NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-For p

Cardinals for five seasons, Higgins

LEAVES GAP IN GOTHAM
Failure of Team HastenS
Death of Higgins.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY,
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-There
was a yawning gap in the ranks of
the New York Yankees today. Little
Miller Higgins, driving force behind
six American League pennant WIN
/ ners and three world championship
teams in the last twelve years, lay
| dead.
He died at 3:16 p. m. Wednesday
after battling courageously for six
| days against an insidiouS infection
which started from a boil on his
cheek. He was so. He had been
weakened by influenza and was a
physical wreck when he was carried
to st. Vincent'S hospital last Friday.
Repeated blood transfusions failed
to do more than prolong his waning
life.
In an official statement by DR..
Edward H. King, Yankee physician,
the cause Of his death was described
as "pyaemia, the process of pus
forming organism in the blood, and
with infection of the face and oe-
dema, the filling Of the lungs with
water, as contributory causes"
Many, including DR.. King, believed
''the midget manager" sacrificed his
life in a futile effort to win another
pennant with the Yankees-to win
four flags in succession and eStab-
lish an American League record.
HE had been a sick man for
weeks" Dr. King said, "but would
not leave the team until he was
positive that it had no possible
chance of winning the fourth
straight pennant.
His lowered vitality resulted in
the rapid spread of the infection
which we were unable to curb He
should have used his energy to save
himself instead of worrying about
his bal club"
Even with death lingering at his
door, Higgins refused to give ur
the battle for his life. He hung on
grimly to the very last breath. Once
when he regained consciousness he
muttered between thin. pale lips;
Tell the boys I'll be out of here in
a week"

year last Sunday. In the
spring he suffered an arm in
jury that many critics feared
would be a Knockout to the Cubs
pennant chances. Arm failed
to respond to treatment, despite
the fact that any number of
famous specialists were consulted.
Got his name "Gabby" be-
cause of his constant chatter
back of the bat. In 1927 he
caught 127 games for the Cubs
and the following year worked
in 100. There was no chance
tor any other catcher to break in
with Harnett in shape to go.
.. That is why it was feared his
arm injury would prove a hard
blow to Chicago's pennant
chances. A good batter, noted
for his long distance drives, it
was felt the Cubs would miss his
many hits for the circuit.

serving his twelfth year under
Mack. -. When he was an out
standing catcher in the Ameri-
can League, the Athletics with a
weak team we're annually finish
ing in last place. Is one Of
the few catchers in baseball to
have worked more than 1000
major league games. For six
consecutive years caught In 100
or more games. Had four
mighty strenuous years from 1920
to 1923. In each one Of those
years worked 140 or more games,
his high water mark being 148.
.. Always had great arm and
it is still as good as ever. Has
been a great help to Mack in
keeping his pitching staff on
edge. . Not a great hitter, his
average over twelve years is a
trif1e better than 260.
