Nehf may not see much | action but Cuyler and Hornsby are two of the big guns aimed at the Athletics, two veterans whose ex- perience looms as a vital factor. The dark-haired, square shoul- dered Cuyler has had a great year, his greatest since the campaign of 1925 that cnded with him a world’s series hero. gan in the series of 1927, after a row with the Dreyfuss forces, his play suffering that year as well as the next, his first with the Cubs, but he has put on a fine come-| -back | for 1920. The fleet outfielder hit over .350 most of this season, close to his best mark of .357, and stole around 40 bases to demonstrate that he had lost none of his speed. His| best figure in thefts was 41 in 1925. Harry Heilmann’s unique streak | of odd-year leadership in American league batting ranks has finally been broken. The great Detroit outfielder and insurance broker began his freak achievement in 1921, repeating as batting king in 1923, 1925 and 1927, as he notched averages of .393, 408, .393, and .398. Starting a late-season rally this year, Heilmann made a fight for s odd-year crown, pulling up to around .350 but this was not enough to catch such sluggers as Al Sim- mons, Jimmy Foxx, Heinie Manush and Lew Fonseca. BN O RAJAH POOR SHOWMAN; STILL LEARNING AT 33 CHICAGO, Oct. 5—The Great Hornsby is one of the poorest show- | men on the Chicago team. He makes NO UNNECessary ges- tures on the playing field and never bids for attention. That doesn’t mean that he goes; unnoticed, for it would be pretty | hard to have a slugger like Hornsby around without having him domi- | nate the spotlight. Although the Rajah is one of| the game's greatest players he still js learning. Few believe that Joe McCarthy, the Cub manager, who never played major league baseball, could teach Hornsby anything about the game. But the Cub's manager, who him- | self was Somewhat of a seconrl baseman down in the American as- sociation, taught Rogers how to cover more ground te his left and overcome one of his few weak- SHAAN BN s At any rate, whn(evrr; moral or muscular aid these three, The one-time Michi- | recruit was a bench-warmer|g,.. clouqy days and there may | s - | HELLO EMMET: A WAITIN' FER DINTY- HELL 8 HERE \N A MINUTE: HE HAD TO TALK TO HIS WIFE " ISTRIKEOUT KINGS ALL SET " FOR WORLD SE RIES SMOKE BALL CLASK By JAY VESSELS Sports Editor (A.
