ing of the Pittsburgh team.
Taking their workout the day
before the series opened, Ruth and
Gehrig drove a number OF balls
over the right field barrier at
Forbes Field, while other New
York batters hit the ball to all
corners of the lot.
PIRATES SAW SLUGGING
I-HILE all this was happening,
WU the Pirates, who had prac-
w ticed first, sat in the stands
and watched the Yankees give a
perfect demonstration OF their re-
markable batting power.
This may have been a desired ges-
ture on the part of Miller Higgins.
No doubt he told the pitchers who
worked in batting practice to lay
the ball right over. Whatever his
instructions, the Yankees couldn't
have loc ed more formidable at the
bat than they did that day.
On the day of the opener, sat on
the Pittsburgh bench talking with
Ownie Bush, while the Yankees
took their batting practice. All four
Pittsburgh pitchers who expected to
work in the series, Kremer, Aldridge,
Meadows and Hill, were lined up
beside the Pittsburgh bench, watch
ing intently the methods of the
Yankee batSmen.
AS on the previous day, the
Yanks we're in a batting mood.
The psychology of the Yankees
bats undoubtedly had far-reach-
ing effect OH the Pirate stuff.
=
WERE BELOW FORM
THROUGHOUT the series the
Pirates seemed to be suffer-
III ing from an inferiority COM
pick.
After watching the New York
club in action prior to the opening
of the series, the players acted as
if they believed all the compliment
tary things that had been written
about the American League cham
pions.
With the possible exception of the
last game, there didn't seem to be
any fight in the Pirates. The team
as a whole acted as if they realized
New York was a better club and ulti-
mately would triumph.
Pittsburgh played as If the team
had burned itself out in winning the
pennant and early conceded in their
own minds the Yanks were the Eet-
ter team. For that reason the series
lacked the interest that usually goes
with the fall classic.
New York is unquestionabIy the
better team, but in justice to the
Pirates it must be said Bush's club
was far below form and never got

 WALLS CHALLENGE
Pastor Will Not Demonstrate
 Powers on S200 Wager

Waterbury. Conn, Nov. 15 LP- Officials of the Holy Trinity Hellenic Orthodox church wish to ignore the challenge of George 1valis New Britain clerk, for a demonstration of their pastors ability to raise bread without yeast for an offer of S200 and the matter will be dropped en- tirely. unless a sufficient number of the congregation wish 10 accept the challenge, in which case the church community will meet to decide the question.
 Publicity attending Ivalis' chal- lenge made through Charles Smith, president of the American associa- ton for the advancement of atheism had been distastful to the commun- ity according to officers of the church, and they wish nothing fur ther than that the unpleasant incl dent should fade from sight. The rite of raising bread without yeast is q portion of tho church services and will not be performed otherwise than in the regular worship of the ! congregation, they state.
 The demonstration of the powers of the pastor, Rev. Father John \. | Gcrotheou, to cause bread to rise by means of holy water, given in the presence of lvaliS at the home of one of the women members of the , congregation about two weeks ago, 1 was apparently an effort on the part of the pastor 10 convert the disbeliv- CT back into the ranks of the faith ful and was not done for any con- pensation. an officer of the church says.
