FANS
HAVE HOPE:

PITTSBURGH, Oct. g. Pitts.
burgh fans have seen the Pirates in
miserable hitting slumps before but
never did It hurt like in the present
world series with the New York
Yankees. ''Murderers' row." that
fence busting gang that became
famous for breaking up ball games
In the eighth and ninth innings by
overcoming three or four run leads
couldn't even be accused Of in
voluntary manslaughIer az the
series went into the fourth game
today.
Few fans 80 bold az to predict
that the Pirates ultimately will win
the pennant, but thousands lined up
before the electric scoreboards here
in the belief that today the Pirates
may step out Of one of their worst
batting slumps and extend the
series TO a few more than the
minimum four games at least.
Shouts OF gIee went up from
assenlblages of loyal 2srate fans
when the New York wires licked
off word that it was raining
there q few hours before game
time and that there was q pos
sibility of q forced interlnissiOn
In the series at this stage.
Nothing would be more welcomed
by the Pittsburgh rooters, who be-
lieve that given an opportunity TO
collect themselves and benefit by
days rest the one-time hard-hit-
ting Pirates will write q different
ending for the 1927 world series
than that prepared by the advocates.
Of a -four straight" victory for the
Yankees.
Thus far few Of the Pirates
have lived up to their regular
season record I'm the world
series. Such hitters as doe
/ Harris, Glen Wright, Grantham,
TraynOr and Lloyd Waner
have hit below their usual
marks. Harris failed to get b
single In three games and
Wright hit safely but once.
A day Of rest, in the opinion Of
the Pittsburgh fans, might furnish
| the necessary stimulus needed to
whip the shattered Pirates into
stride. The same thousands who
stood breathless before the score,
boards yesterday and watched
seven innings roll by before the
Pirates got a hit went back to
their places today, but each hoped
| rain would cause a postponement
of the fourth game.
