 Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, Oct. 8. The battle for the 1925 world baseball championship entered It's second phase today with the Wash ington Senators one up over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
 Weather conditions were even better than yesterday as the two teams took the field to warm Up for a tussle that was. expected to find another pair of rival right handed pitching veterans, Stanley Coveleskie and Vic Aldridge, opposed to each other.
 A battery of photographers surs rounded Coveleskie as he warmed up while another group of photo- graphers took snapshots of Vic Aldridge as he got into condition for Pittsburgh. Coveleski did not seem to show any difficulty In his pitching motion because of recent muscle strain in his back. Aldridge employed wide curve and 1t was evident that he was going to follow the plan of Meadows in feeding the Senators constantly with deceptive hooks. This was considered good strategy by McKechnie because the American league Is mainly a fast ball club, its pitchers depending on sped largely. While the pitchers were warming up the big crowd was kept in good humor by the antics of Nick Altrock and Al Schacht They put on their rowing and box ing stunts which drew big laugh.

There was solemn hush among the fans as the two clubs faced each other.
