The situation Of being two games
behind does not alarm us a bit.
OF course, it gives New York an
advantage, but it is not an insur-
mountable one by any means.
If memory serves, the Yankees
not only beat the Giants in the
first two games Of the world series
Of 1921, but also shut them out
on both occasions, yet the Giants
won five OF the next six games
and won the best out Of nine series
that was played that year by
margin Of five games to three.
Playing on alien soil seems to
pep up the BUGS to such an extent
that they play better ball away
than at home. And being in such
a position that we are two games
behind and must win four Of the
next five to win out in the series,
does not by any means spell defeat
for the Pirates. They have been
in numerous jams OF q similar ma.
ture in this years pennant fight.
IL we can grab the next two
games with Meadows and Car
men Hill doing the pitching,
and thus get chance to start
over again with Kremer and
Miljus on the hill, the series
win have an entirely different
complexion.
I have no fears about our pitch.
ers from now on. Vic Aldridge
pitched grand ball until things be-
gan to break badly for him. and
am just as hopeful that Meadows
and Hill win come UP to my ex.

game, would make most baseball
clubs get ready TO fold up their

(AIanager OF Pittsburgh BASE Rail
Club. National League Champions, and
former manager Washington Club
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Well,. we
have dropped another game and
are at considerable disadvantage in
the world series with the Yankees,
In consequence but don't Imagine
for minute that our cause Is
lost or that we are entertaining
any thoughts that we are in
danger of being beaten out.
The Yankees have had their turn
and are two games in front, as
q result, but our turn Is yet to
come. And it win come. Just as
certain as base ball is base ball.
Even New York supporters must
admit that thus far we have not
been favored by a single break.
Our hits, or practically all Of them,
have been clean and unquestion-
able, while our opponents have had
the benefit Of more than one loop
ing fly that dropped safe and
caused considerable damage.
AS far as the second game OF
the series Is concerned, it was
merely case Of being beaten by
uncommonly good pitching. The
bulk of the credit belongs to George
Pipgras, and want to salute him
and pay tribute to him as one of
the best young pitchers our clan
has faced in a long time.
The hid pitched whale Of q
game in there and justified the
confidence placed in him by
Manager Higgins when he
selected such q young mounds
man to start such an import.
ant game as the second event
Of the world series.
Manager Huggins surprised US
by putting him in, and Pipgras
himself surprised us after he went
in. The boy was just wild enough
to be good, and he not only had
q lot OF stuff but he knew how to
use it, and on the whole pitched
q game that was distinct credit
to him.
Beyond question the biggest fac.
tor in the Yankees second victory
In the series was the pitching of
PipgraE.
But even when due credit Is
given to the opposing pitcher it
must be admitted that the Pirates
are not hitting up to their normal
stride. They appeared to hit the
ball fairly well in the first game.
but In the second game our hitters
were clearly off. / say this with-
out attempting or desiring to take
any credit away from the pitching
OF Pipgras, for as have already
stated he pitched d remarkable
ut every stage Of the proceedings.
Any one who is familiar with
our club and its qualities. particu-
larly in the batting department.
must concede that we're hitting be.
low our par dislike alibis and
never would attempt to offer one
in the face of honestly suffered
defeats, but am not stretching
the acts an iota when repeat
that we're not hitting in Pirate
style.
It would be hard to. believe or
dinarily that a team with an at.
tack like ours would never make
more than one hit per inning, as
was the case in the second game.
Even allowing for the fine pitch.
ing Of Pipgras that kind OF hitting
is far below our standard.
And when a club is not hit
ting, IL looks bad in all other
departments. That's why we
have not shown ia advantage
I'm the first two games.
But as / said before our time Is
coming, and when it does, look out
for the Pirates to make up for
lost time. A club like ours cannot

The Washington times., 1927-10-07

Washington found that out when
the Pirates took kames five, six and
seven in a row to win the 1925
World Series pennant after the
had won three Of the first
four games.
The Pirates can lose today's game
or win today and lose tomorrow and
still be in no worse position than
they were in 1925 before they
spurted down the stretch to win
three straight games. This gave
the local fans courage and they
lined up before the big scoreboards
today, disappointed but certainly
not admitting defeat.
When the Pirates did the base
ball miracle in 1925 they had the
aid Of "Kili'' Cuyler, whose blow
in the ninth inning Of the seventh
game knocked in the winning run.
They have him this season, too, but
The Washington times., 1927-10-07

One has only to recall the
cOIOrful World Series Of 1925,
featuring the Pirates versus the
Washington Griffmen. to re-
member that the Pirates may be
down. but they can never safe
Nv be counted out until the
World Series count Of four.
The Washington times., 1927-10-07

Swallowed the Pirates in their two
victories in Pittsburgh. Their hits
have had more powell. their fielding
has been sharper and cleaner, their
fighting spirit more efficacious.
The Yankee hurlers have looked
much better than their rivals, es-
pecially when it comes to steadiness
under fire.
There Is something positively
deadly in the attitude OF the Yanlxs.
In each game thus far they have
seemed to lash out and tear their
opponents limb from limb, beating
their pitchers into Inconsistencies.
They have not quite done so az
yet, but the threat IS lurking in ali
their actions. They may do st today.
If not today, they may do it to-
morrow. But it Is q good bet
that they viii do it at least once
before the series ends.
The Pittsburgh pitchers have
halted the sluggers OF the Babe
Ruth and Lou Gehrig type. Ruth
has found no good balls TO swing
at. Gehrig has seen few. His triple
in the opening game was really 4
single played poorly by Paul Waner.
Yesterday he got hold OF Just one
good ball and away it sailed out
to the barrier in center, where lit
tie Lloyd Waner dragged it down.
just Bit more weight behind
1t and Gehrig would have
registered Q home run. At no
other time during the day did
he do 30 well. though rifIing h
two Dagger to right center in
the third inning.
Here the Yankee rooters have 3
habit of booing every pitcher issu-
ing pass to Babe Ruth. The
Pirate pitchers are in for consider
able booing for they are working
the corners on the big fellow using
mostly slow balls. So long as
Ruth cannot get a good grip on
the ball, he icannot hammer those
stupendous home runs out among
the cash customers.
AS yet the teams have not PLAYED
any thrilling games. There were
occasions yesterday when absolute
silence reigned in the packed park.
This seemed to affect even the
players themselves, though Joe Har-
ris was usually barking away
words Of advice to his pitcher. Joe
has a splendid voice for barking,
quite as though shooting it out OF
q deep abyss.
Yankee rooters were offering odds
OF to today that the world title
would go to their heroes. The
Yankees have to win but two out
ot the next five games to grab the
title. The Pirates on the other
hand must win four out of those
same five. That's going to be a
tough task.

Justice of the Peace Arthur C..

been in Washington since q few
hours after Wilson gave himself up
at police headquarters Tuesday aft
ernoon with a warrant for Wilson'S
arrest on charges of bank robbery,
took Wilson to Virginia and had him
locked up in the Alexandra jail.
Sheriff B. NJ. Borden of Shenan-
doah county. was on his way to
Alexandria with a deputy. according
to a long distance telephone mes
sage, to take Wilson to Woodstock.
Wilson, although he attempted to-
secure trial in Washington in
charges Of embezzling $3.50 from the
Home Laundry, decided not to fight
extradition, on the advice Of his at.
torney. j. William Shea. Shea said
Wilson was victom of bad company
and desired to aid the authorities in
every way possible.
Although Wilson is facing Is
years in the Virginia penitentiary
for his part in the hold-up, whether
1t was under duress, as he claims, or
not, Justice Stickley said that this
sentence probably would be ightened
if Wilson will aid the authorities in
apprehending the other man, Kirby
