Pirates came from behind today to
score two runs in the ninth and edge
out the Boston Bees, to /, in the rub
ber contest OF the three-gam series.
Both teams backed up alright pitch
ing with errorless ball.
The Pirates had made only five hits
of the veterans southpaw, Milburn
Shoffner-never more than one In any
inning-when the break occurred that
decided the game.
Gus suhr who had made two singles,
led of the ninth with a fly to right
center that either Vince Di Maggie or
Johnny Cooney should have caught
easily. but the two Boston outfielders
collided and the ball dropped safely
for two-bagger.

Young sacrificed Suhr to third and
the first baseman scored the tying
run on Handley's single to left. Al
Todd then Clipped in with q single

The Bees made their only run in
