Yesterday in Philadelphia. the

set to stop their winning streak of
five straight. Just a little more
power in the clutch would have
given them a clean sweep of the
series.
Even so, Harris bat bearers MADE
13 hits as against only for the
winners, but they did not use them
to advantage as Cotton" Pippen
was tight in the clutch.
Newsome Stops Chances.
Yet it looked as if the Griffs
would tie the score or take the lead
in the eighth when Mickey Vernon
and Pinch-hitter Estalella hit sin

with two dazzling stops to throttle
the Senators.
