STRENGTHENED OJJTFIELD
INCREASES BUGS CHANGES
Hurting Staff Improved and Players Are in Finer
Condition This Season-Bush's Fiery Spirit
Expected TO Aid Club Considerable

Third, DOME Bush--it's in evidence
now that this is different mans
team this year. as regards the boss.
Perpendicularly. there is no more of
Bush than when he played shortstop
for Detroit. Horizontally. he hash {
grown so much. Under Donie's base
ball cap there is an aggressive per
sonality that has given heart to these
Pittsburgh players. who like a yes
and no. manager.
Nothing but a deluge or avalanche
will prevent this Pittsburgh team
from being better in it's pitching de.
partment, better in the outfield, better
in muscle and more formidable in
attack than it was last season.
OF course, there may happen to it
diversity Of ills such as now and
then hit base ball teams and upset
hopes. but scan them closely and you
can rest assured that DOME Bush is
going into the fight with better
Pittsburgh team than anbIed last
Spring.

NASO ROBLES. calf. March A.
Pittsburgh has a better team
than that which started the
season of 1926. and il would
seem, therefore, that the Pirates
have a better chance TO win the
pennant than they had last year.
They have, unless there are teams in
the National League which have inn
proved their personnel in like ratio.
There are three reasons why Pitts
burgh Is better.
First, the outfield is better and the
pitching STAFF has been improved.
Young men are available for Pitts
burgh's csutfield who will play much
better bye ball than Max Carey
played la.S Spring. one of the mis-
takes of McKechnie was in cIinging
TO Carey when the latter was obvious
ly not fit. The illness that seized upon
carey on his way To Paso Robes in
1925 sapped his strength to far
greater degree than he knew or his
club manager realized.
Fred Clark was right when he adj,
vised that Carey should he relieved
by an outfielder of more fitness, but
MoKechnie chung to Carey, because
as manager he lacked the f1rmness TO
ask Carey to retire temporarily. What
happened after that is history. Clarke

thinks the old ball players with whom
he had been so long associated threw
him down.
Pitchers Much Stronger.
Ts1cen generally, the Pirate pitchers
are Is per cent in advance of any
thing they showed in 1926 at their
Spring training camp. The old and
the young hurlers have been here
for some time and except for those
who succumbed to the grip or flu,
or whatever It is that ravages base
bali camps, the pitchers have worked
faithfully-severely, It could be said
and are almost At right now to start
a season. That's unusual for Cali.
fornia.trafned teams.
Second, Pittsburgh has gained
strength by fattening its players.
There's something new in base ball.
Usually, players arrive at training
camps overweight. but the Pittsburgh
team quit the season last year with
its young men run down to scare
crows. The excitement of trying to
win again and the internal dissension
wore upon them. When they were
through and tho bitterness of disap-
pointfneut had been sweetened just q
little. all of them who could were ad-
vised to get out in the open and
build up.
Pie Traynor, who win captain the
team this year, went to Wisconsin to
hunt and is here 20 pounds heavier
than when he quit base ball last Fall.
Glenn Wright, of whom such gloomy
rumors were circulated in New York
during the Winter. never has APP
peared as well IN his life. He is more
than $50 pounds heavy and more than
500 pounds cheerful. Cuyler has

SHUMAKER APPEAL
MAY Be FILED HERE.
Senators Watson and Robin
son Drawn Into Supreme
Court Contempt Case.

r. the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. September
17-Indiana political uproar broke
forth anew today when DIR. L. S. Shu-
maker. Anti-Saloon League superin-
tendent and Senators James +. Wat
son and Arthur r. Robinson dis
agreed over whether an attempt was
made to influence Supreme Court
action in the Shumaker contempt
case.
Last month Shumaker was SEN
fenced to 60 days imprisonment and
fined S250 but as n result of today's
contradictory disclosures. Attorney
General Arthur l.. Giliom filed in
court motion to increase this
punishment.
The controversy became known
when letters exchanged by Watson
and Shumaker in August. 1926. were
published and subsequently conflict
ing statements were issued by them
and by Senator Robinson, who was
mentioned in the letters.
Version of Shumakcr.
Shumaker said that Watson told
him he had talked with three SUI
preme Court judges and they had as
sured him tWatsom that Shumaker
would not be sent to Jail and that no
action would be taken until after the
1926 election, at which the Senators
both were elected. Shumaker re-
ceived this assurance from Watson
IN a telephone conversation. he said,
hu; a letter written shortly there
after To the Senator received reply
tnat placed a different construction
on their talk.
The Watson letter denied that the
senator had talked with the judges.
IL Ia f0r nh h. IL
discussed he contempt case with him,
asking Watson ito work in his own
Way" to improve Shumaker's position.
IN a statement today from Roches-
ter. Mimi, sanitarium, where he Is
confined, Senator Watson said he had
never spoken to any judge about any
case which was being heard or tried
before him."
Robinson Comedies Talking.
4 Robinson, in a statement, said that
discussed the contempt case with him,
Watson, but that he had told Shu-
maker he could do nothin5 for him
and knew nothing of the substance
Of the telephone conversation be-
tween Watson and Shumaker.
( In his motion to modify judgment
and increase sentence. Gilom listed
the Senators, the league superintend-
ant, Clyde A. Walb Republican State
chairman, Boyd Gurley, editor of the
Indianapolis Times, and Henry Lane
Wilson as witnesses. 1t was from
Wilson's Culver. Ind. home that Wat
son talked to Shumaker over the tele-
phone.
Increase of sentence, the motion
said, was sought on the ground that
"tl1e same now appears inadequate
because of corrupt demands by him.
the said Shumaker, to corruptly in
fuence decision favorable to him in
this cause
sShumaker's conviction proceeded from
publication by him in a journal Of
the league of statements alleged de-
rogatory to the Supreme Court. Gill
iom at that time filed a charge of
contempt arising from the publication
and made not only Shumaker but
Jesse Martin, league trustee. and
Ethan A. Miles, attorney, defendant
in the action. In the decision, Miles
was found not guilty, Martin and Shu
maker guilty. Shumaker was SEN
fenced last month and is expected to
file an appeal to the United States
Supreme Court October 5, the date
upon which Martin is to appear for
sentence.
