MAMAUX SCHEDULED
TO PITCH LAST GAME
AGAINST PHLLIES
Victory for Pittsburgh Today
Will Give Clarke's Team Sea-
sons Series From League
Leading Phils
ALEXANDER MAY WORK

AL Mamaux, the brilliant young twirler
of the Pirates, rejoined the team yes
terday, and Manager Clarke said this
morning that he expected to send his
sensation to the mound against the Phil
lies this afternoon, In hopes of making
a clean sweep of the series.
Mamaux has found the Phillies par
ticularly easy this season, and has reg
istered four victories against one defeat
in his seasons work against the league
leaders. A victory for the Pirates today
will give them the seasons series from
the Phils, as the count now stands IL
victories and defeats for Pittsburgh.
With a lead of but two points on
Brooklyn, Manager Moran is just a tritie
anxious about todays game and It would
not be surprising If Alexander the Great
went to the mound for the Phillies, pro-
vided Maumaux is the Pirate pitcher. 1t
is Rixey's turn to pitch, but Moran must
stop the Pirates, and believes his chances
are better with Alexander.
BY working Alexander today Moran
would send RiXey and Dcmaree in to
start the two games with the Cubs to-
morrow and could come back with Alex
ander on Tuesday. 1t was Ntoran's orig
inal intention to use Alexander in two
games against the Cubs, but the sudden
squirt of the Pirates will probably cause
him TO change his plans. TO date Pitts
burgh has been by far harder for the
Phillies than Chicago and Moran wants
TO stop the rush of Clarke's team.
