TIME march Of Pittsburgh's phan-
tom legion moves on through
the darkness in a stubborn at
Il tempt to recapture vanished
hope. It all seems so impos-
sible, but this return of Corsair ghosts
from the grave nevertheless is giving
the National League, and all base ball
for that matter, the only shred of q
supreme moment the stretch run of
1929 can know
The miracle may last no longer, but
through three games in two days, to the
utter arnaZement Of Joseph Mccarthy
and the Cubs. The third Pittsburgh 6e-
cision was gained by to at Forbes
Field yesterday as small huddle Of the
faithful sat and watched.
Veteran Petty in Form.
The venerable Mr.. Jesse Petty, left
handler though he is, held his own so
well against nine right-handed Bruin
swingers that the Pirates were able to
exc out the decision in the sixth when
two runs were, scored on Traynor's
triple, Grantham's double, Comoroskys
infield hit and Hemsley's sacrifice fly.
Hal Carlson allowed only 8. hits to 10
by Petty, but was unfortunate enough
to see them punched.
This latest Pirate victory served only
to reduce the lead Of the Cubs to 11l2
games. The Dreyfuss dragons need all
the series and all may be too little, but
they at least hope that Brame and pos
sibly Grimes can continue the squirt
against Bush and Blake. Then. with
the Bruin lead shorn to nine and one
half engagements, Mr.. Jewel Ems might
be permitted to wonder just how great
. miracle was needed to accomplish
what would be the greatest Of all base
ball miracles.
Bill Walker, the young Giant south
paw, hirted with the hall Of fame at
Ebbets Field yesterday when he, held
the Robins hitlesS through eight rounds
only to see them pick up four blows and
two runs in the ninth. The Giants
won the game by to 2. Mel OFT helped
with his thirty-third homer. The Phil
lies scored twice in the tenth at Boston
to nose out the Braves, who came back
with one in the same half, by a score
Of to 4.

their lead by shading the Red Sox by

pulled up to a tie in the fifth after
two were out. Then Rice srnote two
Dagger to right center and reached
third as Byrd fumbled the hit. Dickey
pegged wildly trying to pick Sam OH
the far corner, and the run crossed.
This tie the Yanks wasted no time in
shattering. Dickey and Durocher sin
gled in the fifth and Hoyt sacrificed.
Byrd walked to fill the sacks, but de-
spite this the Yanks should not have
counted, for Lary's best was a high ny
to short right, which fell between Myer

then pulled up, waiting for the other to
carry on. That tailed Dickey, and
Durocher crossed as Ruth grounded to
Judge.
The blow-off came in the eighth.
Judge and Rice singled, and Judge
scored as Goslin doubled. Moore took
Hoyt's place on the hill, and Myer hit
sharply to Durocher, who was charged
with an error, although the blow might
well have been accounted a safety for
Buddy. That put Rice over with the
tying tally. West singled Goslin home.
and Cronin followed with healthy and
helpful homer.
Hayes took a nasty whack on the top
of his head from one of Pennock's
pitches in the fourth inning of the first
game. The ball bounded from Jacks
head high into the air and landed in
the pitchers box. Hayes was felled by
the blow, but revived within few min
utes and trotted to first. He played
through the remainder Of the twin bill,
but he still had a sore top-piece this
morning.
Quite string of sevens in the home
run business in the double-header-No.
for Cronin, No. II for Goslin and No.
81 for Ruth.
Hadley hurled a complete game yes
terday for the first time since August
2, when he went the route against the
Browns and won in Washington. It
was his fifth complete game Of the
season.
Liska went through q brief workout
yesterday, but the pitcher still Is 80

Nationals for some time. However, he

games to the Forest City Typos, It will

Cleveland, which is the only other

has yet to be defeated in the series.
Washington was hopeful of winning the
first game today and making a second
unnecessary.
The team from the National Capital
which has won the tournament title so
consistently that it is becoming almost
monotonous, triumphed yesterday in
characteristic style, staging a batting
orgy in the sixth inning to overcome an
early alien lead and handily gain the
decision.
Entering the sixth, trailing, 3 to 4.
the champions clouted the ball to all
corners of the field to get runs and
victory. Edwards and Homan clouted
homers and Hollis, Roudabush and

n VIEW YORK, August 30-Al-
though getting nothing more
than an even break with the
4 Yankees in the double-header
played here yesterday, the Ma
tionals picked up half game on the
Tigers, the bunch they are hoping to
overhaul. and now are but half game
behind the Harris horde and fifth place.
The johnson band gained by beat
ing the Yanks in the second fray while
the Detroit outfit was being white
washed by the Browns in the lone
tussle scheduled in st. Louis. With
most of the hitting in the double
header here telling in the scoring. there
was plenty of action throughout yes
terday afternoon in Yankee Stadium.
The details show how well the Ma
tionals fought.
In the first game the Yanks got away
in front. Singles by Byrd and Larry
and Ruth's sacrifice accounted for q
f1rst-inning run. The Nationals matched
this tally in round three with singles
by Spencer and Hayes and Marberry's
sacriflcial hoist. then went ahead in
the fourth with Myers two-bagger,
Cronin's sacrifice and Vests one-baser.
Yanks Even Fray.
The Yanks Immediately deadlocked
the fray when, with one out, successive
singles by burst, Gehrig land Lazzeri
were good for a marker. Goslins homer
broke the tie in the eighth, and hits
from the bats Of Cronin, Spencer and
Hayes added another run before the
inning ended.
Then the YanKs upset the works.
Koenig picked up Pennock's bat and
hit for q base to open the home eighth.
Byrd was given a single for q slow
bounder that Cronin kicked around
when it seemed the shortstop should
have caught Koenig at second easily.
Robertson, pinching for Larry, hoisted
out, but Ruth didn't. He went to
one ball and two strikes count, then
Walloped his No. 81 homer.
The Yanks jumped to the front again
in the second set-to. earning one run
and getting another when the Ma
tionals' defense became fingered.
Larry walked and was singled to second
by the Babe. bursts single to left was
good enough to score Larry, but Goslin
persisted In throwing to the plate.
burst headed for second on the heave
and made 1t when Myer failed to hold
Ruel's throw Ruth, who had gone to
third on bursts hit, was trapped on
the line as Gehrig was caught for
what should have been the third out.
Judge raced across the diamond and
barely missed tagging Ruth. who was
lodging about. Finally the Babe headed
for the plate With Judge In pursuit,
and got ther safely when Ruel allowed
the ball thrown by Judge to trickle
through his hands.
