from New Orleans to box Harry

intention, was punched, mauled and
made to look silly by the worlds

IOF HE GAME

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. H.
Roger Peckinpaugh's fielding against
the Pirates is strangely Inaccurate
especially following the briIliancy
OF his work against the Giants ~
1924 and his excSllent season Just
ended. In six games Peck has
made six errors, three being low
throws ana three funbIes Of ground
ers. Only in Sundays game did he
have 4 clean slate. Bucky Harris
and Joe Judge are upholding the
record Of the washington infield
| for brilliant work in the field
though the former is playing with
q sore finger.
Goose Goslin is the constant butt
OF Jokes and foolish anti IS by Earl
smith. the Pirates catcher. Smith
pretends to be afraid of him, and
certainly has succeeded IN getting
Goslin's goat. At the same time,
angry as he becomes, Goslin has
made a new series home run record.
The sixth game offered no field
| Ing plays Of exceeding merit. BIuege
and Traynor turned in one tine
grop and running toss after going
over behind the box for merry hop
pers. but nobody else did anything
especially brilliant though Wright
showed speed in coming in Tor
Bucky Harris slow roller in the
sixth.
Pittsburgh fans, at least many
Of them, spent delightful fall
afkernOOn bOOing and barking at
sam Rice. probably blaming him
for making that famous catch Of
Smiths try for q home run IN
VVashin9tOn on Sunday. Rice
naid no attention to the hOwls
FOR blood. He was having his
troubles trying to hit Krenler
safely. He failed in that attempt.
For a bit it seemed that Joe
Harris was to tie the score in the
ninth with a homer to center. How.
ever, his drive lacked just that
power to surmount the screen IN
front of the temporary seats and
the. best he could get was two
bases.
Kih CuyIer continues to be q
cOlOrIess player i'm this series.
He went to bat four times yester-
day and his best was a sacrifice
bunt i'm the third. He sent two
flies to the gardens and rolled
once to the short field. Old Max
Carey has completely bIanketed
the more Widely-advertised Guy
Ter.
Dutch Ruether and Win Ballou
were sent to the right field bullpen
in the seventh, and it was rumored
that at least Ruether's prayer was
to be answered and he would climb
the hill against the Pirates. But
when Ferguson vanished In favor
of a pinch hitter, it was Ballou and
mot the southpaw who relieved Fer
glson in the box. Ruether Is the
most disappointed player in the
washington squad, and he will
never recover IL the series ends
without his seeing his name in a
box score.
If today's game moves as swiftly
as yesterdays the Griffmen should
arrive in the Capital tonight be.
tween IL and 1915 o'clock. If de.
feated, they will probably find. their
own personal friends awaiting
them. If they return champions
of the world for the second time
half Washington will probably be
at the. Union Station to see them
battle their way through the gates
and depart for their homes.

Walter johnson is old in years

from hard campaigning. Those
things mitigate against him in the
task he viii assume this afternoon.
But In his favor are two big
ti1ings-the Pirates fear him:
fear him as they fear no other
pitcher in either league. They
have felt his might and they
know the sting Of his prOwess.
And, then, there is the matter Of
heart, and that is the biggest Of all.
For If Walter succeeds this after
