Series Finances By the Assaciated Press. PITTSRURGH, October 6 figur Paid attendance, 41, Total receipts, $182, Official Each league, SPOTTY PLAY REASON HE BY ALAN J. GOULI Associated Press Sports Editor. PITTSBURGH, October 6 ( Hazen (Kiki) Cuyler, fleet outfielder of the Pirates and a hero of the 1925 world series, is not taking part so far in the championship battle with the Yankees, because, in the opinion of Ppittsburgh executives, his present playing form is below that of any of the outfield regulars—and some of the other substitutes——not because of any personal prejudice or for any mys- terious reason. This statement, dealing with an is- sue which is being almost as hotly de- bated as the outcome of the series it- self, was given to the Associated Press today by Sam Dreyfuss, treasurer of the Pittsburgh club, in response to a request to clarify a situation that has provoked a flock of fast-flying rumors. The question “Why doesn't Pitts- burgh use Cuyler?” is on nearly every tongue where base ball men gather. It was in the minds of hundreds of fans yesterday as they shouted “We want ~ Cuyler!” the ninth inning, when Freddie Brickell, instead, was sent in as a pinch hitter for Pitcher John Miljus. Cuyler and Bush at Issue. One of the most persistent of Cuyler reports has heen that differences be- tween the outfielder and the Drey fusses—Sam and his father, Barney, club president—kept Kiki out of the game, not a dispute with Donie Bush, the manager. t Sam Dreyfuss quickly settled this. “It is solely an issue between Cuyler and Bush,” he said. “Bush is manager of the club, What he does in handling the team is mot dictated by my father or myself. 1f Bush wants to play Cuyler at any time, he is free to do 0. There is absolutely no dark, deep or mysterious reason for keeping Cuy- ler on the hench. “The club's. executives, however, share Bush's present conviction that there is no reason for inserting Cuyler in the regular lineup for the simple fact that Barnhart is playing better ball. 1 think Barnhart proved himself one of the stars of the opening game. Backs Brickell's Use. So far as using Brickell as a pinch- hitter i ead of Cuyler is concerned, {I think that also wa advisable. Brickell, left-handed batter and fast, was the proper man to send against Moore, a right-hand pitcher, Cuyler is a right-handed batsman.” Bush refused to discuss Cuyler’s case other than to he will use him when the need arises. The dif- ferences hetween the manager and ontficlder have heen fairly well aired. There was, for instance, Cuyler's dis- pute with Bush over batting second, | where, Kiki felt, he was handicapped istomed to hitting " Bush charac md | | emperamen and put Cuyler in se pull him out in a few o find his bat only te days after Kiki fs ting _eye. 1 Cuyler w henched nd fined $30 for fail- ing to slide to second base | Observers, however, especially in Pittshurgh, apparently have been con- vinced that the as more to any L Cuyler-Bush foud appeared on the surf; Gossip has had it that they nearly came to blows at one time. Both deny this. Cuyler, too, is about his situation, but he le it clear to friends that he re has gone heyond sle bounds. On his record and > of his good playing condition Cuyler believes he should have at least a chance to get into the game pinch hitter or runner oce ally if not as a regular. He had expected to get what he de- | scribed as “his monthly workout” in the final game of the cinnati, with_all_the regu i Remodel by Experts To Match Your Odd Coats {in four rounds, OF CUYLER IS ON BENCH Lloyd Waner hack in Pittsburgh, but Bush did not use him. Apparently most of Pirate. fandom is “worked up” over this Cuvler epi- sode. It a poll of the average fan in the hotel lobbies is an indication, most of them feel Cuyler has been discriminated against. Others feel that his so-called temperament has robbed him of his team value. Tt is altogether one of the strangest situations base ball has known in some time. If ear is given to some who claim to be on the “inside,” the “lid will be blown off” the case after the world series. Whatever the outcome, this Is likely | to be Cuyler's last year in a Pirate | uniform. “That,” ~Sam Dreyfuss pointed out, “is not for discussion now,” but experts expect Kiki to be put on the market.

Curves Not Annoying. Kremer could not have been fn doubt_after the first frame that the American League champions had no fear of his curves. Each of the five men who went to plate in the opening inning, not excepting Mark Koenig, who fanned, made the Pirate star realize his curves were not particu- larly annoying.

He faltered fearfully, once his support failed him, and floundered helplessly when the Yankees refused to be baited by his wide curve. Two passes re- | sulted in forcing over a run and the other paving the way to a tally when his battery mate, Earl Smith, proved as vulnerable as a_paper screen before |a machine gun as he attempted to take a throw to check some hase running by the American Leaguers.

But he was quite spotty in his hurling |in the fifth when the Yanks lost no | time in reaching him for a marker to | raise their total for the fray to five, and it must be said that Manager Donie Bush made a wise move when he derricked his star after Koenig had hit for a two-bagger at the outset of the sixth inning. Kremer's curve bhall held no terrors for the Yankees nd all of the vast throng in Forbes °ld had known it for some time, Miljus’ Work Better. With John Miljus, the World War | veteran who relieved Kremer, it was a_ different matter. His work resem- | bled that of the higher class pitchers of the American League that have frequently checked the Yankees dur- ing th cirenit championship campaign nd he proved a real puzzle. He was nuch more formidable than his pre- ccessor and probably because he did | not_depend upon his curve alone, al- though his curve ball was especially flective. But Miljus showed a mighty | sweet fast ball, one that any of the hurlers the Yanks had been accus- | tomed to face while winning their way to five American League f He mixed his delivery in great style 150 flashed a remarkable change that kept all but the incom- parable Ruth from a hit. The lone safety the Bambino gleaned off Miljus came with two out in the seventh session. It was a neat drive to center, but was wasted for Miljus' pitching motion so fooled Ruth that he was snared off first in an effort to steal and easily run down. Miljus looked | the real pitching goods, but Kremer | appeared to be anything else. | Nor did Waite Hoyt, who started | for the Yankees, do any pitching to brag about. He was nicked for eight | safeties and gave up a worthless pass, in addition to hitting a_batter, who llater scored the initial Pirate run, be- fore he faded from the picture with one out in the eighth.

And they managed to meet the ball in the pinches, even though outhit. nine safeties to by | the Pirates. 1f what was revealed in the first game may he accepted as a fair sample of what to expect of the rivals in the annual classic the Yan- kees ought mot to run into much trouble in this world series. True to form, the big “husters” o both clubs did their stuff. Bahe Rut champion home-run hitter, and Pa Waner, leading clouter of the tional League, each was credited wi three hits. There were no home among the Bambino's socks, all being of one variety. One of Waner's | slams was good for two bases, but one of his singles was decidedly scratchy.
