Local Pitchers in Fine Form.
Jack Quinn and Herb Thormahlen
twirled the local outfit to their double
victory yesterday. Both were In the
splendid form that made them 30 formi-
dable last spring. It was the FIRST good
game Jack Picus has hurled on the
Polo Grounds in quite a spell. Perhaps
the cooler weather has brought Jack
back.
He could have had a shutout in the
first game had he exerted himself.
Washington's run in the ninth was a
consolation tally, as on effort was made
to stop Rice stealing. and he scored from
second on an infield hit. Picinich. the

Thormahlen wasn't hit much harder
than Quinn in the second game, but he
had to do more pinch pitching. The
Senators constantly were getting to third
base on him, where he would let them
languish. Senators were left on third

second. And enc Of the FIVE binsles on
Jim was a fluke triple by Pipp. Milan
fell as he pursued Wallie's long ny.
Then Rice snatched It. only to drop the
ball as he fell over Milan.
The Yanks got all the breaks yester-
day. Washington left open gaps In It's

through. 1t must be admitted that
