REDSKINS GIVE BATTLE TO PITTSBURG PIRATES

Hub's Team at Fighting Pitch Owing to Loss of Last Sunday's Giants' Game

The spectacular Pittsburgh Pirates, headed by Warren Heller, U. of Pitt's All-American halfback and the latest sensation of the National Football League, will be the next opponents of the Boston Redskins who were nosed out in their initial home game at Fenway Park by the individual brilliance of Harry Newman of the New York Giants.

Lone Star Dietz has shaken up his first team lineup for the coming tussle with several of his erstwhile regulars being relegates to reserve roles. Cliff Battles, great ground-gaining halfback, Hank McPhail, fullback, and Pete Bausch, center, are the only regulars who are certain to answer the opening whistle against the pirates. Steve Hokuf, the crackerjack quarterback from Nebraska, who has been laid up with injuries, will be back in the starting backfield. Gail O'Brien, Steve Sinko, Marne Intrieri, Flavio Tosi and Ernie Concannon, who played bangup football when sent into the fray, are almost certain to be promoted to the first team line.
