EOSEPH MCCARTHY, nsw man
aoer Of the Yanks, denied the
story but it is true just the same.
n concerns the trade which ne as
manager Of the Cubs engineered 10
get XXI Cuyler from the Pirates III
exchange for Sparky Adams a
couple of years ago.
As the trade ultimately worked out
Mccarthy gave up a scuttie OF ashes io'

the Cubs a championship team "hiie
Adams failed to help the Pirates IN any
material manner and was presently
shipped to another club.

Bnt to get to the story The Pirates

kEaDynened to drop in. too. Some one re-
marked that it was tough to lose game
like that.
Mccarthy admitted truer words had
never been uttered. IF 1 only had
dozen guys like Adams I'D win the pen

Drevfuss had seen the game. He also

before the world series started
ID Mickey Cochrane, who is said
to be a fair sort of catcher, was
talking about the pltchlng prospectus
of the Athletics. Wen be pretty
strong in the box. The only one OF
our fellows I ain worried about is
Earnshaw. He seems to have lost
his smoke
Yeah. like Mussolin has lost his voice.
AIi Earnshaw did was pitch the AS into
the championship single-handied. He gave
ono of the greatest pitching exhibitions
ever seen in any world series. He had so
much smoke the Cards we're swinging after
the ball passed the plate.
Just the same. Cochrane was delighted;
Earnshaw is his room mate and pal ana
it is a fact that for month or SO before
the series started Earushaw had little on
The ball. Maybe he's Just world series
pitcher.
