” Excitement in Pittsburgh Intense as Teams
Gather for Opening Game Tomor’rOw —
Washington Handicapped by Injuries to
Harris, Peckinpaugh and Coveleskie
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6. (AP.)-—~
The Pittsburgh club disclosed yes-
terday that the 1111 reccdcntcd de-
mand for world's” series reserved
seat tickets had so far exceeded the
supply that $500,000 had been re-
turned on cldcis which it was illi-
possible to fill for the first. second
and sixth games scheduled here.
More than £00000 ticket applica-
tions altogether were received, five
times the seating capacity of Forbes
Field.
At tlle same time the club reveal.
ed that the. receipts for filled orders
represented approximately an equal
amount. thus giving prospect that
the 1925 battle will nlark the thil'd
successive million-dollar baseball
classic if the issue is fought out to
six or seven games.
This high total is possible because
of the big propo1'.t .on of higher
priced cats. although the capacity
of melt or i olbes iield nor Griffith
stadium in Washington is as great
as the parks 111 New York where
the first million-dollar series was
fought out in 1923.
The record. receipts of $1,093,104
Were obllectr'd for the seven-game
struggle last year between the Son-
ators and Giants. as compared with
the six-game aggregate of $1.003.-
815 for tho Giants-Yankee battle of
two years ago.
PITTSBI'llGH, Oct. 6. -— (AP).
Back in the baseball sun after a
lapse of sixteen yours, l'ittsburgh
fandom stirred itself today to 11 fev-
11 pitch of excitement as its bril-
11 t National League champion
crew of Pirates prepared to meet
the invasion of. Washington's title-
h'oldln'g forces in the first. battle of
the annual world series war tomor-
row.
The threatening confidence of this
a’lratcs' den. however. seemed to
hold no terrors for Bucky Harris
and his band of Senators. who ur-
rivcd shortly after 6 o’clock last
night and went to their quarters in
a. secluded apartment, to rest in pro.
paration for a final tuning-11p to-
day 011 Forbes lt‘icld. scene of the
first two conflicts of the serics and
also the. sixth and seventh. if hes-
tilities last that. long.
Harris lost no time in announcing
as he stepped off the. train, that
Walter Johnson would pin-h the 011- l
ening game and that. he would have
his full strength on the. field at the
start. thus belying definitely the
prospect that the Senators might. be
handicapped by disabilities which
have hit Ilarris himself; Roger
Peckinpuugh. veteran shortstop. and
Stanley L‘ovclcskic. right-handed
pitcher veteran. who is counted lip-
on to share the twirling burden with
Johnson. (‘ovelcskie will take the
mound for the second game. liar-
ris intimated. ,
Harris and Men Confident
While Harris and his men are
confident they will successfully 11c.
tom does not‘ underestimate his 1-1-
vals.
"Any team good enough to win
the National League pennant is as
good as our's. 'iiarris commented
crypticullv when asked his opinion
of the Pirates.
While their full strength will take
the. field the Senators. it was indi-
cated. may be somewhat handicap-
ped in the way of injuries. Harris
displayed a badly swollen middle
finger on his throwing hand. the re-
sult of a spll' e gush. Covcleskic has
suffered from a back strain which
may effect his stnyh' qualities,
while I‘eckinpttugh‘s ankle again
has shown signs of weakness that
forced him out of the series twice
last year.
Harris sulprlscd his listeners. in-
oidentally. with the. assertion that
he banks upon Dutch l‘tuether. sen~
soned southpaw. to share the
mound burden with Johnson and
1'o1elcskic. in spite of the general
belief that the l‘ira'. es are 'sure
death" against pmtslders.
The arrival of the. Senators and
disclosure of" their opening plans of
battle followed a brisk work-out for
the “Pirates. who. in spic and span
new uniforms, went through a
sparkling drill at ll‘orbes Field un-
