WINNERS DO A GOOD JOB
By WILLIAM b. HANNA.

With the Yankees making sixteen hits
at the Polo Grounds yesterday to
Washington's six, the New York peo-
pie had little to worry about. The
game went through without their hav-
ing a single uneasy moment. and they
beat the Senatorial set, 9 to 3. Usually
the Washingtonians have good deal
harder kick in their ordnance than that,
but Carl Mays had them under his
thumb so completely that there they
stayed Clark Griffith chatted amicably
with the Colonels Rupert and Huston
during the hostilities, showing once
more that the lion and the lambs, or
the lions and the lamb-whichever the
geological right of it-shall lie, or sit,
down together
The Yankees hit big Courtney stead
lily and scored in all their innings but
two. They had some luck in the way
balls bounded high and eccentrically
to Shanks and O'Rourke but hit hard
enough to win handily without that
Their fielding was excellent, Baker.
Peck and Ruth especially. Their base
running was erratic, fast and with in
tuitively good judgment at times; slow
TO take advantage Of openings at other
times. Everything considered. they
played strong, we'll rounded game
Ruth made a two Dagger in five
JltfleS up. Tie Silu no WdlhlHS. l. lie WdSI-
ington pitchers probably on instruc-
tions from higher up. always pitch to
Ruth.
O'Rourke cracked homer over the
garden wall in the fifth. with one on
base. which accounted for two of the
Washington runs. Judge doubled in
the eighth. Harris grounded to Ward
and Rice flied to Meusel. which &C
counted for the third one. Judge had
nf+ IA oct hi
because the ball took a freak bound
from the mound to Peckinpaugh, and
once with Fewster on first he was
caught mapping. Charity had Fewster
collared off first. but when Chick
busted for second Judge swung to touch
him instead of throwing to second.
There's nothing in tagging vacated
and insentient sawdust bag in cases
of this sort. A sawdust bag can't be
put out.
Chick Fewster misjudged a fly and
Wardy crossed his legs and missed a
hopper, which was all the crevices there
were in the New York defence. Few
sters double-good running by Chick
Peck's bunt and a wild pitch scored
a Yank in the first. A base on balls
to Pipp, a long fly from Ward which
moved up Pipp, fielder's choice by
O'Rourke, which eliminated Pipp, and
hits by Mays and Fewster scored a
Yank in the second
The hitting of Baker and Pipp and
a wild throw by Courtney into the
stand scored two in the third Fewster
walked with two out in the fourth.
Peck did likewise after Fewster's steal
when Joe Jove Judge nodded. Ruth
doubled like n shot past Judge and
Fewster scored.
Meusel hit safely to left centre in
the fifth inning and stretched it into
a double by as pretty dash TO the
halfway shack as anybody could ask
fbr. These Yanks aren't the slow
coaches on the bases they've been
fainted. Pipp sacrificed. and Wardy
singled Meusel home with one of those
freak bounders. Baker, Meusel, Ward
and Schang conducted a hitting foray
with more choppy bounders for three
runs in the seventh. The score:
