other shutout against the local firm.
He won, 6 to 0, for his seventeenth
victory Of the campaign as against
10 defeats.
1t was the third time Gomez has
faced the Mats since they beat him
on the second day of the season and
1t was Lefty's third win. He held the

In short Washington now has made

the Yankees lead in the so-called
