Those pesky Yanks made their get
away yesterday by grabbing the final
game Of the series on the home patch. 2

Nationals TO spank Mr.. WarhOps offer
ings to safe spots when hits were
needed.
Gray. although hit freely. twirled bet
ter ball than the score would indicate.
AS usual, a rank error cropped out at
a critical stage. paving the way for a
New York tally.
Everybody thought the hoodoo had been
buried when the Nationals broke their
losing streak Monday but evidently the
appointed time TO regain a lot OF lost
ground has not arrived. The New York
series closed almost as badly as the
games in Boston. and the Nationals viii
never be able 20 climb higher in the
standing until they are able TO hit when
their pitchers are going well or back
the twirlers up with the right kind Of
support.
Gray Catches I'm Mapping.
Cray pulled of a stunt yesterday the
like sof which has not been seen on the
home grounds this season. that of pluck
ing three baserunners of the sacks when
said runners had taken what they sup
posed were safe leads. Bob Unglaub also
came across with a quick-thinking, well
executed play in the eighth. which choked

WARRIOR drove a hot grounder twelve feet

scooped up the ball with one hand and
caught Mitchell al second with a snappy
throw 10 Mcbride.
These we're the only features from a
local standpoint
You've got to hand It to little Jack War
hop. He allowed but FIVE scattered hits
and was effective In the pinches, as, for ex-
ample. the eighth and ninth innings. The
Nationals had men on second in both these
chapters; once there was nobody out A
safe hit would have tied the score, but
the hits never came.
The visitors opened up on Gray in the
first inning for a run. Hemphill persisted
on a fly TO Elberfeld. Wolter drew a
base on balls. Laporte dubbed the ball
over Milan's head, and Wolter crossed
the plate. A lightning relay, Milan 10
Mcbride to Elberfeld, caught Laporte
at third. but 1t was a case of locking the
stable door after the horse had been
stolen. for one run had counted.
The Nationals only tally came in the
second inning, when Sehaefer. first up,
drew four bad ones. Unglaub, earess-
ing his old black bat. which he had
laid away few days ago. hoping for a
change of luck. leaned up against one

the next three men were easy outs.

The Yankees tucked away the game
beyond recall in the sixth.

an awkward bound Just before reaching
Elberfeld, at least so it looked from the
press box. The scorers decided that the

this error proved fatal. HemphiI flied

warhop with the ball as the latter
passed him on the base path. He missed
and lost his balance so that IL was inn
possible TO have nailed Warhop at Sec

three balls against Chase. Gray fed
the Yankee leader a SLOW ball" Good
night, Mr.. slow ball. There was a loud
crack Of the bat and the pellet landed In
deep left. WARRIOR scampering home on
the clout. Fast work by LeliYelt, Nc
Bride. and Elberfeld got Chase at third,
but the damage had already been done.
and this run won the game for the
Highland clan.
Lelivelt blasted open Washington S
eighth with a smoking two-bagger to
right, but Elberfeld, Killifer, and Nc
Bride all died on easy pop flies
The ninth gave promise of good things
when Schaefer led of with a single. and
