WASHINGTON GAINS TWO
 VICTORIES OVER MACKlNEN
Athletics Are Humbled For Second Successive Time Yankees Turn Out Victory Over Red Sox-Giants and Phlies Spit-Brayes Beat Robins-Prates Chalk Up Eighth Victory in Row Trimming Reds

New York, Sept. H9 --- Two straight victories for Washington over Philadelphia seem to make it certain that Washington and Pitts burgh will play in the world series.
 The Senators are snugly lodged at the pinnacle of the American league by a margin of five and one half games and the Athletics have lost eight straight.
 The veteran spitballer Stanley Coveleskie. started for the Senators who won g 10 ,, the Athletics start cd to pound Covey in the seventh and eighth innings and forced him to retire in favor of Zachary in the last frame.
 The Mackmen will have a recess for the next two days and on satur- day they are due at the Yankee stadium.
 While Babe Ruth continued to wear sack cloth the Yankees turn cd out a 4 to ? victory over the Red Sox. Bob Meusel contributed his 27th home run of the year with one one. It is likely that Ruth will be in the lineup on Saturday. But his s5000 fine stands.
 The Giants came to life after dropping the first game of a double header to the Phillies to and romped away with the concluding number by 24 to 9. In the second game there were five Philadelphia pitchers and 30 safe blows by the Giants, including three home runs. The Phillies also hung up three homers.
 The Boston Braves frightened their grasp on sixth place by coming out on the long end of to ? score with the Robins.
 Pittsburgh is making the National league race a runaway affair. The Pirates chalked up their eighth vic tory In a row by trimming the Reds to 2 and now lead the pack by eight and one half games,

SILVER CITY COPS
 NOSE OUT LOCALS
Cabelus Caught On Third in Ninth lnnins.- Tying Run

| After nine hectic innings of base ball on St, Marys field yesterday aft ornoon. the Meriden police baseball team emerged victor over the lo- cal lu coats by an to 10 score. securing revenge for their defeat of last week and evening up the an- nual two game series between the two teams The local coppers made q valiant effort in the final frame to grab the game out of the fire and came within run of tying the score, but Meriden pulled themselves together and squelched the locals hopes.
 Up until the last inning, tho local batters could do nothing with the of- terings of Kline, the little Meriutn twirlor who kept the hits well scat tered and frightened up in the pinchos so that hits weren't to be had when they were needed. The last half of the ninth was different, for the locals succeeded in colect- ing four binglci and three runs be- fore being retired.
 Politis, first up in inc inning. walloped the ball into deep center for double and scored a minute later when Blanchette clouted | double to right. Cabelus, was safe on an error and went to third when Neley singled 10 left. Blanchette scoring, Veley took second on the play. Paddy O'Mara was then sent Tn 10 pinch hit for Carroll. Cabelus evidently became over anxious on third base, for in spite of the fact that there were none out. he insist cd on running down the baseline with Kline's pitch to O'Mara with the result that McGrath snapped the ball to Kurcon who tagged CabcIus a mile off the bag. second later Mara Walloped single 10 right that scored Veley and we Id have scored Cahelus with the tying run if he hadn't been caught mapping.
 Both teams scored three runs in | the opening frame. Meriden took the | lead in the third when Kline scored. Another run was added to their lead in the fifth and in the sixth they scored two. The last half of the sixth saw New Britain tieing the score, four men crossing the plate. Blan- chette started the fireworks with a three bagger, scoring on a single by Cabelus. Veley then hit and after Carroll struck out, Palmer drew a base on balls. Feeney was safe on an error and Huber ended the hitting for the frame with a single.
 The eighth inning saw Meriden taking a three run lead, and the ninth increasing it to four which proved to be enough to win.
 Annual Banquet.
 The. annual banquet of the depart ment was held after the game in the Elks club, and 1t proved to be one of the most successful ever held by the local police. Entertainment was provided by vaudeville artists from the Capitol. Chief William c. Hart of the police department, Mayor Paoneesa, Senator Edward Hall.
