“FOUR STRAIGHT” SAYSYANKS;“NOT LICKED", PIRATES Pirates Are Grim, Determined Bunch As They Enter Third Game PITCHING CHOICES ARE UNCERTAIN By James L. Kilgallen (I N S Staff Correspondent) New York, Oct. 7 (INS) “Four i straight" was the battle cry of the New York Yankees as they returned home today from Pittsburgh where they rode roughshod over the Pirates in the ho opening games of the Wot id Seties. winning the first 5 to 4 and the second 6 to 2. This is a decidedly ambitious program for no club has made it a clean sweep in the annual baseball classic since the Boston Braves won for consecutive games from Philadelphia Athletics in Pall i The Idea of four straight is scorned by the Pirates. They are due to win, and they think they will win today when the two clubs resume hotilities in the Yankee stadium where upward of 60,000 are expected to view the struggle. “Don’t count us out,” said manager Donie Bush. "We’ve been in tigh' spots before. I’ve got a game ball club with plenty of power, and I'm banking on them to show it." The Pirates were a grim, determined] aggiegation when their special pulled into New York this morning. They 1 realize their backs are to the wall, 1 that they’ve got to win now or never. 1 They had no excuses to offer over yes-1 terday’s convincing defeat. They were out-hit, out pitched and out-fielded but not out-gamed. Gameness did not enter the issue as the pitchers. Vic Aldridge and Mike Covengros, tossed the game away. They lost the first battle by errors at crucial stages. But so) far they have hit almost as heavily, of not as opportunely, as the yanks,j having made sixtee nhits in two games , as compared with seventeen registered by the New York Club. Bush was undecided whether to start one of his spectatled pitchers, Lc, Meadows or Cartpen Hill, on the mound or trust the assignment to John I Miljus. Meadows and Hill are Cagey' veterans, a trifle old but very dependable, while Miljus showed in his re-1 lief pitching Wednesday that he knew

“Pop” Warner Used Laterals in Big Games Back in ’l7 By SOL METZGER WILL Pop Warner's mind go batjk to 1917 when he plans; to weave into his attack tliis fall the lateral pass. We have always had the lateral pass in football, but never before was it permitted to fumble one wtthrul penalty. Ths year you merely lose a down, wli.ch is about 50 yard-- better than losing the ball to your opponents.

H H J Anyhow, in 1917, Pop had the lateral pass in his mind. In two games that tai', agai-st Penn and against Washington & Jefferson. Pop sprang d special offense for the purpose of combining a lateral and forward pissing attack with runs. As I happened to lie scouting Pop's Pttt team that Xu’l and saw both these games, let's look Unto what Pop then had in mind and see what is to be learned from it about the new lateral pass. Warner used a square formation for his backs, Nos. 3 and 4 player! about 4 yards apart and 3 yards back, of the linte, just ind de their tackles. Nite. 1 and 2 were 4 yards redpectiively back of 3 and 4. The center could pass direct to all four backs. Pop's idea was that if No. 1 took the ball and started right around the nearest end that the opposing end, tackle and back on that: side would corqe for him and that this would free (either his f gb". end or back No. 3 for a forward pass. Or if the puss was to No. 3 from the center, he would draw at least two of these three defensive mon and a running lateral pass attack follow, with one man always trailing to cover fumbles. ■, Pop had various combinations,; four of which are shown, but his tiuot attempt against W. & J. resulted in W. & J. getting the ball and scor ng 3 points, so he abandoned it. W. & .1. merely used a man-to-man basketball defense to break up the play, the defense that will have to if the lateral pass makes any rapid strides in attack.

Bush and , Cuyler have not been friendly situ e Bush benched Cuyler two months ago for failing to slide to second. I The defeat of Vic Aldridge was a blow to the Pirates, as he was regarded as a great "money pitcher.” the Yanks took great liberties with his of- ' ferings. Babe Ruth was about the only man on the team v,ho didn't hit him. Ruth went hitless, and rather disa- ' pointed the Pittsburgh fans who had expected he would hit at least one home run. o Pertinent Facts On W orld Series Gaines New- York.
