Vean Gregg's Record n
Game Proved Costly

Vean Gregg, former Nap south
paw, who had a good season in
1918, failed TO shine in a
Cleveland uniform the follow
ing year or as member of
the Boston Red Sox, to which
team he was traded in mid
season in 1914.
Many reasons have been ad-
vanced as to Gregg's failure
to shine, chief among which is
one that Joe Birmingham,
then manager, insisted that
Gregg pitch on cold, raw
spring day at Atlanta, Ga.
Probably the real reason is that
Gregg weakened his salary
whip at Pittsburgh on October
10, 1913, in the post-season
series between Maps and Pi-
rates. Gregg pitched the
Maps to a 10 victory in thir-
teen innings, striking out nine
teen men, fourteen Of them in
nine innings. He allowed but
five hits.
