ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 192 PRICE FIVE CE TS PIRATES TIE SERIES WITH VICTORY SCORE BY INNINGS | TOMORROW'S GAME SETTLES THE SERIES Ray Kremer Pitches Brilliant Game, Holding Senators to Six Hits MOORE HOMER’ WINS Winner Tomerrow Will Be World Champions—Each Team Has Three Games Forbes Field, Pittsburg, Oct, 13— (®#)—Eddie Moore’s home run and Ray Kremer’s brilliant pitching gave the Pirates their second straight vic- tory over the Senators today, 3 to 2, tieing the world series games each. PIRATES WERE CONF:D The warring factions the 1925 world series, Pittsburgh and Washington, came back to their original battle ground tod ta up the sixth stage of their struggle for premier baseball honors. Washington, checked suddenly ye terday in its onward advance by the furious attack of the Pirates, the field, nevertheless, with an vantage of three games to two needing only a triumph this after- noon to gain its second straight | championship. i ad- and PIRATES SAID TO HAVE BOUGHT COAST PLAYERS ‘orbes Field, Pittsburgh. Oct. .—(P)-—-The Pittsburgh Pirates |{ were understood today to have |} closed a deal with San Francisco of the Pacific. Coast league for the purchase of Hal Rhyne, star hortstop, and Paul Waner, out- der, at a reporte? price of $100,000 and three players to be delivered later. Manager McKechnie admitted the deal was pending but would |; not confirm it definitely. i Rhyne and Waner have been two of the most eagerly sought minor league stars this season, The Pirates, on the other hand,’ stirred to their best fighting pitch for the first time {1 the series, were confident they were in high tide of victory and headed toward triumphs today and tomorrow, both of which must be realized if they are to take the main prize. Weather Bright and Clear The setting for the sixth skirmish was bright and clear after three days of bad weather and almost con- tinuous downpour, although this de-' luge left the unprotected portions of the field soggy. The infield, how- ever, was dry and in good condition since it had been covered by tar- paulins in the absénce of the com- batants in Washington. Early indications were that the opponents in Saturday’s tussle, Ray Kremer of the Pirates and’ Alex) Ferguson of the Senators, would re- new their righthanded twirling duel, although there were also a chancej that “Bucky” Harris would call on his veteran southpaw, Dutch Rue- ther, who has not yet seen any ser- vice'in the box. Despite their confidence, the odds and precedent are against the Pi- rates. Not only must they win two more in a row to take the series, but if they do so will be the first time in the history of championship play that this has been done with the issue confined to the best four out of seven contests. f” Play By Play | + % First Inning Rice up.

Most of the factory hands and building workmen, who were out yes- terday, returned to their tasks this morning and the police felt little fear of a recurrence of yesterday's rioting in which two persons were killed and some 30 wounded.
