PITTSBURG, Oct. 3. {£>)—'The
momentum that carried the Pittsburg
Pirates to victory in one of the closest
and most exciting races in National
League history, plus skill of the pitch
ing corps that performed briilliantly
over the past months with few excep
tions, will be deciding factors if Cor
sairs beats the New York Yankees in
the World series starting Wednesday
at Forbes field.
This is the opinion of Owen Donie
Bush, aggressive little pilot, who steer
ed the Pirates to the pennant in his
firsf season. There are a few critics
among the home town experts who be
lieve the Pirates “staggered” into the
pennant and that the reaction from
their hard fight will be a detriment
rather than an aid and that the Yank
ees, anyway, pack entirely too much
punch to check, but if there is any
lack of spirit and confidence in the
Pirates it isn’t -evident in the remarks
of Bush or the team mates.
NOT UNDERESTIMATED
The Yankees are rated by many
competent critics as one of the great
est teams of all time, and the outfit
that enter the series, at probable bet
ting odds of seven to five. The Pirat
es don’t underestimate the Yankees
but believe they can be stopped; “this
has been demonstrated before.” Bush
said, “Maybe we w'on’t check them all
but we will stop half or their attack
and slow them up. The best of our
pitchers Kremer, Hill, Aldridge and
Meadows as well as Miljus, who saved
the deciding game, are on edge.”
HUGE TICKET SALE
Additions to Forbes Field stands
have been increased to a capacity of
43,000 seats. More than 30,000 re
served seats are already sold.
The first two games will be played
in Pittsburg, the third, fourth and
fifth in New York on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. The sixth and seventh,
if needed will be fought out here.

SEWARD SHOCKED
Blf DEATH THREE
MEN, DROWNING
TWO MEN FROM THE U. S. S. SUR
VEYOR AND ONE FROM RE
DONDO LOSE LIVES
Tho every effort was made by Capt,
R. R. Lukens, commander of the U. S.
S. Surveyor, and by members of bis
crew, three lives were losL by drown
ing, early this morning when a light
skiff filled and sank. A truly heroic
last minute attempt to reach two of
the men, by W. H. Bowen, cost him
his life when he jumped overboard
from the Surveyor.
The dead are Mr. Bowen, age 24,
an oiler on the Surveyor, R. P. Byerly,
age 25, a seaman; and George SLavin,
age 23, from the S. S. Redondo. The
bodies have not yet been recovered.
The last of the regular ships boats
had left the local dock for the Survey
or at midnight and the boy's had
missed it, stated Capt. Lukens this
morning in describing the sad acci
dent, so Byerly, Slavin and Carl Deet
kin, the latter the only one saved, pro
cured a light skiff from one of the
halibut boats and set out in the face
of the cold strong northerly gale.
*:' -
Apparently, Slavin, the boy-from the
Redondo, had intended to bring the
skiff back after seeing the other two
on board the Surveyor.
