 Washington, Oct. l2.--Supported in brilliant fashion by that Kansas marvel of two decades. Walter Johnson, and playing with oxcep- tional skill on his own account, Stanley Harris, youngest manager in baseball, moves forward today toward his second world series con- quest.
 Holding a margin Of three games to one over the Pittsburgh Pirates, it seems that only miracle can keep Washington from the triumph it has brought within it's grasp through a remarkable combination of magnificent pitching by Johnson, extraordinary strategy by Harris, an effective attack that has Goose Goslin and Joe Harris as it's biggest guns and an astonishing defense in which Sam Rice, Muddy Ruel and Harris himself have played the most conspicuous parts.
 On top of Johnsons spectacular shutout of the Pirates yesterday by a four-nothing margin, 1t seems likely that the winning momentum of the Senators may carry them on quickly to the one victory needed 10 clinch the series. The bid for 1t will be placed in the hands of the veteran spitball star, Stanley Cove leskie, although he alone of the Senator's staff has tasted defeat. But "Covey's" setback in the second game was more the failure of his team mates than his own fault, and Harris is confident the big Pole will come through today.
 The Pirates. their backs now to the wall. will call on their unbeaten star, Vic Aldridgo, conqueror of Coveleskie, for today's stand. It was the regular turn for Lee Meadows but the bespectacled ace has suffer- ed a sore arm since his work in the opening game and may see no fur ther service, even if the series is prolonged after today.
 But unless the Pirates recover the attacking ability that was sup posed to be their main asset, their cause seems lost. Marauders of the National league this season, the young Buccaneers entered the series hailed as one of the greatest at tacking arrays of all times, yet they have fallen down miserably before the sharpshooUng of Johnson. Fer guson, Marberfy and CovelesIie, eX- cept for few brief flashes,
 While they led the National league in batting with a mark of .SO6 for the regular season, the Pirates have hit at only q .2O5 pace so far in the series, proof enough of their downfall from slugglng heights. Two of their heaviest guns, Cuyler and Barnhart, have been impotent for the most part al- though Cuyler's homer was de- cisive blow in the second game. Pie Traynor, however, alone has hit con- sistently for the National lcaguers while also playing brilliantly in the field.
 The world series career of Walter Johnson now has reached the glory that was his goal but which was denied him last season. It exceeds even his remarkable four-inning victorious stand against the Giants as the sun was going down at Griffith stadium.
 The Senators rode to their third victory on Johnson's good right arm and the heavy bat of Leon (GOosc) Gosln. The Goose took wing in the third, carried a scrceching drive over the head of Clyde Barnhart and flew around the paths in the wake of two mates. Joe Harris fol- lowed Gosln's creation with q furi- ous lift which imbcdded itself in the permanent stands of left field. the only home run in inc series that has passed beyond the confines oi temporary Jands,
 As the game drew 10 its close, Buck Harris shared the limelight with Johnson and GoStiu with two sensational defensive plays that cut off Pirate threats. Tn the seventh the yonng manager lvapcl and stab bed ScrcochnE drive from Wrights hat and then doubled Tray nor, who had singled off first Again in the ninth Harris raced In tr scoop up Traynor's smash. taG Rarnhart. who had va'kcL on thc base lino. and complete another double play with a quick tors tr ArEt.
