Buddy Lewis, Clicking
In Exhibition, Likely
To Bolster Attack
BY JOHN B. KELLER,
star STAR Correspondent.

BOSTON, July 27-A couple of
Army Air Corps graduates were to
be shooting at one another this af-
ternoon as Mats and Red Sox opened
a three-game series with second
place in the American League free
for-all the goal.
Buddy Lewis, who few the hump
for a couple o. years, was to be
in right field for the Washington
Club, pitting his .304 career hitting
average against the usually effective
deliveries of Pitcher D. Meadows
Ferriss, the years prize rookie with
a record Of II wins against two de-
feats.
Pitching for the Mats was to be
Roger Wolff, unless his right hand
had not recovered from a severe
bruising 1t took yesterday in a train
accident. If Wolff was not ready,
Manager Os Bluege planned to
swing to Marino Pieretti for the sfab
chore.
Mats, Sox Evenly Rated.
There was little to choose between
Mats and Red Sox as they looked
to their scrap for second place.
Each recently played 13 games at
home against the West with the
Mats getting a 6-and-7 record and
the Red Sox one of 7-and-6. Vic
tory today would get the Red Sox
a tie with Washington in the run
nerup slot on a game basis, but the
Mats still would be slightly ahead in
percentage.
Washington now might be first in
the American League and first in
the hearts of the National Capital's S
blatant booers If it had some poise
and an extra pinch of batting
power, Maybe Lewis will provide
the needed blast, or at least the
spark to make the Mats fare as
they did on their last tour of the
West.
Buddy looked pretty good at bat
yesterday in the Mats exhibition at
New London, Conn, although the
Navy's submarine base nine was
the winner, IA to 8. He came up
with home run in the first inning
with one on base and made two
other hits. His hardest smash was
an out, a terrific line drive directly
to a deep-playing right fielder.
Manager Bluege had intended
using Lewis for only a few innings,
but Buddy insisted on playing the
full nine rounds. The outfield was
as hard as a billiard table, but
Buddy said the leg that had been
bothering him was not affected.
Case Also Hits Homer.
Lewis was not the only homer
hitter for the Mats. George Case
also hit for the circuit when there
were two mates aboard. In all
the Mats helped themselves to IA
wallops off Red Anderson, a former
teammate, and Junior Thompson
who used to fling right smartly for
the Cincinnati Reds.
But the submariners also made
