WASHINGTON, May 30.--Two bril-
liant pitching dpels featured the hoii-
day double header between the Yam
KEGS and the Senators here to-day.
With Rip Collins pitching unbeatable
ball in the morning, the New Workers
chalked up their fifth consecutive vic
tory. In the afternoon the shoe was
on the other foot. George Mogridge,
the left-hander Of the Senators, was
in fine fettle. Both men went right
down to the final frames without be-
ing in danger, and on each occasion
The underdog rallied in one supreme
effort The scores were 9 TO / and /
10 0.
Mogridge drank deeply of the nectar
filled cup in the afternoon. 1t was his
fret start against the Yankees. he
hurled hitlees ball for six innings and,
with the exception Of Bodie, wko
walked, not Yankee saw the lines.
In the seventh inning Babe Ruth
cracked one TO center for single. In
the ninth, McNally singled to center,
completing the total of Yankee hits
Mogridge also fieldcd sensationally.
Just once did the Yankees give
George cause for even a feeting sec
ond thought. In the ninth inning
Higgins rushed in his reserves. Few
ster was an easy out, but Roth, hitting
for Mitchell, was safe on O'Rourke'g
error. Chick Hawks ran for Roth.
McNally singled to right and it seemed
as If the steam roller was about to
lurch forward. Ruth crashed one on
dead line to right, which Brewer
caught. Pipp ended the game with a
tap to Mogridge.
Quinn Pitches Fine Ball
Jack Quinn, who opposed Mogridge,
pitched whale of @ game, for all that
the Senators made eight hits off him.
He was cool and calm under fire and
pulled out of several tough situations.
Pipp had eighteen put-outs at first base
and none of the infeld chances were
hard. However, the luck of the game
broke against the veteran.
Collins, who hurled them over for
the Yankees in the morning, looked
! like the Rip of mid-June last year. His
curve ball broke nicely, while his fast
one was really speedy.
The Yankees started their campaign
for runs in the morning in the first
inning. Peck walked and McNally flied
to left, Ruth doubled TO center, Peck
rounding third base. At this juncture
Pipp rolled a grounder to Harris and
Peck sped over the rubber with the
first tally Of the game.
The third inning marked the dawn
of a new era in Yankee baseball, for
the boys put on double steal. Nc
Nally opened the third with a blow to
right, and after Ruth had died on a
fly to left, Pipp lifted one over the in
field for clean single and McNally
took third.
The Senators waited for the usual
crashing attack, but the Yanks crossed
them up with some good leg work in
stead. Pipp broke out to steal second
and as Charity sent throw to
O'Rourke. McNally scooted home.
Collins Heads Senators
During the hrst six innings, the
Senators ade only two hits. The
first serious problem that confronted
Collins came in the eighth inning.
And in the emergency, Bob Meusel
stepped right up with a capture that
would have done credit to a Speaker.
Rice crashed the ball into right center
and Meusel, running hard, leaped and
clutched it. He threw to Peck, dou-
bling up Harris at second.
The run making in the afternoon
contest was in the hands of the Sena-
tors, and they allowed scant leeway.
One Of the constituents was luck. In
the second inning, Miller tripled to
the left field bleachers, which was not
lucky. But Shanks, pulling away from
fast one, hit the ball over the in
field. Before it stopped rolling,
Shanks was on third, with Miller over
the plate and nobody down.
The scores:
