ALDRIDGE WILL OPPOSE PIP6RAS Pirates Place Hopes In Vic To Stop Slugging Yanks In Second Game By James L. Kilgallen, (IN’S S aft Correspondent) Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 6,-One down to the New Yoik Yankees in the world series but not at all discouraged, the Pi. tsburgh Pirates today were grimly de t rinined to square accounts with the Yanks at Forbes field this after-, noon. With that objective in view Manager Donie Hush indi tiled he’ would send the ve eran Vie Aldridge in to pitch against Babe Ru h and the other New York sluggt rs. John Gooch probably will catch Aldridge. George Pipgras and Pat Collins will undoubtedly be the battery for the Yankees, Manager Miller Huggins announced. Nei.her Manager Bush or the Pirates were discouraged by the 5-to 4 defeat of the Pirates in the opening game before 41,467 fans. “I think it will be one victory a piece by night- ’ fall.” Bush declared this morning. "I think our pitchers can stop the Yanks." The s rategy of the Pittsburgh' pitcher now seems to be to "curve ball" the Yankee slugger-'. Almost two out of three balls so far thrown to the Yanks have been curves and W 1.77 Pittsburgh came out on the wrong end of the score yesterday the Yankees were able to make only six hits, three of them by Ruth, all singles. The Pirates got nine hits., The Pittsburgh club is now convinced that the Yanks do not like curves. But the Yanks think o.herwise. “It won't be long now.” said Ruth this morning. "I feel monowt’ I’ve got to hit some longer ones hut I’m not kicking on those singles I made. I like Kremer’a pitching. My first two hits clicked just right and 1 would have got another off Kremer the third time up. I think, if I hadn’t slipped as 1 was swinging.” Ruth praised the Waner brothers, I .’oyd and Paul, as “a couple of good ball players,” adding: "They sure popped a few out my way.” Joe Hanis, Pira es first baseman, expressed the general sentiment of the Pi tsburgh team when be said: "Any team that gets five runs on six

Captain Wilson. Army, Jerks His Hip Evading Tacklers By SOL METZGER UNLESS all signs go wrong one ot the greatest backs of this ball is going to be Captain Wilson of West Point. Last year against the Navy he was a wonder and his great end runs will never be forgotten by the 100,000 who w.tnessed the Atmy-Navy game. There is one tiling you tan say ::b. ut Wilson's end runs. They are that />s a J w 1 ? \> - s<l Wv - ” g> r— ’ ,, H H / and nothing less. Grange would run the ends, change his mnd and cut in off tackle. Wilson goes for an end. lie goes at least 20 yards straight out fain his position for tlir side-line, tunning like a streak with oni interferer cbout a str de ahead of lit tn and between him and the enemy. And when he gets to the spot he wants to make his turn, e makes it, almost at right angles in spite of his burst of speed and without lo.s it a stride. That boy has winged feet. *Wi)fon outflanks the other team with this speed. His troubles come later when he gets to and beyond the icrimmagj L ite and begins to encounter tacklers as they come at him from the inside. Hut Captaiin \£>lson. U.S M.A I'.II.'K. (if you can guess what that means?), knows how to get by them as the afore aid 100,000 can verify. Fiorn the stands it looks as though he were dislocating his hips when he frees h'mself. Look at the three sketches of him above, imagine a tackler coining at him front Wilson’s right and 11l explain his evading movement. As the tackler drives Wilson leaps far to the side away from him. But that is not enough. As he alights h pulls In hips well forward, so far that the tackler falls ro his rear, and in the name mo/e he straightens himself and continues with his burst of -peed. He's a hard man to down. His end run play is diagrammed for those who have the use of an exceptionally fast back this fall. Ccpyr ght, 1927, Publishers Syndicate

Marisfeld Predicts Big Season For All Game . Indianapolis. Get. 6.—(VP)— George N. Mannfeld, fish and game superintendent of Indiana, predicts a big season for all game in the state ‘his I year. Hoosier nimrods should have got- , ten their first taste of duck and rabbit shooting this season last Saturday. The season opened on all ducks, ' except wood and eider, on geese, ’ brent coot, woodcock, jacksnipe and labbit*. There probably wasn’t any shooting last Sunday however, at least not I legally. Bo h hunting and fishing on Sunday are a part of the old blue laws, which have never been repealed in this state. The hunting ban is enforced by the state conservation depaitment, but fishing is permitted on Sunday. Mannfeld said. The squirrel season opened several weeks ago, but some hunters seem to be having a little trouble keeping within the bag limit of five a day. Both rabbits and ducks are plentiful. the wild fowl having Hocked early to the northern lakes, Mannfeld declared today. o Columbus, Ohio. —The freshmen at Ohio State used lowa plays against the varsity in practice Wednesday, and were unable to score on the regulars.

PIRATES' HOPES ARE STILL HIGH Pittsburgh Players And Fans Not Discouraged By Defeat On Wednesday Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 6 — 11'1’) r! ’'‘, ' dawning of another baseball day finds Pirates hopes still high. A mathematical advantage enjoyed by the New York Yankees as a result of their 5 to 4 victory in the opening game of the World Series is discoun'ed by Pittsburgh optimism. Great optitpists —These Pirate fans, i They remind one of those mythical 1 ragged urchins who ary popularly supI posed to nave pleaded with a certain , member of the notorious Black Sox some seven seasons or so ago: "Say it ain't true. Joe. Say it Ain't true," The American League champions have become 10 to 6 favorites over the Pirates by winning the first game, but yon can’t make these Pittsburgeis believe it. Game little Donie Bush refused today to take that first defeat to heart. "What does it amount to?” demanded the manager of the Buccanneers, truculently. "Don’t you realize that for the past four years the club wliiih lias won the opening game has lost the series?” Such happens to be the case. Each championship series from that of 1923 to the present has gone eventually t> th.? chi t which was beaten in the fu'St game And so while Miller Huggins, shrewd iltt’c man .»,r rof the Yaftkees. planned to take a‘< lance in < start one of h : s young pit< tiers, Georg Pipgras, in' Hie second game, Don"?

pends upon the answer to the films-1 tion- who will be i-g'-it t’ Lie right' time? Certainly both club* were wrong Wednesday. Especially disappointing was tiie showing of the slatting pitchore. Ray Kremer and Waite Hoyt. A little croup of master baseball minds sat behind homo plate during Hie opening game and sized, up Hie situation with surprising accuracy. Included in Hie group were John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants; Rogers Hornsby, who Is slat-i ed for the joli next season; Honus; Wagner, perhaps Hie greatest infielder of all time; and Genial Wilbert Robinson, who manages Hie Brooklyn Robins. National Leaguers, of course, lint the stnai test of baseball brains is represented in that group. They looked over the opposing teams for tiie first couple of innings, and then "Waite H.yt will never last out this game,” volunteered .McGraw. “Dot's a fact. I belief so myself." agreed Wagner. “Neither will I’j emer.” predicted Hornsby, who was looting heart and sole for the Pirate*. The Rotund Rohliie agreed. To these keen students of the game, the short-comings of the opposing p:‘ cher.-i bey-ante apparent long before Bush ami Huggins sized up the situation and ordered a cituple of nice hot shower baths for Ray and Waite. On the*other hand, the pitching of the relief twiriers, Wiley Moore, who success, and John Milju ’ who mow* 'hacked the Pirates one run short of down the vaunted Yanks in short or I der, won considerable favor in the eyes of the experts. And so, while each club has tried the pitcher it believed to ba best, and f mud that pitcher wanting, the r —eie J strong.l. of the opposing staffs has stood the test.
