IL johnson had been supported AZ h.
should have been the game would b.r.
ended in the regulation nine fr,na.
with the score of to against tss
Huggins men. But Eddie Ainsm;th
tne Washington catcher, and c,vd.
mlian, the centre fielder, had no revsyd
Tor the magnificent work OF Waitay
they also ignored the lamentabie con.
aition OF the fans, who had shiyered
through nine innings and wished .
quick end TO their shivers.
For 1t was SO cold under Coosan,.
oiir that frost covered Henry Fabian's
miniature vineyard in deep centre felJ
Henry himself was all a-tremble, II.
though he had one of the heavy Giant
sweaters wrapped about him az he
nltted here and there about the pres
oox In vain endeavor to keen warm
IT is possible that Eddie and Clyde
mad read somewhere that June 81 Is
the longest day of the year and wished
to celebrate the occasion by insurinr
long game.
But all Joking aside. johnson never
showed to better advantage than he did
yesterday. The smoke on his fast one
was so smoky that the odor reached
the back of the grandstand, where a
tive" baseball writer's were huddled to-
gether to avoid chills and keep Harry
stevens cash register ringing. Speed
IS weak term to apply to the balls
that Walter hurled to his pal Ainsuith
behind the plate and at which the
Tanks swung viciously after they were
half way back to the pitchers box.
Bodies Terrible Swipe
Ping Bodie in the early part Of the
game added new laurels to his reputa-
ton, for never was & more savage
swipe at a ball made than the one
Ping delivered in the fifth inning
1t was due only to brilliant stop and
fine throw to first by Ainsmith that
Bodie didn't start real trouble right
there. OF course. it will be recalled
that Ainsmith is the Washington
catcher and, therefore, the might OF
Bodies drive and the distance it trnv-
elled can be easily figured out
Every member of Murderers' Row,
with the exception of Del Pratt, hit
with the same wonderful results. The
Yankee second baseman did manage
to beat out an infield hit and also col
lected a clean-cut single to centre.
Pratt. too, scored one of the two Yam
kee runs. but when he had a real
chance to deliver a blow that would
turn the tide Del was souelched by
Johnson on straight pitches.
Slim Love twirled the first eight inn
ings for the Yanks and acquitted him
self fairly we'll when the character of
his opponent on the mound is consid
cred, but it is most necessary that q
team tally runs behind a pitched il he
is to win Mr.. Johnson, If he had hsd
his way, would not have allowed tie
Yanks to cross the plate. Slim was not
SO particular.
Senators Score in Third
The Senators scored their first run
in the third inning as result Of
doubles by Foster and Milan. They
picked up another counter in the sixth,
following a single, pass, sacrifice
and sacrifice fly. Judging from the
way Johnson was going, there didn't
appear to be a chance for the fanks,
but in the eighth inning Marsans man
aged to connect with one of Walters
speeders for single to left. Truck
Hannah hit fly over first that went
for safety, Marsans pulling up at
second.
Caldwell batted for Love and famed
after Walters had been put in to run
for Hannah. Both runners advanced
! on a wild pitch, and when Ainsmith
threw wildly to third Marsans tailed
and Walters reached third. Gilhooley
fouled to Foster, Peckinpaugh flied to
Milan, and it was all over.
Russell Succeeds Love
In the ninth Allen Russell, who had
succeeded Love on the mound. retired
the Senator'S in order. but the Yanks
in their half put across the run that
tied the score. Morgan tossed out Ba
ker, but Pratt singled to centre. fips
tapped the ball in front of the plate
and expired at first, Pratt going to
second. Ping Bodie drove fly to
Milan, which the Washington gardener
muffed, and Pratt scooted over the
plate with the tying run.
The Senators won the game in the
thirteenth. Shotton beat out an infeld
hit and was safe at second when Ba-
ker's belated throw to the keystone
sack of Fosters grounder. Judge hit
to Mogridge, who had entered the box
for the Yanks, and Shotton was forced
out at third. Milan then redeemed
himself partially for his error in the
ninth by singing to centre, scoring
Foster with the winning run.
Muddy Ruel, one of the Yankee
catchers, left the team last night IN
answer to summons to report at JET
ferson Barracks for military training.
