last
Spring they were giving Pittsburgh
the laugh for taking on an unknown
player ~<it a price that was out OF
reason.
Waner Is Overlooked.
Waner made the Pirates in 1926
They would not have been better than
30-cent piece without him. He was
the sensation of the season. really
greater than Ruth. He failed to get
as much credit because Ruth never
moves without a bass drum. Never
thelesS. 1t was better thing for a
first-year kid to keep a former cham
pionship team in the race most of the
year than it was for Ruth to behave
and be thrifty and help the Yanks
win.
Joe Devine was also smart enough
to tell Pittsburgh to go after Lloyd
Waner. a young brother of Paul. Cali
fornia men may he wrong in their es-
innate of Lloyd Waner, but they stick
TO it that he will be better player
than Paul has proved to he. If he is.
Oklahoma can take blue ribbons for
producing two great ball players. as
both of these kids are products of
that State.
Somebody told Bush that the Pitts
burghs are a slow starting team.
They didn't have to tell me- said
Bush. Il knew it by watching them
when I was with other teams. The
club signed up lot of ball playing
material that you'd say offhand would
play tag with the pennant. Then
what? They trained at Hot Springs
and they trained out here, and they
started in the race like a lot of snails
going to funeral.
They didn't get any start. That's
what allied them. Darned good ball
players going nowhere until the sea
son was along in May. Then they got
on their feet and began to win, but
LOOK at the ground they had lost and
which they might have had if they
had been playing ball right in April
and early May. Don't let anybody tell
you that you can afford to be too
darned conservative in base ball. This
yarn about the mud turtle catching
the jack rabbit can't get anywhere
with me. I'd rather my team would
do little jack-rabbiting and make the
other guys play the turtle roles.
I'm going to find out why this
Pittsburgh team can't win in the
Spring. If it doesn't win for me some
thing will bust. 1t may be me. but if
it is me, III be satisfied, because I'll
know why / busted
