The assault of the Yankees at the
Polo Grounds yesterday was SO vicious
that there could be bat one result, and
that was an to / victory over the
noundering Senators Waiter johnson,
once king of them all, tried in vain to
check the Hugmen. The slashing sim
gle, the dolefal double and the healthy
homer sang oat with such frequency,
that Johnson was forced TO retire in
the seventh inning after the Yankees
had scored eight runs.
Dugan, Ruth and Scott slammed out
doubles, which FASTENED Johnson's
exit. but il was soaring homer by the
indispensable Waliy Pipp that took the
heart out of the speed bali artist. Pipp
projected his homer into the right
field stands in the sixth inning with
two runners aboard Johnson retired
the next batter, but made his exit to
let Manager Milan bat for him in the
next inning. Erickson pitched the last
two innings.
Meanwhile Carl Mays was cunning
~ grazing the knees of the Washing
ton batsmen with his underhand ball
ard with remarkable results He al
lowed nine hits, but was invincibie in
the pinches. The sole Washington run
was scored in the sixth, as the result
of pass q single and an infield out.
That was the Senators only chance to
score because of CARTS effectiveness.
Twice the visitors punched two hits in
one inning, only TO be turned back
without a score.
Yankees Full of Confidence
The whole Yankee team aided and
abetted Carl in accomplishing the
downfall OF the Washington crew. The
infelders played a dashing, irresistible
and confident game, while the garden
ers never let ball escape them. All
the Yankees were ball hawks yesterday,
scooping up everything and throwing
accurately. Also in their actions could
be noticed extreme confidence. They
played as if they couldn't lose and as
though they knew they were due to
climb back into the lead.
The first inning was an Indication of
what was to come. Witt walked and
Dugan hit the left-feld fence for dou-
bic. Witt scored on wild pitch, while
Dugan advanced to third. johnson put
on plenty of steam with Ruth at bat
and the Babe famed. After Pipp had
walked Schaug scored Dugan with an
infeld single.
The boys were, content with this lead
until the fifth when Babe started them

upon recovering the bali. In this same
inning Witt inserted the inevitable
bunt and Dugan also upset the works
by bunting. Ruth forced Witt, but
Pipp came through with his devastat-
ing homer, scoring Dugan and Ruth.
The Senators tally in the sixth was
the result of pass to Brewer, Peckin-
paugh's single to right and Lamotte's
infeld out
Third Baseman Lamotte of the Sena-
tors couldn't see how Whitley Witt beat
out bunt along the third base foul
line in the sixth. The Washington
player was playing close in, was up on
his toes and made perfect play, but
Witt was safe. That made it two for
Whitley as ne beat one out in the third.
