Pirates Have Chance
to Win By Hard
Work
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.--After
losing a whole desperate series in
Pittsburgh against the dangerous
Pirates and giving New York a
rabid case of the jumps, the Giants
are back leading the hectic National
League pennant race in romp.
Going after their fourth straight
pennant, the National League cham
pions have recovered 5 l2 games
of the nine game lead that had
them on the way to easy street be-
fore they left Manhattan to tour the
wilds of the west.
John McGraw, the top sergeant
of the company, cracked the whip
in Pittsburgh after they had lost
four games to the speeding Pirates.
He tied the can to Ansmith and
Cadore for refusing to go to bed
at the appointed hour and he told
the others that they were on the
way to a railroad ticket if they
! didn' t behave.
Pirates May Win
Several days ago the opinion was
expressed that the chances of the
Pirates to win the pennant depend
ed entirely upon the Pirates and
it is being borne out.
The Pittsburgh club couldn It
stand prosperity After rising to
the extreme heights when they
swept the series with the Giants
and cut down the lead of the
champions to three, the club crack
ed.
= The Pirates had good reasons for
losing two games against the Brook
lyn Robins. Dazzy Vance. and Bur
leigh Grimes are two of the best
reasons in the league for losing
games but the Pirates went grogy
in the series with the Braves and
split double header yesterday.
AS a result of the winning streak
which has run to six straight games,
the Robins are in u good third
place and they are going strong
In the American League the
Washington Senators are back in
the running and the Detroit Tigers,
like the Pirates in the National
League, have been forced on the
defensive.
