CUNNING SLAB WORK
AND ERRORS DECIDE
BY JOHN Il. FOSTER.

There was no cloud of gloom about
the browS of the Pittsburgh Pirates
when they arrived at Washington to-
day for the third game of the world
series.
McKechnie's men. buoyed up by
their victory over the Nationals yes
terday, were a far different outfit from
that which Wednesday afternoon
emerged defeated from nine innings in
which Walter Johnson made them
locke like rinGtail monkeys.
1t was wise and cunning old pitch
who tied up the series standing, a
pitcher who fully lived up to his repu-
tation of being a money" hurler, re-
sourceful in a pinch.
But what really paved the way for
the Joy of the Pittsburgh fans We're
two fumblcs at short by the usually
reliable Peckinpaugh.
Coveleskie pitched what would have
been winning game had his team
aided him with the bat and not muffed
hits in the field.
The great feat of Aldridge was in
the fifth inning, when Washington
should have put the game on ice. 1t
was a greater feat than johnson ac-
compltShed In any one inning, but
johnson had nothing similar to face.
Peckinpaugh. Ruel and Coveleskie
singled in succession. filling the bases,
with none out. Covey got his because
he poked Il bunt toward third base.
and Aldridge tried to get Peck at
third without success. What a setting
for Washington. Aldridee made Rice
tap weakly to him and Peck was
thrown out at the plate. Then Harris
hit a bounder and Ruel was forced at
the plate. Goslin grounded out to
Grantham and the act was over.
In the ninth the Washingtons had
three on bases again with no one out,
and although Aldridge did not get out
rof it as we'll as he did in the fifth,
only one run was scored.
Grantham played astonishingly well
at first base. Two one-handed catches
saved what would have been damag-
ing errors.
Evening star., 1925-10-09

"Goose" Goslin. from whom eXcep-
tional play was expected when the
series started, has not had single
chance in the outfield and has scored
only one hit i'll eight times at bat.
Max Carey has found both Johnson
and Coveleskie puzZling. "Wednesday
he struck out on three pitched balls
all Of them called strikes. Yesterday
he did the same thing against Cove
leskie but took Il swing at the last
one.
The Nationals have faced nothing
but hooks in the series and Nc
kechnia evidently plans to curve them
to death. having assigned kremer for
the third tuSSle. With the count three
and two neither Aldridge nor Mead

Prophets again are confounded.

1t was Traynor who scored the
Pirates only run Wednesday with a
homer and Wright's circuit smash
yesterday tied the score.
Home runs have started the scoring
in both games-in fact they have been
the first hits. Wednesday Joe Harris
poled one into the righttield stands
in the second and Judge duplicated
the feat yesterday.

Kiki Cuyler, u lad who was wonder
ing why he had to take milk through

Walter Johnson, Coveleskie and Peck
inpaugh were out winning ball games,
knows that a stitch in time saves nine
and i hit in time saves ball games.
He is still "a Boy Scout. but when he
looks at elderly gentlemen he forgets
all about that ''one good deed a day

Johnson he respected the motto. but

yesterday he decided that whatever
good deed he had done toward old age

good enough for the rest of the month.

Myer Cool in Action.
Buddy Myor, the Mississippi young
ster, who was sent to third base after
Bluege was knocked out of commits
sion. was remarkably cool in action a
player in his first year In professional
base ball and under the big tent not
more than six weeks, he conducted
himself like a veteran. Myer took eX-
cellent care of his only chance, pop
fly lifted by Glenn Wright in the eighth
inning and in his one turn at bat the
portside sWinger caught Pie Traynor
lat-footed by rifiing a grounder to-
ward left field. The fine third-sacker
of the Pirates had no chance to start
for the ball.

Still another golden opportunity was
presented In the ninth. when Buddy

with no putouts recorded. On this
occasion no sluggers were available in
the regular order of batting. SO Boss

Eeach was summoned to bat for Ruel
and delivered a fly to Carey that
cashed McNeely, who was running for
Joe Harris. Myer held second base,

Ruether then was drafted to club
for Covey, but after looking over a

Alex to be one of the pitching sur
prises of the series. and ] am not

up 20 pounds since he became a Ma

and much more fit to go the route
than when with the Yankees this year
