 New York. Oct. LP>-Facinc a situation as desperate as it could be at this stage Of the world series. the Pittsburgh Pirates must win today's game from the New York Yankees or find their baseball future behind them for this year
 Charged with three defeats in as many days they can not afford to lose another. If the American lea guers capture today's contest the series is summarily ended, with the black flag Of the Pirates replaced by white one.
 Not since 1914 has q world series ended in four games. The same Yankees failed to win one from the Giants in 1922 but they got one tie.
 Not Very Hopeful
 Only the most faithful among the Pirate supporters held out hope to- day for an eventual National league triumph. To capture the series the Buccaneers must win four Straigh. games from q club they have not been able 10 stop in three tries.
 Optimistic Pittsburgh fans insist ed that the Pirates would proloug the struggle beyond it's minimum length by winning today.

OPERA SUNG

the Audran light opera, which WRC
provided, was a fair to middlin' per
formance. The chief scenes Of the
first part Of the opera were given
in q rather monotohous way that
did not realize the lifting character
of the music. In the program pro
vided by the synthetic Eskimos a
wide variety of effects were at
tempted and fairly well realized.
The local big spot of the even.

kit studio where Charlotte Harri-

The singer presented a program
made up almost wholly of music OF
the great composers and seemed
Just a bit awed by that fact. Her
voice was one Of rich quality and she

The outer wave lengths were very
noisy and most of those supplying
them with entertainment sustenance
seemed to be suffering from that
tired feeling developed by the trop-
ical atmospheric conditions.
