Washington's Goose Goslin hit a go ahead homer in the third and Joe Harris added a second homer as the Senators overwhelmed the Pirates. Walter Johnson and Morrison shut down Pittsburgh with strong pitching and defense in a tense world series contest.
Goose Goslin hit a third inning homer to set the world series mark with his fifth career championship blast, surpassing Babe Ruth. Walter Johnson's baserunning miscue briefly spoiled the moment, but Joe Harris followed with his second series homer to a packed bleachers stand.
The homer fueled a tied show that matched several series records. It equaled two in one inning first achieved by the Giants in 1921 and tied the five for one club in a series, a mark Senators tied last fall after Giants and Yankees had five apiece in 1923.
Stan Harris was ruled safe at the plate in the seventh on a double steal bid with Judge. From the press box he appeared safe by a clear margin while the crowd jeered umpire Moriarity for several minutes. Harris argued briefly before the tension faded.
In the eighth inning Babe Adams, veteran hero of the 1909 title run, was sent to the mound to replace Morrison amid a Pirates victory. Ruel, a leading hitter, delivered three safe blows including a double off Adams and was hit by a pitched ball in another plate appearance. Official scorers disputed Goslin’s first inning base, crediting Arl Smith with both an error and a passed ball.
Yde started slowly as he passed Stan Harris and Goslin in the first inning but Joe Harris drove to Traynor for a double play that ended the frame.
The Washington crowd came out to see Johnson pitch and Gos lim pickle one. Stan Harris used a sharp eighth inning strategy that momentarily failed. With Ruel on third and Myer on first one out Johnson faced, Bucky chose a double play gamble, a squeeze play, but Gooch cut down Ruel with a roller as he ran.
Secretary Kellogg visited the champions room to congratulate Manager Harris on yesterday's win and posed for photographs with the manager.
Baltimore Orioles win the deciding game 5 to 4 over Louisville Colonels at Baltimore. Earnshaw and Wilkinson dominate after a tight start as Porter Brainard homer in the fourth makes the difference. Deberry lasts 1 1/3 innings, yielding eight hits.
In the GCL action Milford was upset 12 to 6 by Siebler Tailors. The Friars lost 25 to 6 to Wiedemann. Brewers edged by Church by a small margin. Meadow Gold Batters opened 0 34 to 0 loss to the Rovers, while Reading Eagles moved to first with a 19 to 0 win over the Arrows.
Hartwell Merchants easily downed the Mohawks eleven at Play's Field in Hartwell 25 to 7. Kuntz opened with a 15 yard touchdown run and Beckman and Frazer each scored on interception returns in the second quarter. A Hartwell penalty and a center rush by Bradbuck narrowly yielded the Mohawks' late scoring chance.
Missouri bruised Nebraska 9 to 6 at Columbia and now eyes another Missouri Valley Conference football crown.
Myer out hit by a batted ball in the third game and ran for Harris in the ninth of the second game. Seibold in the eighth of the third game. Ruel and Coveleskie batted for late innings. Ferguson in the seventh of the third game. Meantime, Smith ran for Kremer in the ninth of the third and for Morrison in the eighth of the fourth game.
Washington manager Stanley Harris predicted Coveleskie would clinch the 1925 World Series at Griffith Stadium. He praised Barney Johnson's heart after a leg injury and noted Goslin’s timely homer, while acknowledging Pitt’s rough seventh inning and a disputed plate play.
Armco eleven defeated Christ Church 2 0 at Armco yesterday as a late five yard drop kick by Armco quarterback Class decided the game. Both teams reached scoring distance several times but failed to convert in the final periods. Referee John Mincher Umpire Lingrel and Head Linesman Moore officiated.

Coach McLaren hunts for glue to stop a rash of fumbles that have marred the Bearcats season. Cincinnati outgained foes and drove to the goal line, but frequent fumbling spoiled progress and cost crucial moments. The defense held Georgetown passes and the line showed strength, yet the backfield could not sustain gains.
Carl Steinbicker and Andy McGrath step in for injured Otto Wenzel and Bob King as St Xavier seeks to rebound from a 55 point win and prepare for next Saturday’s clash with Wittenberg at Corcoran Field. Captain Russ Beichly aims to lead the Musketeers against a Wittenberg squad boosting Bradley and Moeller with strong kicking and line play.
