No Nervousness on Team.
1t was mighty pleasing to see how
the team held up in the fifth and in
the ninth, when there was not a sign
of nervousness any place.
The Pittsburgh fans We're pI :ty
nervous in the flfth, when the Ma.
tionals loaded the bases. with none
down. and again in the ninth. when
once more the Nationals, two runs
behind, got three men on base. but the
Pirates, who have been playing be-
hind and with Aldridge all year. were
not SO nervous. Aldridge is that kind
of pitcher. He is a good man who
goes best when he Is in a jam of one
kind or another.
In that clutch in the fifth inning,
for instance, with the top of the Ma
tionals' batting order up, Aldridge did
not allow batter to get ball out Of
the infield. Wright helped with his
snappy stop and fine peg of Stanley
Harris hot shot.
I can't see anything but a Pirate
victory in the series now. With John
son and Coveleskie out of the way for
the time being and the Pirates on even
terms. things could not be nicer from
a Pittsburgh standpoint.
