TITLE AT STI YE IN TODAY'S CAME Senators And Pirates Battle For Honor And Extra Share In Receipts (By Henry L Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent! Pittsburgh, Pa. Oct. 14—After making another gallant stand, in which they battled themselves back into a tie. the Pittsburgh Pirates went against the Washington Senators for the highest position in baseball here today. There was not only the honor of a baseball championship in the seventh and deciding game of the series—there was more than $2,000 at stake for each player, representing the difference between the winning and losing share. The tension that each p ayer was bound to feel was figured strongly to the betting. Betters Favor Washington One group of big players, who had lost and regained $40,000 on the first six games were ready to offer the same amount today at S to 5 on the Senators. They said they thought Washington was the favorite because cf Walter Johnson and the greater j exper ence of the Senator team. The spirit of the Pirates in fight-i ing back into a tie brought back all the enthusiasm of the opening game, and there was more of a battle for tickets than there was before the series started. Johnson vs. Aldridge "Barney" Johnson, the veteran ace of the Washington staff, was an-i nounced by Bucky Harris this morn-! ing as the pitcher for the Senators, and Bill McKechnie indicated that hej would use Vic Aldridge. "Aldridge wants to pitch." he said, "and as he is a big strong fellow hej will not be hurt by a short rest." Johnson hasn't had his usual rest but he has trained himself particular-i ly for this series and the Washington! players probably would be steadier! behind Johnson. Aldridge, like Johnson, has won two games in the series and is a steady pitcher It is a cinch that he will not blow in a tight place if the

“COAT" BECOMES I HEBO OF SERIES Eddie Moore Turns "Razzing” Into Praise \\ ith Home Run Swat By Frank W. Getty -V. P. Staff Correspondent) Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 14. —As so often happens, a world's series hero stepped from virtual oblivion into the 'fine glare of the spotlight and the I glow ing hero worship of his fellow townsmen. In the case of little Eddie Moore, the sulky and somewhat conceited 'Pittsburgh second sacker, it is a case 'of makiug a hero out of a "goat." Since his long home run into the I left field stands broke up Tuesday's I ball game and evened the series for Ithe Pirates. Eddie has been the bigIgest man in Pittsburgh Before that 'decisive blow was struck, he had been Ithe target for heartless -razzberries" i.nd even cries of “Take him out." I Hurts Hand In Practice Moore, who is a great second baseman was not over-popular with the fans or his teammates, principally because he was most certain and as'sertive about his greatness. Eddie ihad been unable to do nitwit against Ithe Washington pitchers and his weakI trees at bat had been costly to the I Pirates in earlier games. Just before the Tuesday game, there came one of those "breaks" which have so much to do with the outcome of world's series games. Buring Pittsburgh batting practice, Eddie, who was at the cage takiug his turn, was struck ou the right hand by a fast ball. The pain was so great (hat the kid feared he had been seriously hurt. With tears in his eyes, Eddie gritted his teeth, said nothing and slipped away unobserved under (he stands. His Batting Features Until ten minutes before the game, the youngster hid out. fearful that | I’-i’.l McKechnie, his manager, would :,uu iiim auu kuo» he uad been hurt. Old Han- Wagner, who was a big league star before Moore was born, came upon Eddie, sobbing as though his heart would break. “What's the matter, kid?' asked Wagner. “I'm all right. John. U'l be in there." Eddie sniffed. Then he ran out onto the field and concealed his injury. His batting was the feature of the contest and it was his bomer in the fifth that won for Pittsburgh. Hit Was One-Handed Wallop When Eddie romped around the bases to the dugout into the joyous arms of his mates, who poinded him on the back and wrung his hand, he was fairly bursting with pride and satisfaction. The home run. Moore said afterward, was made pracitcally with his left hand, for he could hardly grip the bat with his right. Os such things are world's series victories and heroes made. Q i., n —...

Carey has been one of the outstanding stars in the pr«4pent world's series, and if the Pirates win the championship, much of the credit wili be due him. Rev. Hint has preserved a clipping from a Fort Wayne newspaper, which gives a complete acocunt of the 4 0 victory of Concordia college over the j Magnolias in 1909. The story is as 1 follows: j "in a fast, snappy game, without any umpire wrangling, the Concordtans calcimined the Magnolias yesterday afternoon.
