HIGGINS FIGHTING
AL0S|NG BATTLE
Manager of Yankees Fails to
Rally After Three Blood
.TranSfuSionS.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n Y EW YORK, September 25.-Mil-
M Ter Higgins, doughty little
" manager Of the New York
4 Yankees, apparently was fight
ing losing battle for life today.
Stricken last week with an infection
growing out of an attack Of influenza
and erysipelaS, the Yankee pilot was
losing ground steadily. He had failed
to rally after three blood transfusions
and gradually was growing weaker.
Each new bulletin, issued by DR.. Ed
ward H. King, indicated that Higgins
condition was growing worse. His
brother and sister, Myrtle and Arthur
Higgins, kept an all-night vigil at st.
Vincent's Hospital, where Higgins has
been a patient since last Friday.
An ominous change for the worse oc-
Cured late yesterday afternoon, when
DR.. King announced the infection had
spread from the left side to the right.
Soon after the patients temperature,
already alarmingly high, rose to 104.5
degrees. At that time DR.. King said
that medical science had done every
thing possible for Higgins and that the
outcome nov is up to the patient HIM
self"
At 1920 pm. DR.. King announced
that Higgins temperature had risen to
1048, that he was very restless and ap-
weaker. Later announcements
from the hospital served only to empha-
size the gravity Of the base ball vet
Grams condition.

Wv YITH the attention Of fans and
players alike conferred upon
wv Miller Higgins fight for his
life In q New York hospital,
q solemn tone was evident
along the big league trail yesterday as
the afternoons program was unreeled.
Melvin OFT of the Giants and the
veteran Tom Zachary Of the Yankees
shared such spotlight as there was, OFT
with his forty-first and forty-second
home runs and Zachary with his twelfth
victory In a season which has brought
him no defeats.
OFT slashed q ball into the right field
seats in each Of two games at the Polo
Grounds, and his drives were instru-
mental In bringing the Giants home In
front In both encounters by to 4 and
6 to 5. The two blows enabled the
young New York outfielder to tie the
National League record made by Rogers
Hornsby In 1922 when the Rajah won
the major league crown with AZ home
runs. That was the year Ruth was
suspended for the first five weeks OF the
season because of an unauthorized
transforming trip the previous Fall.
Carl Hubbell just shaded the veteran
Harry Seibold in the opener. but Nc
Graw was forced to employ both Carl
Mays and Joe Genewich to earn the
second decision. The Giants made five
errors in the nightcap. Ben Cantwell
toiled for Boston.
The Phillies rallied sharply against
Johnny Morrison in the eighth to pull
out a decision over Brooklyn by to

Jack is one Of the last base ball

No other questions seemed likely to

was abandoned as a promising subject
for an interview.
His last world series appearance was

BIG SERIES RIVALS
ARE FULL OF FIGHT.
Spirit of Aggressiveness to
Fire Clashes Between
Cubs and MackS.
BY GEORGE MORIARTY,
Big League Umpire.

SPIRIT Of aggressiveness Is ex-
~ pected' to fire this world series,
II and that's a good thing for the
1 A cash customers. 1t Is always q
sad spectacle when one team
is unbalanced in lighting spirit.
To understand what-a team may &C
conlplish when It has unlimited conf
dence In itself it Is only necessary to
recall the last two tussles In which the
Yankees dominated and completely
swept the Pittsburgh Pirates and St.
Louis Cardinals from their feet.
The true fighting qualities Of those
defeated teams never reached the sur
face, simply because they feared Babe
Ruth and company and were on the
defensive from the first ball pitched.
Pittsburgh was plainly groggy IN the
shadow Of the Yankees greatness. In
batting practice before the first game
18 pitches over the wall. The Pirates
viewed that from their bench and were
dwarfed before the series began.
Ruth Beat the Cards.
Last October the Cardinals mapped
out a defensive program as the best
offensive measure, with Babe Ruth as
the central figure to stop, but 1t was
fruitless Obviously the Yankees pat

Ruth. Whatever he did was inspiration
enough for his mates to follow.
But the Athletics and the Cubs are
rather evenly matched In aggressive
ness. The fighting spirit Of the Cubs

with Hack Wilson as the colortul ana
peppery number man In the back
ground. I say this with all difference to
Joe Mccarthy, q manager with ngnt-
ing heart. Connie Mack, too, Is q great
fighter in his quiet and diplomatic way.
But the team-head Is detached as ne
sits on the bench, or stands on the
lines, while the contest Is in actual mo-
ton. It is the smart or timely deed
executed on the field that furnishes
the inspirational force, and II star
does something spectacular In pinch
the lesser lights usually follow suit.
Natural Born Fighters.
The Athletics look to AL Simmons and
Mickey Cochrane for their cues to DO
mighty things. These players are nat
ural-born fighters and continually sup
ply the sparks for the Mack1an crew.
On the ball field it is not so much, the
spoken word as it Is the deed.
The Athletics went wholesale through
the American League teams this sum-
mer, with Simmons and Cochrane as
the pen and punch parties Of the crew.
They probably displayed their best
wares in that memorable dve-game
series with the Yankees two months ago.

looks as though the october

the history Of base ball. If the
conflict between the Athletics and the
very close to q million-dollar series, and
1t is sure to be one If it goes into the

The biggest sum ever paid at a world
series gate was 81, 207, 1854, the total re-
ceipts of the series Of 1925. between
the New York Yankees and the ST.
Louis Cardinals.
A lot Of inexact statements have been
made relative to decreased interest in
base ball. They don't At in with the
picture today of Philadelphia and Chi
cago fans scrambling wildly for tickets
to the coming battle.
Depends Upon Race.
OF course, there always will be local
fluctuations in base ball interest.
Championship teams beget great 'ex-

other localities there is less tension.

That has been true of base ball from
the time that crowd OF 5000 was
considered huge and possibly never to
be surpassed except in very large city.
The first man who ever predicted a
crowd of $4,000 at base ball game
was Albert G. Spalding. When he said
that a crowd might be even larger
than $4,000, his cotemporaries laughed
at him.
If enough seats could be provided In
wrigley Park, more than million doll
lars would be subscribed In Chicago
alone for this serios Of 1929. Were the
seats actually built in stadium, an
estimate of $4,000, 900 from Chicago and
its environs as this years subscription
total would be conservative.
The Athletics sold their reserved seats

such result would happen. The first

Bush Is Being Mentioned
As Next MANAGER of Reds

DOME Bush, who gave up his job
as manager Of the Pittsburgh Pirates
in the closing days Of the National
League pennant race, has been con-
suited about going to Cincinnati to
replace Jack Hendricks, retiring
pilot of the Reds.
Whoever gets the Cincinnati as
signment must be q builder. The
Reds can't get where they would
like to be In the National League
as they are now, but they have ma
terial that can serve them in a
building-up process.
Hendricks Is a victim Of his own
optimism. With a pitching staff that
was declining In strength, he based
his future on the attainments of
his players as defensive experts. He
seemed to have overlooked the long
years Of service that had been put
in by the pitchers. They had begun
to show wear in 1928 and they
showed It q lot more this year.
When the defense Of the Cincin-
natl team broke down this season
the sand had run out Of the glass.
Hendricks was not q good enough
strategist to match McGraw and
Mccarthy In directing q game, and
when the Cincinnati pitchers were
batted hard the Reds had little or
nothing with which I'd go forward.
