{. WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Ath-
letics were unable to stop Washing
toms winning streak yesterday, going
down in a hard-fought battle, 20 4,
although the champions hit o
much harder than the Senators did
Morgan, Houek or Pennock. Yesterr
days victory makes seventeen In a
row for Washington.
A crowd which taxed the capacity
of the ball park greeted the Senators
in the first home game after their
triumphant tour around the West.
President Taft was on hand, also
Speaker Clark, Secretary Knox and
Vice-President Sherman, but the i'm
mense throng paid little attention to
! the statesmen.
Morgan deserved a better fate. He
was hit hard in the first inning, when
| the Senators pulled down a run but
errors behind him gave the home
team its tally in the fifth, and Mack
took Morgan out to let Lapp bat for
him in the seventh.
Groome was a puzzle until the
! seventh, when successive singles by
McInnes and Barry. Lapp's triple and
a smoking single by Lord gave the
| Athletics three runs Washington
forged ahead one count in their half,
but the Athletics tied the score in
the ninth, when Groome passed
Barry and Egan smashed the ball
over Shank's head for a three-bagger.
