Not since 1914 has a world series ended in four games. but they got one tie. Only the most faithful among the Pirate supporters held | to out hope for an eventual National League triumph today. To} capture the series the Buccaneers must win four straight games from a club they have not been able to stop in three tries. | Pirate Fans Predict Win Today Optimistic Pittsburgh fans insisted that the Pirates would prolong the} struggle beyond its minimum length by winning today.

Meadows, the other bespectacled Pirate pitcher, was forced from the game yesterday under a Yankee severe hitting attack, which grew from a small beginning to propor- tions beyond his control, but he! pitched great ball between bad in-| nings. No Pirate pitcher has start-| ed and finished a game against the Yankees in the series. Manager Miller Huggins was un-| certain. today whether he could call] on Wilcy Moore to throw his famous | “sinker” at the visitors or send Waite Hoyt, who won the first game with some help from Moore. Pirates Couldn't Hit | The Pirates, defeated 8 to 1 in| @ game played before 60,695 persons and marked by Babe Ruth’s first home run of the series, could not hit Pennock. | They reached the southpaw for fense showing of the week, The clever Pennock, whose appearance in the series was made doubtful by an injury to a knee the day before it started, turned back the first 22 forsairs at bat. He retired a run- ner in the eighth before Captain Traynor singled for the first blot on his record. Barnhardt followed with & doubjs to count the only run. Lloyd Waner hit a rather weak drive into left for the other safety in the ninth. Pennock was given spectacular support by his fellow Yankees, Du- gan, Lazzeri, and Koenig converting possible hits into putouts. | Meadows Guessed Wrong =| Lee Meadows, in the meantime,| was not quite matching his oppon- ent’s efforts but was giving a cred- itable performance. He gave up two runs in the first, but they were not altogether his fault as one of the balls, scored as a hit, might have been handled. The six runs in the; eighth, three of them riding home| on Babe Ruth’s terrific home run smash, were made possible, however, by the Pirate pitcher throwing the) the wrong base.

Gehrig drove both runners home with a long triple which he thought was a home run.

Came the seventh, when Meadows paved the way for the six runs the Yankees were glad to get but did not need. Lazzeri started the ball | rolling with a stinging single. Dugan; bunted to Meadows, who threw to second. The ball reached the base behind the flying Tony. With two on and only two runs in hand, Manager Huggins called} on the reserves and sent Cedric Durst in to bat for Jack Grabowski. Durst rolled to Rhyne. — Pennock aiso rolled to Rhyne and the toss to the plate was too late to catch Laz- zeri, If Dugan had been retired at first this would have been three out at first. Cvengros Called In The gates were now open and Meadows was soon out. Coombs singled and Koenig doubled, Dugan and Pennock running home and leav- ing two om bases, Mike Cvengros was summoned for the second time in two days to attempt the rescue work and get his world series thrills at first hand. The little southpaw found a less serious situation on its face than he met Thursday when he relieved Aldridge. Then the bases were full. Yesterday he found only two base runners awaiting him. Babe Ruth was at bat, but not for long. The home run hitter crashed into one of Cvengros’ curves and there was no doubt, as bat met ball, that the big Babe had driven out his first home run of the 1927 world series, The ball left the bat label- ed “home run.” It came to rest in the deep recesses of the right field bleachers.

Although Ohio State’s showing last Saturday stamped if as a po- tential threat in tbe conference scramble, the Buckeyes were primed for a hard fight with their annual nemesis, Iowa, at Iowa City. Coach Ingwerson of the Hawkeyes was wor- ried over the punting duel that in- variably starts Ohio State’s assault, but his squad dent. Both elevens were in excellent shape. Indiana Expected to Win Pat Page and his Indiana squad, with a victory over the University of Kentucky already on the shelf, ex- pected to measure Coach Stagg’s Maroons. Neither Indiana nor Chi- cago has won a conference game since 1925. With a team comprised of letter-| men, shifty, fast and ready to snatch opportune breaks, Purdue faced Harvard at Cambridge. Their ace, “Cotton” Wilcox, was out of the lineup through injury. Another intersectional affair was Northwestern’s game at Evanston with the University of Utah. The Utes, champions of the Rocky Moun- tain conference in 1926, brought a veteran lineup.
