The Pirates fought their through one of the hottest cam- paigns in National ue ory last year and emerged victorious by a parrow margin. Then they suf- fered a humiliating defeat in the world series at the hands of the New York Yankees, American league champions, howing in four straight games. They won the pennant and lost the world series with Kiki Cuyler | “riding the wood most of the time.” During the winter Kikl was traded for Sparky Adams so that a gaping infield hole at second base could be plugged up. This accomplished, Donie Bush mite manager of the champions, sat | back in an easy chair and faced with | confidence the 1928 campalgn. Look- ing over the field the experts decided to make Pittsburgh an overwhelm- ing favorite to repeat. Now the experts 100k bad but the Plrates look worse, after dropping their fifth straight game yesterday to the New York Giants, 11 to 8, the Pirates were imbedded more firmly in sixth place. The champions have had their | share of injuries but the chief diffi- | culty has been with the pitching staff. Traynor, Grantham, Wright and Adams all have been out of the | game at one time or another but | that did not hurt half as much as the failure of the moundsmen.
