Mats Margin Great.

The Nationals now hold Il tremen-
dous advantage over the Pirates in
the struggle for the world champion
ship. With only one more victory
needed to achieve the highest title in
base ball. Washington's representa-
tive in the series has three more
chances TO take a game. Following
today's clash here two more decisive
contests in Pittsburgh are provided
for if necessary.
To nose out the Washington club
for base balls most coveted laurelS.
the Pittsburgh team would have 10
take three games in a row, q feat ac-
complished only "a few times in the
history of the annual series.
Washington is well fortified with
pitching material should the series be
prolonged by "a Pittsburgh victory to-
day. Neither Walter Euether nor
Tom Zachary. the Nationals left-hand
pitchers who achieved considerable
success. i'll the American League flag
campaign. has been used in the titular
contests and both are reported fit for
duty.
Alex Ferguson. who was credited
with victory in Saturdays game,
would be availa bic for use in Pitts
burGh. too. as would Win Ballou a
young right ander who performed
creditably during the regular season.
After employing Aldridge today, the
Pirates would have i'll reserve for
more games Ray kremer and John
Morrison, right handlers. and Emil
Yde, left-hander. Both kremer and
Yde were hammered when they faced
the Nationals. but Morrison pitched
superbly as relief worker. Babe
Adams. who toiled in the eighth in
ming yesterday, probably will not be
called upon to start should more
games be necessary.
Lee Meadows. who opposed Walter
Johnson in the opening game of the
series last Wednesday,, now has a
sore pitching arm and may not be able
20 appear on the slab again in the
series.
Clark Griffith announced today that
Walter Johnson will not pitch again
during the series, regardless of its eX-
tension should the Pirates win today.

Sunshine Seems Remote.

Prospects this morning were that
these pitchers would stage thelr sec
ond duel Of the series with the same
weather conditions prevailing here as
i'll Pittsburgh Thursday. Then an
overcast sky made Forbes Field
gloomy setting for the game and re-
duced the vision of the batters. Local
weather forecasts offered little hope
of sunshine this afternoon.
No changes in the batting orders
that were used yesterday We're anticl-
pated for today's game other than an
exchange of places by Joe Harris ana
Joe Judge in the Washington lineup
Because a left-hand pitcher started
on the mound for Pittsburgh yester-
day, the left hand hitting Judge was
dropped 10 fifth place and the right
hand hitting Harris to fourth. They
were likely to resume their regular
position in the order OF attack today.

The reindeer were secured
from natives ON the Kuskok-

herds totalling 5000 animals.
