Special Despatch to Tue suS.


WASHINGTON, Sept bob Shawkey
found the heat here too much for him
to-day, else he would have gained shut
out victory over the Senator's AS
was, he just got through In front by q
score OF to O. fie weakened In the
ninth and 1t was in this inning that Crit
fth's near tail end outfit flared up and
came within a run Of knotting the count
The Senator's had the tielng run on third
and the winning counter on first when
the game ended.
Until the ninth Shawkey moved the
Senators down as regularly as CLOCK
ticks. He allowed only three hits In
eight innings and finished them with
only twenty-six batsmen having raced
him. Not one of the Senators had a
closeup of second until their final turn
with the stick. BY that time the heat
which had bothered Shawkey so much In
the seventh that he had to take some
time out affected him and that came
near putting the Griffmen in the run
ming.
Lief Erickson, who has been easy for
the Yanks all season, ran true to form
again to-day. He worked two innings
and started the third. He was yanked
New Workers. During his short stay the
Yankees got all the runs they were able
to gather in the afternoon.
zachary Replaces Erickson.
Erickson was followed by Jezebel Te-
cumseh Zachary and the strangely
named youth held the Yanks scoreless.
They hit him with more or less freedom,
but the youngster was backed up by
some sensational support If he had
started the game the Yanks might not
have gained an even break in the two
game series.
Be that as 1t may, the Yanks went to
work with will on Erickson. Fewster
got on as a starter when Lief got him
self tangled In a few knots trying TO
field an easy bounder He died stealing.
Peck doubled on top of this and was
raped home as Baker contributed n
single. Baker stole and Ward walked.
Pratt forced Ward and Erickson threw
out Lewis to hold the Yapks to lone
run for the session.
Erickson stocked the bases In the sec
ond through walks to Ruel and Peck
and Shawkey's scratch hit, but escaped
unscathed. He was as generous as a
prohibitionist with advice in the third.
Ward and Pratt reached him for singles
and when Rice contributed a wild throw
TO third on Pratt's poke It put Del on
second and Ward on third. They scored
on Lewis's rap to centre.
Squeeze Play Fails.
That let Erickson call it day. Bodie
| sacrificed on Zachary and Ruel beat out
a bunt. Lewis going to third. Shawkey
gave the high sign for squeeze and
when 1t went awry, Lewis had as much
chance Of scoring as Bill Hohenzollern
has of touring Belgium. After DUFFY
was erased Shawkey famed.
Peck doubled In the fourth. following
Fewsters infield out. and Baker lined to

Rice made a great throw to nip Peck
at the plate. Ruel opened the sixth
with scratch hit, and after Shawkey
popped to Judge Fewster singled to
centre. sending Ruel to third. Peck
slammed a hot one at Ellerbe. The re-
cruit made nice stop and a fine peg
to the plate to get Ruel. Baker then
slashed what looked to be sure sin

| stop and forced Peck. From there on
the Yanks went out in order.
Judge Singles I'm First.

Menosky got on In the second when
Shawkey hit him
Leonard singled to start the fourth
for the Senators, but, like Judge and
Menosky. never looked over second.
Zachary singled in the sixth and after
he was caught of first by the vigilant
Ruel. Judge and Leonard were easy for
Shawkey's hackers.
Judge raped safely to centre in the
ninth with one out and was forced by
Leonard. Milan walked. Rice singled
to right and Ellerbe raped to right.
