Still looking unnaturally like worlds
champions. the Yankees beat the
Washington Senator'S in a ten inning
melodrama yesterday. and still lead
the league. The game was saved for
the Yanks in the second inning, when
Babe Ruth's throw from right nicked
Senator at the plate and choked
what might have been a winning run
for the Senator's. AS II was, the Yanks
won by 3 to 2, Sad Sam" Jones scor-
ing the winning run personally with a
smashing two Dagger. aided and
abetted by an out and a sacrifice fly.
Ruth's throw furnished the real kick
in the melodrama. 1t was more spec
! runs which the Babe has collected in
the course of his more or less check
cred career. Lamotte had singled and
gone to second when Mogridge got
base on balls. and II looked as though
Sad Sam" Jones had started to wab-

Colonel Jacob Rupert. president OF
the Yanks. uttered a low moan as Judge
smashed a clean hit TO right field. In
stantly Lamotte started for the plate and
there was no good reason TO believe that
he would not arrive there before the ball.
