The washingtons cxcelled the New
Yorks yesterday in ginger. in the knack
OF doing the right thing at the right
time and In winning ball games. Through
superiority In the last named particular
they went TO the extent OF taking two
from the New Yorks. The first they won
2 to 0, and after a lull In the competi-
zion they set about winning another. The
score of the second was to 3. Any
team that thinks 1t can come along here
and shut out the New Yorls twice II.

Joe Engel was generous In the second
