PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5. (JP)—Pitts
bprgh’s pennant victory this year is
its fifth in the twenty-five years but
it will mark only the third time that
the Pirates have battled for the
World’s championship with an Am
erican League rival.
Back in 1901, 1902 and 1903, the Pi
rates, then under the management of
Fred Clarke—who has come back to
help in this year’s triumph—domin
ated the senior circuit but it wasn’t
until the last year of this reign that
the World’s series idea took root.
In that year, the Pirates met de
feat in the first championship strug
gle at the hands of the Boston Red
Soxfi losing five out of eight games.
Six years later, in 1909, still un
der Clarke’s leadership, the Pirates
swept to the top once more and for
the last time prior to this season.
They battled that year against
Hughey Jennings’ Detroit Tigers for
the premier title and won out after
a nip and tuck fight that wTent the
limit of seven games before being
decided.
The Pirates and l Igers won on al
ternate days in that series and Babe
Adams, the only playing survivor
still in Pirate uniform, was the hero
of the National Leagues’ triumph. He
was credited with three of the four
Pirate victories.
That series, incidentally, was one
of only three which have gone the
limit of prescribed games, which at
various times has been fixed at sev
en and nine contests.
It ranks among the most keenly
contested of all championships, tho’
for closeness and spectacularly dra
matic elements it was eclipsed by
both the 1912 series, in which the
Red Sox conquered the Giants af
ter eight games that included an
eleven-inning tie, and the 1924 thril
ler, in which Washington’s first pen
nant winning team fought its way to
victory over the Giants in seven sen
sational games.
Two twelve-inning battles, fought
out before the President of the ynit
ed States and a baseball-mad national
capital; an unhill fight by the Sena
tors under the inspired leadership ot
their young pilot, Buckey Harris;
and the final triumph of Walter John
son, famous pitching ace, after two
tragic defeats—these were the high
spots of last fall’s baseball drama
which stirred the entire country as
it had never been before.
Nerve-testing as was this series:
however, it is doubtful whether the
rival placers experienced as great a
strain as those in 1912. It is recall
ed that in the eighth and final game
of that series, the players were hard
ly able to control their emotions, sc
tense and exhausting was the strug
gle. The game went to ten bitterly
fought innings before the Red Sos
gained a 3-2 decision, with a fatal
error by Fred Snodgrass, Giant out
fielder, contributing to the downfall
that was heart-breaking to the Na
tional Leaguers and their mound ace
Christy Mathewson. When it w’as
all over, the rival managers John
McGraw and Jack Stahl, declared
their men could NOT have stood
the strain of another game.
The quickest series on record was
that of 1914 when the Boston Braves,
after their sensational pennant drive,
overthrew Connie Mack’s Athletics
in four straight games. The Chicago
Cubs, conquering Detroit in 1907, and
the Giants, downing the Yankees in
1922, also hung up records of four
victories and no defeats but in each
instance a tie game prevented a clean
sweep.
Harris Up Again.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 5. (/P)
—Stanley Harris, the “boy wonder,”
has in his grasp the onDortunity to
prove himself one of the five great
est baseball managers of ail time.
In 21 years of world’s series his
tory only ?our men—far-famed for
many seasons—have captured the na
tional game”s greatest title two yeais
in succession. They were the late
Frank Chance wfith the Chicago Cubs
in 1907 and 1908, Connie Mack with
the Philadelphia Athletics in 1910
and 1911, Bill Carrigan with the Bos
ton Americans in 1915 and 1916, and
John McGraw with the New York
Giants in 1921 and 1922.
Today Harris stands with one vic
tory to his credit, the conquest of
the Giants a year ago, and another
world’s series in the offing, this time
against Pittsburgh. But regardless
of the outcome in the fc tie at hand

the youngster will see many years
of service before he attains the rec
ord of McGraw, the greatest cam
paigner. Nine times McGraw has
taken his warriors into the title fight
and has been victorious thrice.
Mack also has gained three con
quests in the baseball classic and
has lost two, one of them to Mc
Graw. The chief of the Athletics
has outwitted the Giants on two oc
casions.
Hughey Jennings, now Giant coach,
and McGraw share the record of los
ing three world’s series in succes
sion. Miller Huggins of the Yan
kees has figured in three title af
fairs and won one.
