conclusion by beating the Senators by
the good round score Of 20 l TINS
afternoon. l5
tho came pronounced the judgment that
Raw Heating. who held forth as master
81 ceremonies for the New York team
was favored BY the gods Of battle,
but. on the other hand, II may be sh d
that A winning team forces its own
breaks. The Yankees have simply
swept all opposition before them. ana
since Bill Donovan decided that ne
would get better results by snulhE
his batting order around, he has won
sixteen out Of twenty games rms Is
fair enough for the NOSE captous.
Heating bodercd on the ragged edge
all through the game. lie had q lot Of
stuff on the ball. and when he coul .

helpless. Only four hits were made.
and one Of these was a fukv affair ~
Rice. the Washington pitcher who re-
Teved Doc Ayres. Rice's tap managed

where the totals would have rested.
Inclined TO Wildness.
The big right handler Of the visitors

fewer than nine bases on balls. He

The fans waited and waited for the
hic blow-ofT but il never came. and the
Senators barked and barked and barked,
but never bit. In the ninth inning they
cot their one lone run over. and thai,
Of course. was terribly inadequate.
There was nothing at all the matter

here any fault 20 be found with the
muscles and eyes that guided the

Al Walters. who is hearing out the
statements Of Ellis Hardy that he
would be sensation IN the American
League. shared the batting honors of
the afternoon with Roger Pcckin-

Frank Baker, who has recovered ms

rushing along toward the 800 class
with all speed. The Trappe Tor

and Heating got TWO bits. while Paddy

The seventh inning, IN which three runs
were scored. Hughie High and Roy
Hartzell bore each other company IN
the hitless class.
Rice Kept on Mound.
Doc Ayres and Rice were the pitch
or. who suffered under this lombard
ment OF hits and runs. Ayres was the
more fortunate, for he met his fate
more quickly. lie had TO endure the
punishment for only one and one-third
innings. while Rice had 20 take his
medicine until the end, for Griffith re-
fused 20 send another pitcher out IN
the attempt 20 redeem a lost hope.
Five hits were made of Ayres and

One Of the reasons for Heating last
ing through the game was his support.
Ray made the only error charged TO
the New York team. Roger Peckin-
naugh and Joe Gedeon performed some
clever fcats in major league baseball

safe hits. and the crowd was not bit
low IN showing its appreciation. Frank
Baker made a couple of neat stops.
Peck took care Of eight chances, while
Gedeon had only two less. Mcbride,
the captain Of the Senators, was a busy
individual. lie handled nine chances
with his customary skill.
Prepare with Big Lead.
The Yankees prepared for eventual
ties IN the second frame, and put over
a lead more than sufficient TO win the
game right then and there. Baker

and there Ayrcs was derricked and
Rice took his place. Heating singled
10 left scoring Magee and Gedeon, and
then operations were suspended for a
while.
Rice worked out his own problem un-
IN the sixth inning. when the Yankees
found the combination 10 his delivery.
Baker walked. but was forced by
Magee. who forthwith stole second and
then scored on a single by Walters.
In the seventh inning the flood gates
were opened again and three runs were
scored before order could be restored.
Paddy Baumann laced out triple 10
