The pitching situation II consider
ably befogged this morning. An.
other day Of rain might relieve botli
managers Of the necessity Of call
ing on box men who could use an
other day of rest before starting the
sixth game.
The experts anticipate that
xremer will be MCKechnie's first
choice and Morrison and Yde the
reservists. The Washington HOmina-
ton will likely fall to Ferguson
or Dutch Ruether.
Krenler and Ferguson opposed
each other In the Saturday game
in Washington, the former going
eight innings and the latter only
seven. Under the circumstances,
both should be fairly well equip
ped to start again today.
The pitching would be easier to
dope out IL Meadows and Johnson
were not crippled. Meadows last
night expressed the opinion that he
was done for the series. His lame
elbow has not responded as quickly
to treatment as he hoped it would
d 4
While the opinion prevails that
Washington will eventually win,
q victory for the Pirates today
win be most distressing for the
American League; champions.
That Is why the Harrismen are
going to put everything they have
Into today's punch b Obviate the
necessity Of seventh game.
Johnson's condition may be the
deciding factor IL It narrows down
to one decisive game. His injury
in the Sunday game was a torn
thigh muscle. II atiffended him up
after the game and he lirnped
through light practice yesterday. He
may work the soreness out today
and he may not.
Even the threat Of q lame John.
son is enough to make the Pirates
worry. II they stagger through
and win today, they Will be on
the short end tomorrow with any
pitcher McKechnie may select.

LEAD
AS SERIES
HEROES

In the twenty-one series played
since 1908 the outstanding star has
eight times been q pitcher. four
times a third baseman, four times
an outfielder, three times q second
baseman, once first baseman and
once q catcher.
1t looks as II the shortstops had
been neglected.
A series Is won not by the team
which has the best pitching staff
but by the team which gets the best
pitching. A pitchers record for
the season doesn't count. The &C.
RES Is new deal.
It's one thing to win twenty
games out Of thirty. and quite an.
other to win two out OF two. In
a series pitcher can't pick up the
burden little by little. He has to
lift It all at once.

and conceded us the series be-
fore it ever started.
The nearest duplicate Of Wal
ter Perry Johnson was buried
at Lewisburg. Pa, last Satur-
day afternoon. Two barrels like
those were never put on the

Pittsburgh got thirteen hits

that.
Coveleskie got away to q bad
start, but it was nothing COM
pared to his ending, at which

his fall.
Joe Harris hunted the ball
into the ten-cent seats for the
third time. It was a very de-
liberate putt, which rolled dead
to the pin and made the match
all even at the fourth hole.
Bluege hoped ont of a roll
ing chair into q uniform and
the second time at the bat
showed distinct signs of con-
valescence by doubling. to Pet
worth.
He was facing the pitcher
who beaned him in Pittsburgh
and struck out twice in an
effort to return the compliment.
Washington is great for its
Southern hospitality and BluegO

Of town feeling he'd missed
anything.
Bucky Harris shook up his
batting order until it was foam
ing at the top. It's eight hits
were as widely separated as the
two ends Of long bridge.
In the third they punched
three, like a pawn shop emblem,
but it was too late. The game
seemed to be already in hook,
but they'll geI it out today.
