YANKEES IN A HAMMOCK
Johnson Swings Them to Sleep,
and They Have Nice Nap.
BALL DOESN'T BOTHER THEM
They Simply Brush 1t Away
While Senators Are Busy
Piling Up the Runs.


Washington Senators did all in their power
% Give the Yankees an opportunity to make
one of their Justly celebrated Garrison
finishes on the hilltop yesterday afternoon
hut the New York nine decided that the
company of some eight thousand rams
was not select enough to entertain IN this
thrilling manner, and refused 70 ooiise'
AS q result they were defeated by scoie
of II to 1.
But the visitors did their part They ran
| I'D a lead Of eight runs in eight innings
| confident that Hal Chase would spur MS
minions on TO noble deeds in the rusty
ninth but when the home team showed no
intention OF Garrisoning they tailed an
other brace of runs on their own benait
| and let 1t go at that
Johnson. who. by the way, has not tasted
| the bitterness OF defeat since July ~ 10Y
| ingly and tantalizingy served up MS pehu-
ers. His hypnotic spirals were oreakihs
most deliciously, and in winning his ninth
| consecutive game he allowed just six scat
| tered hits The Yankees punched coupe
| of singles, with an error, in the fourth
| frame and scored a run. Johnson immeol-
| ately put on so vicious scowl tnat chase .
men apologized profusely for their preach
! OF etiauette IN taking such liberties WIN
| the celebrated 5000 arm and promised I'd
be good. Thereafter they lifted the paii
I'D in the air so the felders could get under
| IL without much difficulty.
Before the game started Jack Quinn was
accused of having an extensive repertoire
NJ battling slants. as we'll as being excep-
tionally effective against the guests. After
fv,yaf wit
ord of ten hits and seven runs against hifh'
he was unanimously acquitted of these UNI
brageous charges and allowed to wend MS
way to a shower bath. Ray Fisher pitched
| the last five innings with some snow OF
skill, and if he had not allowed seven hits
and given two passes the Senators prop
ably would not have scored four more runs
| But four runners, on the other manu-
might have tripped bithosomely across tne
, piate had Fisher not allowed hit sew

the motions of fielding the ball perfectly
