YANKEES HOME AND WIN
Score Six Runs to None for the
Washington Nine.
CALDWELL IN TOP FORM
Holds Senators to Five Hits, and
Fails to Give a Base
on Balls.

Fresh from the triumphs and disasters
OF their last Western trip. the Yankees ar
rived h3me and shut out the Washington
Senators by a score Of TO on the hilltop
yesterday afternoon. The game was
perfectly ladyke affair viewed from every
angle. No undue hoisterousness on the part
OF five thousand silent fans" who clus-
tered In the grandstand marred the pro-
ceeGings. while In the field the visitors
were mute and the Yankees muter.
Applause was meted out in a scattering
fashion, the spectators refraining from vio-
lent acclamations, probably out % respect
for the many injured members Of the New
York nine Ii was a glorious afternoon for
the pastime and everybody had good time.
except that the contest dragged listlessly
and. although covering short space Of
time was lacking In stirring incidents.
Raw Caldwell. whom Walter Blair has
come out openly and declared Will be the
sensation Ct the league next year. fuzzy

Against Ray were pitted Groome and
Buck Becker. the semi professional
p;tcher OF the national capital. who ter
rorized over the big leaguers on his hrst
,vo app.arances short while ago but
whose curves seem now TO have lost their
sting. Groomes demise came after the
second inning. when two triples and a
double, netting two runs, sounded the
clarion call Of nothing on the ball to Nc
Aleers attentive ears. The angular Becker
succeeded 10 the responsibilities Of the
mound In the third. but the Yankees
stepped into his whirling southpaw spirsls
TO coed purpose whenever they felt the
need Of run.
