LOUIS, June 17.—Manager Harris may give the batting order he arranged for the Nationals yesterday a day or two more of trial. It did show a bit more punch than previous ones used during the trip, even though it aid not win. Crouse moved only from second to third base when Mostil doubled in the fifth, clinging to the middle sack to the last tecond as he feared one of the Harris boys would catch Jonnie's looper to short right. Bucky, though, could not get to the ball and when Joe saw his manager running out for a catch he stopped trying for it. As « result, the sphere fell safely within a yard of the fielder Judge started a sparkling double play when he knocked down Falk's liner in the eighth. Joe threw to Peck, getting Sheely and was back at first in time to get the return, flag- ging the batter. After hitting safely his first three times at bat, Goslin was retired in the seventh, when he grounded sharply to Sheely. The Goose came back in the ninth round to get his fourth bingle. Ruel and Rice took kindly to Lyons’ pitching, each getting three hits. One of i\l{u:h 's wallops was a two-bagger to left, Johnson fanned three of the White . twice throwing the third strike t a batter. His big league career strike out total now is 3,370.
