Series Opinions

By United Press
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5.-Miller
Higgins, manager Of the Yankees,
and Ownie Bush, pilot of the Pr
rates, spoke guardedly of the
chances of their men before the
first game of the world series. The
usual confident statements were
missing.
Here is the way the opposing
managers sized it up:
Huggins-"We are not underrat-
ing the strength of the Pittsburgh
team. They have great club and
we're going to have a real battle.
1.-THE Yankees are in fine shape
and the spirit of the club was
shown by the fact they kept
hustling up to the end of the sea-
son even after the pennant was
won"
Bush-"The Pirates are fit. The
club came through those hectic last
few weeks of the regular season
gamely and in good condition.
They say we never have met a
club with the hitting strength of
the Yankees. Well, it's just possible
they haven't met club with the
pjtching strength of ours"

With Muncie Normal and VAL
paraiso, the two prelim games of
the schedule disposed of, Coach
(PotSy) Clark has turned his atten-
ton to Buffers annual clash with
Illinois at Urbana, Saturday.
The Bulldogs showed signs of
strength in the first two contests OF
the 1927 season although Clark was
not satisfied with their showing. Eff
forts to perfect the offensive and
also strengthen the defensive play
are being made this week.
A battle royal is expected for regu-
lar varsity berths as many aspiring
candidates are eager to get the first
call for the Illinois game. Nc
Clafflin is making strong bid for
a backfield position and probably
will be Clark's choice to start at one
of the half back jobs. Cottrell,
a senior, may be seen at one of the
guard positions.

Bush Sticks
to 'Guns'in
Cuyler Case
Pirate Boss Sacrifices Star
for Sake of Discipline
and Principle.
By United Press

DU CNWCu IfCSS
PITTSBURGH, oct. 5.-Both
Manager Bush and Manager Hug
gins are prepared to let their plans
for the second world series game
rest upon the outcome of the opener.
Both teams today we're to fire every
thing they had to win that most inn
portant first game, and, strangely
enough, while the Yankees ruled 10
to favorites for the series, the bet
ting on the opening game was at
even money.
With grim determination, Ownie
Bush is continuing to stand pat in
the strange case of 'Kiki" Cuyler.
Hero in 1925 Series
1t will be recalled that Cuyler,
besides being the most valuable
player in the National League two
years ago, delivered the telling blow
in the sensational world series of
1925. "Kiki" still is recognized by
at least seven managers as one Of
the best outflelders in the league.
This season, however, with the
rise of the brilliant brothers Waner,
a shift in the Pittsburgh batting
order put Cuyler up second, and
'Kiki" suddenly decided he couldn't
hit we'll in that position.
when are you going to shift me
out of this second hole?" Cuyler
asked Bush.
You'll bat second or you won't
bat" replied Ownie, sticking out his
jaw.
PIastered With Fine
One word led to another, and
"Kiki' was benched. When he re-
turned to the game somewhat later
in the season, he was fined $50 by
his manager for failing to slide
during a close play. Shortly after
this incident, Cuyler returned to the
bench-and stayed there.
Even in the heat Of finish fight
for the flag, Bush kept "Kiki" on the
bench, and when necessary, played
youngster named Comorosky, who is
not even eligible for the world series
this year, in the outfield.
Here is the odd case of a manager,
in his first year with a strange ball
club, having won the pennant in a
league to which he was a newcomer
less than six months ago, risking the
success of his team in the champion
ship series for the sake Of a prin-
ciple. The principle is that Ownie
Bush is boss of the Pittsburgh ball
club.

BY WAITE HoYT,

Star Pitcher OF the Yankees
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5.-There are
many things I would like to impart
as the world series opens, but, due
to the lack of space, 1 will conflne
myself to a few brief predictions.
The Yankees do not fear the Wa
ner boys. They will get their share
of hits, but the men we much stop
are the boys who will drive them
in. Therefore we will concentrate
on Wright, Traynor and Harris.
Earl Combs will produce as many,
if not more, hits than any batter
in the series.
If we are favored with warm
weather, Wilcey Moore will pitch
the best game.
George Pipgras is not talked Of,
but right now is pitching better ball
than any pitcher mentioned by ex-
perts.
The series will so six games with
the Yankees as winners.
Pennock, despite the Pirates rec
ord against left handlers, will beat
them, if he starts and I think he
will despite his injury of Tuesday.

me to be superior to those of the

stronger. World series ball games
are won by batteries more times
than by any other feature of a

view of the very evident superiority
of the National Leaguers in these
two departments there seems to me
to be only one choice-the Pitts
