 The majority of the Pirates thought Marion was the classiei of the two-but the arguments fol Miller were long and loud, parti- cularly because of the .983 fielding record the Cincinnati star hung ur last year when he made only l; errors in handling 748 chances Marion trailed Miller last year and also is slightly behind this season in fielding.
 Marion is very good" piped Ho- nus Wagner the owner of the most conspicuous pair of bow legs on the bench. But I pick Miller because he has been around longer and has more experience. He play; the batters better"

 Backing up Frisch in his opinion of Marion were such Bucks as Vince DiMaggio, Frankie Gustine and Efbie Fletcher-and if some one hadn't yelled play ball, the Miller vs. Marion argument might still be roaring in the Pirate dug |out.
