-FOUR ERRORS ROB
WALTER JOHNSON
OF SIXTH STRAIGHT
Drop Opener, GA, But
Rally in 9th Captures
Final, Z to 4.

lP'oyeu py tnem In three successive
days, Boston winning the FIRST game,
to 4, and Washington taking the
second. to 4. There was some
wild and woolly fielding in each
game. Walter Johnson was a VIC
tim of poor work afieId in the open
ing game, and Ferguson suffered
through a muff by Pittenger and
also contributed largely to his own
defeat in the second game.
Manager Clyde Milan. of the
Griffmen, was, however. the prin-
cipal factor in the undoing of Fer.
guson. With a runner on third and
two out in the ninth inning. Milan
wet to bat in the pinch. and. with
a slashing single to right. drove in
the run which dissolved the tie and
started the rally which gave his
team three more runs and cInched
the game.
The Senators thus got away with
the series, four games to two.
Peck Again Stars.
Peckinpaugh. who had been con-
spicuous by his wonderful play at
shortstop, was again the bright par
ticular star today, his infield work
being phenomenal
Sensational one-ha nded catches
were made in left field by Menosky
and Earl Smith. the one by the
former being a foul fly in the ex-
treme corner of the lot. But the
stunt by Earl Smith - when he
speared the ball in left center, after
long run and a high jump-robbed
]. Collins of a double in the second
game. This same Smith probably
saved the game when he threw
Burns out at the plate when George
tried to score on Menosky's sharp
drive. Burns, however, never should
have been sent home, being u SLOW
runner. If Duffy had held him up
at third the bases would have been
full, with only one out, and Derrili
Pratt coming to bat and Mogriige
not going any too good at the time.
This poor work on the bases helped
the Washington southpaw quite a
bit.
Boston's Big Inning.
The Red Sox scored all their runs
against Walter johnson in the sec
ond inning of the first game. The
trouble started when, with one out,
Sam Rice made a three-base mum
of J. Collins fly in deep center. 1t
0was a square muff, too, for he was
camped under the ball. Joe Harris
followed with a single on which
.'Shauno" scored. O'Rourke bounced
one off the score board for dou-
BILE. Harris holding up at third but
scoring a moment later on Rueis

Fullerton singled, scoring ORourke'
and Johnson filled the bases by
passing Leibold. Ruel scored on
Menosky's out at first, Peckinpaugh
to Judge, and fumbles by Bluege
and Stanley Harris, on grounders
hit by Pratt and Pittenger. respec-
lively, allowed Fullerton and Lei
bold to register at the counting
station. John Collins, up for the
second time in the inning, forced
Pittenger at second for the third
out. Six runs On three hits and
three errors, and these runs were
all Duffy's men got. They made
only three widely scattered hits in
the next six inntngS
Fullerton, who was in the box
against Johnson, must have been
stunned to have so many runs hano-
ed him, for while only six of the
visitors came to bat in the first two
innings he seemed intent on hand
ing the counters back as soon as he
could. Picinich landed on him for
a double: Peck" cracked out an
other. scoring Picfnich: Johnson
was safe on PI.tenger's boot. Peck
scoring; BlueGe was passed, ming
the bases. Stanley Harris struck
out but Rice singled over second
scoring Johnson and Fullerton was
relieved by Allan Russell, who
checked the rally.
Mats Scoe in Eighth.
Singles by Goebel and Judge and
| an out at first gave the visitors an
| other run in the eighth. They had
the tying runs on the bases in the
ninth with none out. Piclnich
opened up with double after Peck
was passed, Milan went IN to run
for Picinich, and johnson eased
both runners along with sacrince.
Charity was sent to bat in place

1t was Ferguson against Mo-
gridge in the second game and the
Boston man really outpitched the
Washington star until he mussed
up his own game in the ninth
inning. .
The Senators got two easy runs

third on single to center by

Harris, who forced Judge at sec

The Red Sox opened the second
inning with a single, and in the
fourth, Menosky and Pratt, the first
two men up. singled; but Mogridge
frightened UP and prevented scoring.
In the fifth frame though, double
by O'Rouke, single by Leibold,
sacrifice fly by Menosky and a
double by Pratt gave them three
Il runs, and put them one to the good

batter up, was passed. Peck, after
