Duffy Lewis and Mogridgc
Play Prominent Part i'll
Defeat of the Hugmen
By Charles A. Taylor

Duffy Lewis, who once wore the
livery Of the Yankees, took q fitting
revenge yesterday for the deal that
sent him down along the Potomac
River to slavery with Al Mcbride as
his boss. Duffy waited until the his
torical ninth for his revenge and when
the harvest of his bitterness had been
reaped 1t was found that the Senator's
had defeated the Hugmen for the
fourth time in succession, the score
IN the latest upset for the Yanks be-
ing to 8 in the other fellows favor.
All Duffy Lewis did was to produce
two+bagger, the ball sailing beyond the
clutch of Babe Ruth in left. while two
Washingtonians wAo were on the b-,s
romped most merrily across the plate.
And just to rub in the defeat the more

called into action in the seventh after
Burly Shaw had been found wanting
proceeded with his left-hand. 4 wares
to quell any disturbance tie loudly
heralded home runners of our town
might raise.
The same story holds true. the
Yankees fail to hold the pace when
the big crisis comes. For three games
IN row amid the encouraging cheers
or thousand OF fans these alleged
smuggling Yanks have sped away to
What seemed safe lead only to see
thelr rivals battle through to victory
something is wrong and the lowliest
fan in the EXTREMIST corner of the
sun.lit bleachers knows it.
The game Of yesterday prodded
along duly and montonously after the
hrst inning, when the Yanks came
through with two runs and the Sen
ators with one. The Yankee tallies
were the outcome of single by\Pack-
lnhaugh and two passes and sacrifice
iiy clouted out by the dangerous Meuse!.
The Senator's run was evolved from a
single by Judge. base on balls to
Milan and inield outs on the part of
Rice and Lewis.
Then the Trouble Starts
In the third srasm the Huggers
added one more to their tally and Bob
Shawkey who was pitching his first
game of the season despite sore
arm. was nightly encouraged. Things
continued to go on swlnmingly for
Bob until the eigth, when the tide
changed. Rice, the first batter, walked
and then Chick Fewster failed 20 touch
second on a throw from Peckinpaugh
Of a grounder from the bat Of the
troublesome Lewis. Harris popped to
| Fewster
Harry Shanks. the all-round star OF
the Senators, then appeared with his
bludgeon and what he did to the bail
was shame. Far TO the right of center
did the sperhoid sail until il finally
landed for a triple, scoring Rice and
Lewis. This smash tied the score and
Bob Shawkey and everybody else be-
gan to wonder if recent history were
not to be repeated, the history por-
traying the failure Of the Yankees TO
hold a lead.
The answer came in the ninth and
after a single and a base on balls to
the credit OF the visitors Bob the Cob
passed out of the pastime aud the
overworked Carl Mays succeeded to the
inheritance Of two men on the bases
and nobody out. Samuel Rice, hero of
the day preceding, obligingly grounded
out to Pipp and then came Duffy Lewis
with his crash that turned ali things
topsy turvy, including Nick Altrock on
the coaching line.
Higgins No Inspiration
With the ball game gone, the Yam
KEGS approached the barrier in their
half of the ninth as though they con-
ceded all was lost. Miller Higgins
assumed his customary crouch on the
coaching line, but proved no inspira-
tion to the batters, who faced George
Mogridge in his new garb as Senator
George. The exYank had moved his
former associates down in most ap-
proved style since his supplanting of
Shaw as the Washington boxman. He
followed the even tenor of his way in
the ninth.
Wallie Schang popped to Harris at
second. McNally, batting for Mays,
lined to Shanls at third. and Fewster's
fly was gobbled up by O'Rourke. Thus
ended another imperfect day for the
Yankees.
Babe Ruth did not appear very prom
inently as batter, but the reason may
be found in the fact that he was walked
twice. No hits, not to mention home
runs, fell to his lot
