He left shortly after the game win

to whether he would return TO the
lineup tomorrow, in spite or Man
ager Bucky Harris optimism.
Injury to Bluege
The, loss of Bluege. whose play
has been a feature of the series thus
far. came at a critical moment for
the Senators, who were battling to
break the IL deadlock brought
about when Glenn Wright, Pirate
shortstop, walloped a home run into
the right field stands in the fourth
irnin- that offset the advantage
gained by the Senators on Joe
Judges round trip smash into the
right field grandstand extension.
Even with Bluege in the lineup,
however, it is doubtful whether the
Senators could have survived the
fral Pirate drive, in which Guy
lors homer broke the deadlock and
scored Eddie Moore ahead of him
with the deciding TALES, while AID
ridge. making the last of series
of Gallant stands, held the Senator'S
in a desperate ninth inning rally that
fell only one run short of tying the
count.
Out Of . Pinch
Then Senators had filled the bases
with none out in their last inning
COUNTERPART and did manage to
push over one run on a long sacrifice
fly by Bob Veach, in pinch hitting
role, but Aldridge struck out Dutch
Ruether, another substitute batsman,
and retired the dangerous Sam Rice
on an easy bounder for the final out.
1t was the second time in the game
that the worlds champions filled the
bases with none out but on the first
occasion, the fifth inning, they were
even less successful, going out with
out making a run. In that frame
Aldridge put himself in the hole by
outstanding Covelskie's bunt. and
throwing too late to third after Peck
and ARuel had hit Texas Leaguers.
But the Pirate twirler pulled himself
together with Washington's heavy
artillery facing him. He forced Rice,
Stan Harris and Goslin to hit into
easy infield plays, two of which were
forceouts at the plate.
Aldridge Keeps Up Courage
Through the earlier stages of the
game, Aldridge was outpitched and
hit harder than his rival, Covelskie,
but his courage and control lifted
him close to invincibility when dan
ger l,irked nearest Besides his great
stands in the fifth and ninth, AID
ridge choked off Senator threats in
two other innings when the fleet
footed Sam Rice was in a position to
score from second or third If the
needed hit could emily come through.
Covelskie himself twirled capable
ball. pulling himself out of bad holes
in two innings, the third and sixth.
but his downfall was accomplished
through two master strokes-the
home runs of Wright and Cuyler-al-
though the big Polish stars. moist
ball, silenced the main Pirate guns
for the most part.
Peck Makes Bad Error
There was no doubt, too, that two
separate but distinct breaks helped
Pittsburgh's eighth Inning squirt. The
first was an error by the usually re-
liable veteran Peckinpaugh, who
couldn't handle the moist ball driven
at him by Eddie Moore before the
runner got to first. The second
break" came moment later when
Cuyler's hard drive to right, scoring
Moore ahead of him. took sharp
hop that ended in the front part OF
the temporary stands. It was q
fiuke homer. a hit that would have
given no more than two bases on
the regular playing field, but 1t was
SUFFICIENT to clinch the battle.
Regardless Of these turns of for
tune. however, the Pirates probably
would have tailed twice in this inn
ing. Moore on second at the time
would have scored even If Cuyler's
blow hadn't jumped out of the field
Barphart followed with another hit
and, Peck contributed second error
on Traynor's bounder but these
blows were wasted as Covelskie
steadied and checked the onslaught
The victory was scored, in dram
attic setting-made so by the roarine
spirit Of the capacity crowd, the
presence Of old-time heroes Of Pitts
burgh's last worlds series victory
sixteen years ago, and by the trib-
tues paid to the memory of one OF
the greatest championship heroes OF
al-Christy Mathewson.
