FORBES FIELD. PITTSBURGH.
October GA blazing sun greeted the
New York Yankees and Pittsburgh
Pirates when they came out today to
renew the world series competition. be-
gun in rather haphazard style yes
terday.
There was contrast in the de-
meanor of the opposing athletes as
they went to their respective club
houses to don their uniforms. The
Yankees, with victory in the opener.
under their belt, were carefree and
willing to jest at random. The Pirates
were a soberfaced group and might
have been thinking of vigorous
tongue lashing, real or fancied, admin
stored by their manager, Donnie Bush.
for their mental and physical lapses
yesterday. Bush may not have
"bawled out" his players, but he is
known to have a rasping tongue.
The crowd was slow in assembling
for the second game. At noon there
were many wide open spaces in the
bleachers beyond the outfield fences
and the lines formed in the streets for
neither 50 long nor so patient as those
in evidence at the first game.
Woman Arrives First.
The first grandstand spectator to
arrive was woman. Long before
player appeared on the field she took
a seat in the open section OF the big
stand and raised a purple umbrella
70 shield her from the blistering rays
Of the sun.
In spite of the dilatory tactics of
the crowd there was no apprehension
that the attendance would fall far
short Of the $4,000 more or less who
can be crowded into the base ball
plant.
The Yankees hospital list grew
overnight. Tony LazZeri bobbed up
with badly sprained wrist suffered
in yesterdays game when he made
a great play In starting double
play. His wrist was hurt as he tagged
Grantham diving into second. How
ever, the injury applies only to his
left wrist and he was prepared to
carry his bandages into the game.
Mark koenig was also shaken up in
Yesterdays game but reported fairly
fit today. Herb Pennock, star Yankee
southpaw. was well on the way to
recovery from a wounded knee, caused
by a line drive in batting practice
before the series opened
Waite Hoyt and Joe Dugan of the
Yankees had their satisfaction at
winning the first game dimmed by
the events of the night when robbers
entered their room and took away
S400 of their money
After batting practice Tony L.azzeri
complained that his injured wrist was
a severe handicap in gripping a bat
and it seemed likely that Ray Moore
hart would start the game at second
base for the Yankees. The Austin
College boy was ready to assume the
responsibility OF understanding for
LaZZeri and seemed enthusia site at
the prospect. Final decision, how.
ever. awaited infield practice.
No other changes in the line.ups as
announced by the opposing managers
were in prospect.

as an indication that the Pirate board

he said that he would pitch Pipgras, a

paw had to serve.
The hot sun drove the band into the
shade. and the early music was rem
dered soft and low in the shadow of
the right field wall.
There was a furry Of excitement
when a youth crashed the gate" ana
lost himself in the crowd after out
footing two ushers and q policeman.
The Pirates between times at bat
told Of their confidence that they
would be able to even the series by
winning the second game. "It will be
different story today" declared
Pie" Traynor
The autograph hunters had better
luck today, and the players OF both
clubs were busy signing their names
to a variety Of souvenirs.
The Pirates hit many sharp drives
