Gregg _gnd Ogden to Be Given Chance : Pirates Will Face Real Test Next Week RESERVE HURLERS TO SEE SERVICE AGAINST RED SOX May Share Box Duty With Johnson Tomorrow. Covey Faces Hose Today—Judge’s Hitting Promi- nent in Double Defeat of Hub Crew. BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON, July 3—Sweeping success in the double-header that augurated the series here with the Red Sox having strengthencd the hold of the Nationals on first place, they are well prepared to increase their winning percentage before the set of games is concluded, according to Manager Stanley Harris. He is confident that both Vean Gregg, the elderly southpaw, and Warren Ogden are quit fit for mound duty, and one of the ers, possibly both, will share with Walter John- son tomorrow the pitching burden in the Independence day dual bill.

The Red Sox got men on the run- ways in each of the first five inning: but did not make any serious scoring threats until the fifth. Then Ruffing doubled and Flagstead singled. Pro- thro's walk jammed the sacks, Boone’s bounder to Zack resulted in a double play that erased Ruffing at the plate and the batter at first base. Vache was intentionally passed, again loading the sacks. The strategy proved good, for the right-hand hitting Todt rolled to Harris. Griffs Lose the Lead. But in the seventh some free hitting by the Red Sox and welrd fielding by the left side of the Nationals' Inner defense cost the champs the Ruffing began the frame with third hit of the day—a double to right. Flagstead's single moved the pitcher to the far corner, but when Judi made a fine catch of Prothro’s lew | liner and stepped on first to double Flagstead It seemed Zach agaln would escape unscathed. But Boone's single to left tallied Ruffing_and Vache's Texas leaguer | chased Tke to third. Todt’s two-bagger down the rightfield line put Boone across, but Vache was held to the far corner. the slab, but Manager Fohl ccuntered by sending Carlyle to bat instead of Rogell. Roy lifted a pop to Peck territory, but the shortstop permitted Bluege to come down from third base for a try at the ball. It fell for a single that counted Vache and Todt. Marberry then walked Lee, but Hev- ing lofted to McNeely. The Nationals came right back in the elghth to knot the score. Rice slashed a single past Lee, and after Goslin filed to Carlyle stole second. Judge looped a double to short right that scored Rice, but both Bluege and Peck rolled out. The Red Sox were practically help- less after the seventh. two of thei pinch batters failing to produce in the tenth after Joe Harris' homer had put the champs in front. Judge Keeps It Up. The Natfonals broke into the run column early in the second scrap of the day. They were retired in order in the first frame, but Goslin started the second with a double to left and sauntered home as Judge clouted to the eame territory for two bases. Bluege's bunted single put Judge at third, from where he counted as Ruel was thrown out after Peck had pop- ped to Picinich. A pair of Nationals’ singles were off- wet by a Red Sox double play in the third, and scoring opportunities were wasted in the next two innings. The Red Sox also had runners on if the first four innings, due to a couple of hits and four passes, but got no- where until the fifth. Then Ruether's shin was hurt by Picinich’s hard grounder and it so af- fected the pitcher’s stride that he became ineffective after two out, and the Red Sox grabbed a tally. Flag- stead doubled, Prothro strolled and Boone singled Ira home. Goslin, though, ended the rally with a great cateh of Vache's fly to deep left center. Two More for Champs. Another palr of markers was regis- tered by the champs in the sixth. Judge singled, only to be forced out ‘when Bluege bunted, but Peck singled Ossie to the far cormer and Ruel's one-baser through the box cashed Bluege and put Peck at third. After McNeely drove Rajah home with a single, Bucky Harris lifted to Boone. There was more National tallying in the seventh.

In the first inning of the initial en- counter Buck Harris ran far to his left to grab Boore’s hot grounder and throw for a force play on the slug- gish Prothro. Vache got a hand from the fans when he climbed the bank back of left field and leaped against the fence for a one-hand catch of Severeid’'s liner in the third round. In the fifth, Severeid was the victim of another fine catch, Boone racing to deep right for a one-hand grab of Hank's liner. After purposely passing Vache to fill the bases with two out in the fifth, Zach developed a wild streak and Todt gained a three-and-one count. Then Jez tightened, heaved a strike and Todt slapped the pext pitch to Harris for a soft play. Ruffiing seemed to be sound asleep in the sixth session. The Goose was within 10 yards of the plate before the pitcher let the ball go.

The ball cleared the high fence well to the center-field side of the clock that tops the barrier be- hind the middle of left field. In the seventh Judge made a fine catch of Prothro’s low liner and dash- ed to first before Flagstead could re- turn to that sack. After doubling to drive in the tying score in the eighth, Judge gave way to Pinch-runner Lei- bold and Joe Harris finished the game at the initial corner. Bucky Harris got Ruether out of some trouble in the opening round of the second game by grabbing Vache's liner and racing to second to double Flagstead. A triple play was narrowly missed by the Red Sox in the third inning. With McNeely on second base and Buck Harris on first, Lee leaped high to spear Rice's liner, stepped on sec- ond to double McNeely and threw Just too late to get Harris off first. Prothro was charged with a double error in the fourth when he fumbled Ruether's grounder, then threw wild- |1y past Todt, permitting the batter to reach second.

TEAM THAT HAS LOST ONLY ONE GAME IN 14 IN GOVERNMENT LEAGUE PLAY GIANTS IN NEW YORK IN SERIES OF FIVE GAMES Impending Clash Between National League Leaders Recalls Similar Meeting a Few Years Back, When Pittsburgh Club Cracked. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, July 3—Pittsburgh’s real test in_the stirring race for N the National League pennant comes next week, when the Pirate journey East again and hook up immediately with the Giants i another “crucial series.” If the Smoky City boys should “blow the series.” as they have done so many times in the past when they had a grand first, there would be an awful roar out of the old homs The trip which is about to be, recalls a similar one of some fe years back. The owner of the Pittsburgh club was so confident that his team would win the championship that he begun enlarging the seatin capacity of the park. The players themselves were so confident that they were going to win that they held a celebration in Chicago, where they played just before starting East. It turned out that the celebration was a bit premature. Nevertheless it lasted all the way {from Chicago to Boston, and contin ued, without much interruption, in New | York City, where the Pirates spcceed | £d tn losing the entire serfes and, inci dentally, the pennant.
