BASEBALL FEUD DAY'S FEATURE Cubs And Pirates Stage Near Free-For-All In Monday's Game Chicago. April 30.—(U.R) —An old-, time baseball feud smouldered at Wrigley field today as the Chicago’ Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates pre-' pared for the second game of the. season between the two clubs.' The Cubs, embroiled in two fist, fights in four days, hoped to face Guy Bush, one of their teammates until he was traded to the Pirates last November, but were doomed to disappointment. Manager Pie Traynor of Pittsburgh announced last night Ralph | ■ Birkhofer would pitch instead of, his original choice. Bush. "I can’t afford to send Bush in' against the Cubs.” said Traynor.' “It might cause serious trouble.! | Bush has a temper and there’s bad! feeling between the two clubs." ' Bush, apparently nursing a grudge against the club which no longer wanted his services, was in-; volved in the niogt serious of yes-1 terday's battles which came near! I developing into a free-for-all be- | tween all the players. The fighting started between. Cookie Lavagetto, Pirates’ second; baseman, and Billy Jurges. Cubs’l shortstop, on a close play at sec-; ond. Lavagetto doubled to right and collided with Jurges in pulling, up at second. Jurges stepped on I the Pittsburgh player's foot and! Lavagetto. who eight days ago was spiked by Joe Medwick. Cardinals’ outfielder, hit the Chicago player in the back. Jurges swung both fists at Mvagetto. as he ducked under Umpire Magerkruth. They finally were parted, but by that time players of both clubs were on the field. I Bush came out looking for a fight. The first Chicago player he , encountered was Roy Joiner, south- ! paw pitcher. They tangled and fought all the way from second a base to the foul line near the Cubs’ dugout. Four players finally pinj i ned Bush to the ground, and Honus t Wagner, Pirates’ coacn. carried I' him to the dugout. Joiner claimed Bush hit him from the back first, and after they were parted hit him in the mouth when he was being held by two Pitts-

"He hit me with my back iturned once and another time when (two players were holding me. I'll ' get him." ; After the fighting was halted 'manager Charlie Grimm of the | Cubs went in front of the PittsI burgh dugout and challenged Bush ;to a fight under the stands. Bush !refused. I Players said Bush in the excitement was trying to hit Grimm. This ! was partially verified by the fact ■ (hat Bush later tvaid he was sorry . he hit Joiner. "I didn’t mean to hit Joiner," said Bush. “1 wasn’t slugging at him." Bush wouldn’t say who he was trying to hit, but players said they heard Bush hurl several epithets ;at Orimm. "I’ll fight Bush any place except I on the ball field if he’s looking for ■ trouble." said Grimm. “I told him Iso, and that goes any time he wants i to accept the challenge." The Cubs were only two days out I of an embroglio at Cincinnati prior to yesterday's flareup. Tex Carleton, Cubs' pitcher, and manager | Charley Dressen and coach George !

Lennon, state era supervisor for! the 1935 federal agrienltural cen ' sus, announced today. "Most of the counties reported; an Increased number of farms, I Lennon said.
