His b l ing Moore home with him, did a surprise to the Nationals as it wa Coveleskic had underestimated Cuyler, shown traces of nervousness—had strength. . With Moore on second and one out and first base opc baseball, it was a grave mistake for the pitcher to let Cuy two balls and no strikes on him. V have been walked without advancing work Cuyler, even if it resulted in a The Nationals did not realize Cuy- | ler's driving power because of his| previous failure to get going. Cove- leskie laid the ball over, and Cuyler drove it into the stand. That will| give him a lot of courage and con- fidence in_the remaining games, He | is always dangerous. There were few spectacular flelding plays and but two really tense mo- ments. Aldridge deserves an im- mense amount of credit for his care- ful pitching in the fifth inning, when Washington_had the bases full and none out. He made both Sam Rice and Stanley Harris hit to the in- field, forcing runners at the plate. Then Goslin' went out to first base. It was a great bit of pitching. Again in the ninth Aldridge showed his skill and careful study when he re. tired the Natfonals after the bases had been filled with none out, allow- | ing but one run to score. Spitter Hampered Peck. Coveleskie himself pitched careful, | skillful ball. He started off with ex- cellent control and kept it up through- out the game. His spitter worked beautifully. It is, however, a freak | of base ball that the two errors made | by Peckinpaugh were probably the | vesult of that same effective spitter. | T don't know for certain, but it looked as If Peck made the errors by catch- ing the ball on its wet side and was handlcapped in handling it. A spitter often causes nfield errors This second game w a closely fought one. To watch the maneuvers and try to call the turn, which we often did, by the way, was very in- | teresting to me.

Of the smart plays I noticed one ex- ceptionally good one was made by Stanley Harris, though it did not come in a critical moment. In play- ing Grantham in the seventh inning Harris anticipated that he would hit| close to first base and moved over jus n time to field the ball. It was nice thinking. | In the ninth ining the Pirate infield made a move that struck me as t judgment. They did what we cuil “Bezdek" with a two-run lead and the bases full. They pulled the infield in with Veach at the bat. A hit through the infleld in that situafion might have been fatal. It cume out all t, It so happened, and the big| crowd was happy. From now on you may expect tight, close serles. The Pirates are getting up momentum and when the speed gets on the bases you will see something move. I sincerely hope that the injury to Bluege will not be serious. With him out the Nationals would be handicap- d. PeAmong. the players who made bril- lant flelding pl were Wright, Grantham, Judge and Barnhart. (Copyright. 1925.)
