NEW YORK. September 9.-Connie
Mack's men took up their almost hope
less pennant fight with lighter spirits
today. Their 12-game losing streak
has been broken. They beat Wash

Washington still is eight games ahead

ed in Pittsburgh on October and
s. October 9 should then be taken
for travel between Pittsburgh and
Washington, although this has not
been definitely decided upon. That
would put game No. 3-the opener,
so far as the city of Washington is
concerned-in the Capital on Satur-
day, October 10. with the second
Washington game, or game No. 4, fall
ing on Sunday, and game No. 5, on
Monday, the 18th. Allowing Tuesday
for travel back to Pittsburgh, the
sixth and seventh games could be
played in Pittsburgh on Wednesday
and Thursday.
Several Special Trains Needed.
II has been suggested that as
Washington and Pittsburgh are sepa-
rated only by an overnight trip il
would be easy to schedule the games
without a break for travelling. There
would be lot of risk in such a trip,
however, because, instead of one
trainload of persons making the trip.
there will be many special trains and
if they were delayed the fat would
be in the fire. 1t would be a serious
matter to throw the whole world
series crowd from Pittsburgh into
fore game time.
Pittsburgh. which has been clamor-
ing for a world series for years, has
awakened to the fact that il isn't
going TO have accommodations easily

tions for food and lodging, as we'll as

doubling up all comers. There is no
such thing as single room. Bring
along party or stay away seems to
be the motto. Rates are top shelf,
and, even so. fans are finding ii i'm
possible TO get quarters.
Actual travellers, who must make
the trip between Pittsburgh and
Washington, number about 500. The
clubs will carry about $50 players,
officials and other attaches between
them. Sports writer's will number
about $50, and there are various
other groups which are set down as
'musts."
In addition. at least 1000 fans are
expected to go from Pittsburgh to
Washington, and when they go back

more from Washington. Pittsburgh

Until the AS cracked under the
strain of their grueling battle with
the Nationals in the middle of last
month the sorry showing of the Pitts
burgh team of 1921 was the most
noteworthy of modern base ball. That
year the Pirates invaded New York
with a lead of seven and one-half
games on August "a and proceeded
to drop five straight games to the
Giants, finally relinquishing the league
leadership on September IL and wind
ing up four games in the rear OF the
McGrawmen.
Giants FIopped i'm 1914.
Oddly enough, it was the Giants
who furnished the second most note
worthy example of disintegration in
1914 when, seemingly having the ban
ner clinched on July 4, they started
skidding with such velocity that the
Boston Braves, absolutely last in the
standing on Independence day. forged
steadily ahead to annex the title ana
make base ball history by cleaning up
with the far-famed Athletics of that
period &c four straight games In the
world series.
When the Athletics headed West
on their recent iaunt around the
outposts of the American League they
boasted an advantage over the Ma
tionals of two full games, having a
percentage. from u games won and
81 lost. of .661, as against the .64o
rating held by the Griffmen. On the

the reverses suffered on their return
East, in this city, New York and at
the hands of the champions in Phila-
delphia, they had dropped an even
dozen contests in a row and achieved
victory in but 4 of their last Il games.
Three Weeks Doom the AS.
From two games ahead of the Ma
tionals the AS dropped to nine con-
tests in the rear of the Griffs from
August Is to September three
weeks and three days.
Their victory over the Nationals
may prove the turning point for the
Macklets and start them on an i'm
pressive streak of consecutive wins,
but no squirt they may stage now can
