NEW YORK. 4; WASHINGTON, 3.
Hard luck, relentless in it's pursuit. is
stnl after the Senators. 1t overlook
them yesterday when victory seemed
safely slowed away in their cellars.
leaving them still in the non-winner
class. with seven defeats.
The manner in which the locals field
ed the ball pleased all OF those who at
tended the game. but that same old
fault-weakness with the willow. when
hits We're most needed-invariably crop
ped out.
Mason Got a Chance.
Young Mason. the New York State
League recruit. was sent in tto twirl
against the Yankees. and GTifith's
men threatened to send him back to the
minors from the beginning. The first
two men uncorked safeties. Later. WI
liams followed with an infield bingle.
giving New York two runs in the first
session. but the young siabman from
Schenectady had something up his
sleeve, and unloaded it on his opponents.
Not TO be outdone. the Senators did
things TO Long Ton: Hughes delivery,
and chased one run across the counting
block, IN the initial session. Ihlngs
looked particularly rosy Tor the Sena-
tors. one run had already crossed the
rubber. and a man was on second and
hit a line drive to center, which was
gathered in by Camel, who caught
Stahl or second by a block.
Cassidy Helped
Cassidy helped the good work along
by beginning the second inning with
a long swat to left field for three bases.
Drill hit TO Conroy. who attempted to
catch Cassidy at the plate. but the ball
struck the sliding youngster on the
shoulder and caromed TO the grandstand,
Drill going on to second on the play.
Kittredge drew a base on balls, ard
Mason struck out. Charlie Moran
singled TO right filling the bags. Then
Thoney hit 10 Conroy, who touched
third. forcing Kittredge out. He threw
wild to first in an attempt 10 catch
Thoney. and Drill scored, but Moran
was nabbed al the plate.
Here the Senator's run-getting stop
ped. although with any sort OF luck
they should have added several more
TALES 20 their credit. New York scored
the tying run IN the seventh inning
on BeVille's tWo-spot 10 left center, ana
singles by Conroy and Fultz The win
ming run was made in the following ses-
sion on Jimmy Williams rhree-bagger.
and Anderson's fly TO Selbach.
Senator's SPry Fielders-
Moran. Cassidy. and Selbach were
much in evidence in the field for Wash
ington. Moran made the star play OF
the day when he pulled down Beville's
line drive with one hand in the sec
ond inning. He was heartily applauded-
While Cassidy made no such phenome-
nal catch, his work afeld was clean and
fast. and he nipped several runners by
his rapid work
1t was planned 10 strengthen the team
al bat Dy placing Holman on the
bench. moving Thoney 10 center, and
playing Drill in right Drill got a hit
and a run, and had his teammates
COPIED q hit In the ninth inning would
probably have scampered over the pan
with the tying run. He led of with
hard single over second base, ana was
sacrificed TO second by Kittredge.
Hoffman was sent in TO bat in place
OF Mason. and after having two strikes
called popped measly little fly TO left
neld which was easily taken care OF by
Anderson Then Moran took up the
bat. and after futile stab at the ball
bumped IL down 20 Williams, who re
tired him at first. The game was over.
and still no additional damage had been
done 10 the Senator's percentage column.
Dryer Didn't See 1t.
Mason showed up well in the box
After the first inning he settled down
and kept hits scattered. He showed
the stuff he was made OF by his good
and effective work with men on tie
bases. and pulled himself out Of several
tight places. IN the eighth inning. after
Williams had hit 70 left and scored
on Anderson's out 20 Setback, he struck
out the next three men, but Umpire
DWyer had called 10 the bench for
another ball and had his back turned
when Camel famed at his third strike
and did not see Il; Camel gota life
on first when Stahl dropped a throw
70 head him Of. but BeNille and Hughes
fell easy victims 10 MasOns slants
Jacobsen. The Central League tW.rler
who arrived here Friday afternoon. was
on the bench watching the game yes

The Score.
