The Deliou wedding procession, led
by an ACCORDION, rode in wagons and

PENNANT QUEST
OF PITTSBURGH
OFTEN STORMY
Hard Luck Has Dogged This
Years Pennant Winners in
Past Attempts
LOOKED GOOD LAST YEAR
Mutiny in Ranks Brought
Them in Third-Much Credit
Given Bush This Year
BY ALAN j. GOULD
Associated Press Sports Editor

AooOSAotSu 1888 OpO1 10 1uAtVA
Pittsburgh, Oct. SLAP
The Pittsburgh Pirates, Ma
tional League pennant winners
for the sixth time in 26 years,
probably have had more ups
and downs than any club in the
modern history Of the game.
The last seven years particu.
larly, during which the club
has twice fought it's way to the
top, have been filled with the
vicissitudes Of the buccaneers.
Their careers have peen as
stormy as those Of their name
sakes.
Throughout this seven-year
period Pittsburgh always has
been a pennant contender, but
usually the high hopes Of
spring have faded or been
blasted. During the four-year win
ming streak Of the Giants, 1921 to
1924, the New Workers appeared to
have the "Indian Sign" on the Pr
rates. In 1921, the Pirates, leading
most of the season, "blew" a seven
game lead in September, starting
with five straight defeats at the
hands of the Giants.
Looked Good in 1925
When the Corsairs finally gained
the top in 1925 and conquered
Washington in the world series, they
looked like the best club in baseball.
They had youth, speed and the
punch. They were a brilliant collec-
ton Of stars. But last season, mu-
tiny broke out in the ranks. Carey,
Bigbee and old Babe Adams were
let out after a run-in with Manager
Bill McKechnie. The team finished
third, beaten out by the Reds as
well as the Cardinals.
This year DOME Bush jumped
from indianapolis of the American
Association to take over the helm
but the old Tiger shortstop found
we'll over 800. Joe Harris was
rated second because of his timely
batting.
Rogers Hornsby's margin over
frankie Frisch at second base was
rather close. 1t was argued that
Hornsoy's superior ability at max
ing double plays was enough of an
edge to give him first choice.
