fBy Telegraph TO Ths Tribunal

Washington, April 16.-CarroIl Drown
is not the sort Of pitcher to take ad-
vantage of the weaknesses OF an OPP
ponent. If he finds that his curves
are pulling 10 a degree where the
batters cannot hit, he either lets down
or loses control. His theory Is that
a certain number of men have to be
on the lines to add interest to the
game. Working on this basis, he
practically eased the Senators into
victory in the final game OF the series
with the Yankees this afternoon. The
score was 8 to 2, and the result might
we'll have been different.
Brown issued nine bases on balls, and
no fewer than three OF these came IN
the opening inning. Grouped around
single and a force plsv. they netted one
tally. In the sixth frame he laid the
foundation for tally, which was later
registered at the plate, by passing I'd
Ainsmith. The one earned run OF the
game WAS counted in the second, when
Moeller singled. with two out, and
raced home on Fosters far-fung triple
to left centre. 3,
Brown allowed seven hits in all. in
GLIDING triples by Foster and Shanks:.
The Yankees made bold bid for VIC
tory. but they we're unable to break
through the pulling defence OF Gala
at times when opportunity perched on
the ball, inviting a base hit. only IN
the second inning did the cohorts OF
Donova.. assume a really aggressive at
titudc, and then they stopped before
real damage could be wrought.
Wallie Pipp bounced single on
Gallia's glove TO start the inning ana
arrived safely at second when the
nitcbcr's throw on Cooks attempted
sacrifice bunt was late. The batter
reached first in plenty Of time. Peck
tben laid down an Offering on the altar
and perished, Ainsmith to Williams.
Roone popped out to Mcbride. Sween-
ev then dribbled TO the box, and Gallla
made A mess Of it, Ed reaching first,
Pipp scoring and Cook reaching third.
Sweeney and Cook next worked dou-
Bile steal, the latter crossing the plate.
Those we're all the runs New
York could make, but they INDUCED
in a bit of guerilla fighting at inter
walls. These outbursts were suppressed.
In the third frame, for instance, Birdie
Cree bounced a triple off the centre
field fence, and Pipp almost duplicated
the drive to right. Unfortunately for
the last named, Danny Moeller raced
all the way back and, standing with
his back to the wall, made spectacu-
lar catch.
Noeller's effort was the outstanding
defensive feature Of the struggle. In
the fifth Brown doubled. but nothing
came of it. Cree and Boone opened
the sixth and seventh frames with hits,
but fingered and waited in vain for
relief.
Cree gave Gallia as much trouble as
all the rest Of the Yankees combined:
OF the half-dozen hits they gathered
off the Senator, Birdie got three, but
none Of them figured in the scoring OF
runs. Cree, be it said, bore off the
batting honors OF the afternoon. His
closest rivals were Moeller and Eos
ter, who made two hits apiece.
George Mcbride led in fielding Tor
the afternoon. lie had no fewer than
min, chances to display his skill, and
made the most of them. Lutte Boone
had a busy day aield. but his card was
married by a crazy throw in the sixth
inning that put Brown in hot water
for the moment
The score follows:
