Take it from us, Forbes Field owns that franchise outright. Pitt sburgh's fantabulous Pirates of late have worked their way right into the pennant picture using the confines of FF as their private magic box. They lost just three games over the last homestand which embraced nearly a score of games and yesterday's double dip win was indicative of the way they've been mewing down opponents good and bad.

It has been the jack-in-the-box-type clutch hitting which has made two Pirates go. Take that second game yesterday. Ray Semproch had been sailing along on a 5-0 shutout when the pecking away began. Bob Skinner, who drove in the winning run in the first game for a 2-1 decision for Harvey Haddix, batted home the shutout breaker in the seventh. That was followed by a long line shot into the second tier by Danny Kravits to make it 5-3 in the eighth.

Before official recognition was given the Continental League a short while ago by organized baseball, some comments in the press were to the effect that the Continental would not likely start and if it did, would not likely succeed, with the present major leagues finally taking over four of its franchises in the most promising cities and lifting the American and the National to ten-club circuits.
