dReg. U. s. Pat. OnD RR lACK CHnDY

New York. Aug. g. CUPD-Frankie Frisch. manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates and a guy who has been in baseball for quite a few seasons. must be wOndeE1ng today just what a bah club has to do to win a Na- tlonal league pennant in this war year.
 Frustrated Frankie. and he must be just that, has keyed his Pirates to such a pitch that they have won 10 of their last a ball games but still are l7 games behind the lead ing st. Louis Cardinals. only a game and a half closer than they were when they started this pllen- omenal brand of ball on Aug. 6.
 Last night. for instance. the Pirates won their sixth consecutive game by beating the Brooklyn Dodgers. 7-5. But the Cardinals won two from the Boston Braves with a net loss of one hall game to the Bucs in their desperate drive to close the wide gap between them- selves and St. Louis.
 Frisch evidently has instilled some of his own fighting spirit into the Bucs for on paper the club giyes no evidence of the strength which has carried it to i7 traumphs in its last ls games. According to the latest ofIiciai averages. the Pirates were fifth in team batting and sixth in fielding. Their top pitcher, Trnett lRipD Sewell, from d games won standpoint. has bus ls triumphs and has dropped lO.
 One star, nov shining brightly in the Pittsburgh Outdeld. Is Jifn Russell, a ball player good enough for the majors in any year. Rus sell, in his second year under Ffsscn' has sparked the club at bat the past few weeks and has worked his average up to around the 300 ella, He fields well, runs the bases m a Frischian manner. and has a Dui- let like peg from the outer gardens.
 The Bucs have been winning the close ones and. in more cases man not have come from behind Co turn the trick. Ten of their victories since Aug. 6, have been decided by one or two runs. and one Of tue two losses suffered was q 3-2 deel' sion to Philadelphia.
 A lack of starting pitchers plagued the club early in the season. else the distance from the Cardinals might not be quite so great. The acquisition Of Fritz Osteripuelier former Dodger, from Syracuse oi tine International League proved 2 great boon to Friscb. Not only did it give him another starting burier but a eft-hander as well, and Frlti has chalked up nine victories tol tine Bues since joining the club.
 Fireball Frankie has the pirates going great, but he wishes some' body would give him a solution fo' the Cardinals. He can use st Thf Pirates open a foar-game series tn St. Louis on Friday,
