L Ry PORT SLANTS' There is one big league ball game 1 would like to see above all oth- ers this spring—that will take place when Guy Bush steps on the pitcher’s mound in a Pirate uniform to face his former mates, the Chicago Cubs, for the first time. Always one of the most diligent mound toilers in the game, he puts his heart and soul into ev- ery ball he throws. It is reason- able to expect that he will bear down with extra pressure when he goes to work on the Cub bat- ters. Bush was broken-hearted when the Cubs traded him to Pittsburgh last November, along with Babe Herman and Jim Weaver, in ex- change for Freddie Lindstrom and | Larry French. What hurt him most was that, after close to 10 years of service in a Chicago uniform, he had to learn of the deal through the news- papers. He was bitter in con- demning baseball as a cold-blood- ed proposition. HIS BROKEN HEART HEALS Stunned and shaken, he tried to G s with !

But that was last November. To- da, it is quite evident that Guy Buh is anything but a broken- hearted spiritless athlete. His one dominating thought is to get to the Pirates’ training camp at San Bernardino, Cal, as soon as pos- ible and work himself into condi- tion for the coming campaign. “I want to tell the world that I am a better piicher today than I ever was, and that ITl be as good as I am for two or three vears yet,” he declared. “I'm only I've averaged about 17 victor- a season Over a seven year CAN'T SEE CUB CHANCES “See this arm,” holding up his DAILY SPORTS CARTOON~ \~NOW WATCH #IS_SMOKE. ¢ ight, “it's > Pirates th 18 in quite a sp 1’ to go, with my arm tion that ever.” I he wouldn’t have mind ed being traded half as much if could see how the Cubs were go- ing to benefit by parting with him. But he cannof. Nor can he much hope for the Cubs in coming pennant rac Quite naturally, he picks the Pi- rates to be in the thick of the National League fight. He looks for a three-cornered “dog fight” be- tween the Pirates, Cardinals and Giants. For one won't have Bush say see the thing he is glad he to pitch to Paul Wa- ner any more. That break alone he sees adding three or more victories to his string for the year. | The Chicago uniform must have | some secret charm.

Significant question, that. In 1933 the Giants were supposed to finish sixth, but ran away with the Na- tional League pennant and then made an awful sap out of the Washington Senators in the world series. “I mean better than 1933 re-| deated the gentleman firmly. “We have everything we had then plus he best shortstop in the league, Sartell. Had Best Team” “And,” he added, in case there was any misunderstanding, ‘“‘“We had the best team in the league wnd in baseball last year. The Car- dinals didn't win the National League pennant and the world se- ries. We lost both. Why, we thought we couldn't lose with that seven-| game lead in September, And the next thing we knew we had.” Who is the best improved club in the league? Don't be silly. The New York Giants. Everybody else, says Terry, has lost something. | ‘The Cardinals? They've given up Tex Carleton and a pitcher who! won sixteen games. They haven't| improved otherwise and the Deans can't possibly repeat what they did last year. | The Pirates? A little better, but, not enough. “Contrary to what I said at the time the deal was made,” quoth William, “I now think the Pirates did better than the Cubs in the | Tush- Weaver-Babe Herman for Tindstrom-French trade. Bush is | liable to win more games for the | Pirates than the other pair win for Chicago.” Yes, Ruth Will Help | What about the Cubs, then? Worse than 1934. What about the | Braves? Most of them have been | much anyhow. But Ruthll help | them a lot. The Dodgers? Always | dangerous, but dependable in one important factor. They can gehsl erally beat themselves. The Phil-; lies? Worse. Hadn't they lost Bar-; tell and Davis and, failing to put over the Lloyd Waner deal, left! themselves without a shortstop an center fielder? The Reds? Well, the Reds were always the Reds, weren't they? The Reds indubitably wers and are. H As for the Giants, those stories about socking one another in the dressing room after the final 1934 game are all wrong, including mine —especially .mine. Mr. Terry Xfry pained about that.
