Giants to Haze Speedy Tricky Team Pittsburgh Pitching ST
Pilot Bush Making Plans in
Event Waner Brothers
Quit the Game.

BY the Associated Press.
~ ASO ROBES, Calf, March IL
The Waner brothers, Paul and
LLOYD, still are on the absent
list, but the Pittsburgh Pirates
are mastering for the National
League pennant drive behind pitching
staff that gives early-season promise OF
being second to none in the circuit.
In the hustle and hustle OF training
camp preparations here the fact that
the star outfielders continue firm in
their holdout roles has been sidetracked
for the more serious business of mold
ing available material into champion
ship calibre. Besides the general opin-
ion here is that the two Waners will
have settled their salary differences and
be in uniform by the time the season
starts.
Manager DOME Bush pins his hopes
on his hurlers and expects the rest OF
the squad to rise to the occasion. The
mound corps has been greatly strength
ened by the addition of Jess Petty, vet
eran left-hander acquired from Brook
lyn in the deal for Glenn Wright
shortstop. Ray Kremer and Burleigh
Crimes right-handers, are in top FORM
Three First String Boxmen.
The triumvirate of Petty. Kremer and
Grimes will bear the burden and should
do until another comes along. Two
other old-timers. Carmen Hill and Lee
Meadows, the latter back from the vol
untary retired list, are showing up we'll
and may get into the running.
The rookie pitching field Is unusually
fertile and from 1t Bush looks for at
least two youngsters to help the cause
along. Steve Swetonic, right handler.
and Larry French. a southpaw, have
the inside positions. Swetonic pitched
indianapolis onto the map last season,
and French did more than his bit for
Portland of the Coast League. Erwin
Brame, right handler. has job because
of his pinch-hitting ability. Fred Fus-
and Ralph Dawson. right handlers, all
holdovers. have not been counted out.
II the Waner boys pull the unexpected
and remain out of base ball, the Pirate
outfield will be guarded by George
Grantham. Fred Brickell and Adam
Comorosky, the latter two youngsters
but members of the squad in 1928. An
outfield without the Waners Is almost
a calamity, but Bush feels that the
alternates are not the worst in the
game by any means.
Added to the uncertainty OF the outer
garden Is an infield problem involving
| third base. Capt. Pie Traynor has been
shifted from third to short and at the
latter position Bush believes he will be

not always in accord. The cigar is usually looked
upon as strong form of smoking and yet it con-
