Final Came to

Jones Is Hit Hard in First
Inning, While Rookie
Hurler Yields But 5 Hits

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Nearly 15, 900
fans, including President B. B. johnson
| of the American League, were on hand
to witness the final game Of the season
in the national capitol this afternoon.
1t was not colorfui contest by any
means, although one calculated to on
thuse the home patrons greatly. En-
thusiasm Is rather hard to arouse when
matter Is cut and dried before it
comes up for discussion. However, the
sight of the home team crushing the
champions called for cheers on numer-
Gus occasions and, after all, ball
game is always q ball game. Washing
ton won by score Of 6 to 1.
Sam Jones was on the mound for
the Yankees and ended his season as
he started it--by being defeated. Jones
pitched the first game Of the season
for the Hugmen on this same field and
was trounced in decisive fashion. On
that occasion, however, his defense was
went down. He had no such fault this
afternoon, and the Senators wallopcd
the head off him in the first inning,
punching five Of their hits and five Of
their runs in the first inning. In the
last eight frames the Senators got five
hits and single run.
Hurting against the Yankees was
husky youth named Yarmouth, who
left-handed the young men he faced in
capable style. The Yankees got to him
for five hits and single run. In the
fifth inning Yarmouth famed Ruth
with the bases filled and retired Pipp
on ar easy fly to judge. He was good
right through the game and looks as
1n val fn al
He hailed from the Little Rock club,
Of the Southern Association.
A good time was had and enjoyed in
the first inning, especially by the chill
dren. The Yankees were set down in
order, but the Senators smote Jones
with might and main. Judge was the
first to swing, and shot wallop against
the right field fence for two bases.
Stannie Harris was next in line, and
his line single sent Judge over the
platter. On the hit and run Rice
grounded to Ward, but Harris reached
second. Goslin was not in the mood to
pass the soft picking, and he scored
Harris with a single. 1t began to look
as if the Senators would never get out.
Brewer drew a pass for the waver-
ing Jones, and Lapan, the COLT catcher
splashed single off the glove of Du-
gan and the bases were packed tight.
Lamotte was not to be denied either,
and his single sent Brewer and Lapan
over after Peck's pass had forced home
Goslin. Yarmouth was set down on
strikes, and Judge, up for the second
time walked. Harris floated long fly
to right center.
Whatever Yarmouth was offering in
the line of hooks and straight ones
had the Yankee batters spiked pretty
we'll, for all they accomplished in the
frat three innings was pass to Dea-
con Scott. The most effective stroke
by the Hugmen was a long fly to deep
center field by Hofmann, and Sam Rice
. loped back to collar the ball. In the
fourth inning the Hugmen got their
first hit, drive to the right field fence
by Walter G. PiBp, she hero Of the
when Brewer fumbled and crossed the
plate when Long Bob Meusel came
through in the pinch. Holman had
been passed, and reached third on
Weusel's wallop, but Ward flied to
Rice.
In the seventh inning the Senators
got run. With one out, Goslin got a
hit to Mcmillan, and Brewer singled
to right. Lapan singled to right, scor-
ing Goslin, but Ruth, who had replaced
Pipp on first base, intercepted Smiths
throw to the plate, and threw to Scott,
heading off Brewer. The game ended
without further incident of note.
