contending clubs, Ray Kramer for the
4 Pirates, and Waite Hoyt for the Yan- !
kees. Donie Bush, scrappy little
Pirats chief, committed himself defin
itely to Kramer w'ith Vic Aldridge
slated for the second game. Huggins j
declined to commit himself beyond
saying the first game will probably j
see either Hoyt or Wiley Moore on the
mound.
