.,,,hushed themselves in sole posses
-, .. first place in the American
r,srus pennant race when the Phils-
s,,rb,s Athletics proved that lightning
-, ,,-,ke twice in the same place and
s,r,.d the Boston Rcd Sox. For ten
,.-,rS. frsuSht with thrills, the Yam
~, v,ths,ood a heavy attack by the
~, team. Then. rsllying gamely in
he eleventh frame, they won by a
score Of 70 =.
Paddy Bsumsnn, utility inhelder'
,;,eb tight felder and slugger from
~. Ground VI. was again the hero Of
,lo New York day. 1t was his drive IN
.ba last frame. a fsr-hung double TO
,,,,re field. that sent Nunamsker
.earperiue over the plate with the
rurt tia: won the game.
With one out Nunsmaker had SIN
,,.a 70 right field. Ray Fisher was
,.,,-sd on strikes. but Maisel singled
:, centre. Nunamaker taking third on
"a drive. Az this juncture Bsumann
was rushed into the fray, hitting for
pyohie High. Baumsnn saw his duty
Narrower. he did It He ripped the
hall far over the head Of Clyde Milan
and took two bases on II, while the
runners before him scored easily.
II was a we'll deserved victory, won
under a heavy handicap. Fisher was
III hard. In fact. he was bombarded
bv base hits. doubles and a triple. but
h. never faltered. There was not an
inning in which the Senator'S did not
lave a. least one man on base. but
Fishers nerve was Of steel and his
control was perfect.
Moreover. his support was rock
ribbed. No fewer than eleven Senators
dec a lingering death on the paths.
Tins Is remarkable in view Of the fact
tia. q dozen hits were made off Fisher,
including three doubles and triple.
IN the last inning the home team
allied and threatened 20 prolong the
e,ne They scored one run by sharp
ally. Morgan walked and Jack Henry
lzc.a out a single 10 right sending
Morgan 20 second. Eddie Ainsmith,
running for Henry, and Morgan moved
ID on Mcbride, a sacrifice.
Morgan scored when Williams. who
bttted for Harper. grounded 20 Peck
;apaurh. Danny Moeller bid for an
extra base nit. but flied 10 Maisel, who
ns1e q nice catch.
4 Sad One for Harper.
Harry Harper has lost few games
which he well deserved 20 win, and to-
days contest must be placed in that
esssgory. In eleven long innings he al
lowed only FIVE hits. So effective was
is ths. from the fourth 10 the eleventh
frame the Yankees only broke the mo-
notony Of the walk 10 and from the
bench BE- one base on balls. jim Judge
might have died Of lonesomeness for all
the company he had at the getaway
corner. 3,
Joe Gedeon Is q mean man. He used
70 be with the Senators, but somehow
or other he thinks that he was sighted
when be was shipped around 20 the va
rioss minor leagues. Anyhow, be IS
simply burning up with a spirit OF re-
v.nge and is causing Clark Griffith
rsny pang.
Gsdeon got one Of the hits of Harper
to-day and topped that performance By
playing q slsshing. bang-up game In the
Geld. He handled no fewer than eight
chances a. second base and did the
work 80 gracefully that they all seemed
easy.
Yanks Began II.
The Yankees rang the scoring gong
eu., getting man around IN IN o
fourth inning. Hughie High singled 10
start the frame and Luther Cook laid
down q sacrifice bunt which sent Hign
70 second. Baker took hold Of a fast
ball with all his might. but Clyde Milan
had evidently sensed just such move,
as he was away back near the fence.
Even then Baker chased him stili
further into the background; but Clyde
stopped in the drive when II came
down. For while IL seemed as II the
oall would go right on out OF the lot
High moved down 20 third base on
Bakers wallop and scored when Gedeon
rsmmed single through centre.
II was not until the sixth inning that
The Senators managed 20 get runner
around the route. In that frame Eddie
Foster smashed out triple with one
hand down. Milan drove one down 20
