opened the tenth with a triple. his only hit
of the struggle. and Captain Hal Chase
sent him racing home with the winning run
on a timely single.
Big Jim" Vaughan pitched sterling ball.
but II locked for some time as though he
would lose q battle which he we'll deserved
to win As matter OF fact. the Senators
got only two clean singles off his delivery.
but errors came near putting the game on
ice for the visitors. Vaughan gave three
bases on balls but had the misfortune TO
pass two men in succession and trouble re-
suited. although he seemed to have the stav-
ing power to pull out Of the hole had he
received perfect support.
After johnson had struck out In the sixth
inning Vaughan presented Milan with p
base and he went TO second when Sweeney
allowed a low pitched ball TO slip through
his nit Schaefer also walked. and then
the comedy began. Sweeney saw Milan
trying to steal third, and made a quick
throw to Austin. The ball was too high.
and Just clipped the third baseman's glove
as he Jumped for it. AS the sphere rolled
into left field Milan scored easily and

there, backing Austin up. and with long,
accurate throw caught Street at first.
when it comes to hitting the ball. He lined
out the first clean single for the Yankees in
the second inning, and followed II up with
