PIRATES STAGE BATTING
RAMPAGE AND WHIP SENATOR'S
Continued from Page One

warts still must take two straight
games to gain the worlds champion
ship heights, the club last held in 1909,
for the count still gives the Senators
the edge at three games to two, but
their batting rampage today has
brought startling revival of Pitts
burgh hopes.
Four Hurlers Hit
These hopes We're further bright
ened by the wreckage that this savage
Pirate attack left in the pitching ranks
of the Senators. Four Washington
moundsmen altogether felt the reck-
less blows of their young rivals, Zach
airy as well as Coveleskie being knock
cd out of the box, while Win Ballou
and Fred Marberry were rushed out
in an attempt to check the sweeping
advance of the invaders in the last
three innings.
Harris lost the day with his big
ace, Coveleskie, and now faces his
fight for one more victory with
badly battered hurting staff. For to-
morrow he must use either Alex
Ferguson, who was credited with the
third game victory, after being wal
Hoped bit, or Dutch Ruether, veter-
an southpaw and the only regular
who has not gone to a firing line
where the Pirates are supposed to be
fatal to portsiders.
May Go to Seven Games
With this prospect it may be that
the issue will go to the limit of seven
games with the final hopes of the
Senators resting again on their great
veteran, Walter Johnson, who fin
ished his second victory yesterday
with an injured right leg-in base
ball parlance a Charley horse
and would be taxing even his great
strength and heart to win again with
only two days rest.
Today, with a big crowd close to
$4,000 that again included President
and Mrs. Coolidge, Pirate bats that
had been silenced for the most part
thus far broke through the barriers
in the knowledge that defeat meant
final elimination.
Pirates Turn
Probably the major share of the
throng came out to see Washington
put the finishing touches to a second
successive worlds championship,
which seemed in the Capitals grasp
once more after a brilliant attack
and defense had all but oyerwhelm-
ed the National League champions.
But instead they saw an aroused
young Pirate crew, with the CLINT of
determination in their eyes, smash
all before them in succession OF
fiery drives.
The first fan of the land. Presi-
dent Coolidge, did not stay to see the
whirlwind finish of the Pirates but
even when he was called away by
diplomatic engagement in the third
inning he had seen enough to con-
vince him that it wss Pittsburgh's
day.
For It was the third, inning that
first saw the onslaught in full swing.
producing two runs that put the
Pirates in the lead after Washing
ton had gotten away to a one run
advantage in the first inning. \
Gained as Game Progressed
From that point on, it was only a
question of how long the Pirates
could be kept in check. There was
a revival of Washington hopes in the
fourth when Joe Harris, slamming
out his third home run of the series
into the left field stands, tied the
score, but the National Leaguers
broke through in the seventh and
were never headed after that.
Through the last three innings,
the Pirates turned close battle into
a rout with an attack which found
weapons long silent finally breaking
down all barriers.
