Yankee baseball hopes, so low a
day or 30. ago, were riding high
again this morning riding on the
crest OF a Yankee victory and
Washington defeat.
The Yankees won handily yester-
day behind the excellent pitching of
Herbie Pennock. Washington lost
at q moment when ii seemed they
were safely home with heir first
pennant fast in the clutches Of a
populace.
Now the Yankees are a single
game behind the Harrismen, with
three games left to play. Another
victory for New York, another defeat
for Washington, and the race win be
tied.
Alex Ferguson was the boy who
took the Washington measure yes
terday. The victim was Walter
johnson. The rampant lied SQS
met their stefnest test when they
faced the Washington ace. Harris
today has no enc so strong TO send

and Quinn In reserve.

Washington loses, the race win be
tied. II both clubs win, the
Yankees win still have two games
in which to make up that scant
deficit which now separates them

frenzy of struggle which opens to-
day. Brooklyn meets Boston, the
