Washington, July 4-The New York
Yankees and the Senators divided the
honors in the holiday double header
here this afternoon. With affairs OF
grave Importance TO the nation occupy
ing their time the Washington fans
found little time to celebrate the l4Oth
anniversary OF the birthday OF Ameri-
can liberty. There were fewer than
$1,000 at both games. The small at
tendance did not detract from the gem
eral excellence of the sport. The
Yankees won the morning game by
score of 10 0 after brilliant pitch
ing duel between. Bob Shswkey and
Harry Harper. The second game was
more of a smuggling match, and the
home team won by a score Of TO 4.
In dividing the honors with the Sen
atorial foe the Yankees held the Cleve-
land Indians even on the day, for the
Forest aggregation won and lost with
the Detroit Tigers. The victory in
the morning was the sixteenth in TWEEN
~ games played. Incidentally they
held the Senator'S scoreless in twenty
innings. This run famine was relieved
in the early innings of the afternoon
game, and from the way the home
team dashed around the bases 1t
seemed as If it were trying to corner
the market
Honors in extra base hitting were
pretty well divided. J. Franklin Baker
has the range now. and all fences look
alike to him. He made home run in
the second game. hitting the ball over
the right field wall, which is a mighty
WALTON indeed. The ball hit the top Of
the barrier and bounced over. Nc
Bride drove TO right field for the cir
cult although many thought that had
Hartzell made a good throw TO the
plate the blow might have been held
10 a triple. Moeller, Baker and Peckin-
paugh got doubles; Judge, Shanks and
High raped out three-baggers.
Shawkey in Rare Form.
During the last visit OF the Yankees
70 PHILADELPHIA Connie Mack said that
Bob Shawkey had improved more than
any other pitcher he had seen in many
moons. Had the astute Philadelphian
watched his former henchman twlrl the
first game he would have added at least
a chapter TO his eulogy. Bob held his
rivals TO four hits. and only one man
reached third base. This hardy ex-
plorer was Joe Judge, the first base
man. Joe trlpled IN the second inning,
and only one man was down at the
time. Jamison struck out, and after
Henry had been passed as dangerous,
Mcbride ended the frame by rappng
q sharp grounder to Baker, who threw
him out at first.
Harry Harper. the Hackensack
southpaw, opposed Shawkey, and he
was almost as effective. He parcelled
out seven hits, but so cunning was he
in handling matters when anything was
at issue that the fans had visions OF
extra innings He met his Waterloo
in the final frame, however.
Paddy Baumann, replacing the in
jured Gilhoo,ey, shot a single 20 right
field, but was forced out at second
base, Shanks 20 Foster, on a grounder
by Hughie High. High went 70 second
base on a wild pitch. and travelled TO
third or Peckinpaugh's out. Mcbride 20
Judge. Wallie Pip dribbled wee
little bit of a roller along 20 Foster,
and il counted as q hit when Judge
was a bit slow in covering first base.
High scored with the only run Of the
game.
