Road Win Lifts Pittsburgh to 1-0 Lead in World Series
The Pittsburgh Industrials faced a tough opponent in Philadelphia Quakers right fielder Art Cook, but did just enough to pull out a win in Game 1 of the World Series, which they now lead 1-0. The Industrials won 5-4 at Penn's Landing Park, despite the efforts of Cook, who was 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 and was named player of the game.

Had Pepper Wirtz not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Wirtz hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Industrials.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Pittsburgh manager . "It's usually not just one thing."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow in Philadelphia. The scheduled starters for the game are Chuck Munson for Pittsburgh and Clay Easton for Philadelphia.
