SENATOR'S DEFEAT
YANKEES, 6 TO 5
Champs Dropped Back To
Third Place; Krakauskas
Gets First Win Of Season

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-REJoe
Krakauskas, the wild iefthander
who hadn't won a game all season,
got a victory that meant some
thing today as he pitched the Wash
ington Senators through a 6 to 5
squeeze over the New York Yam
KEGS.
The setback for the world cham
pions, their, third in II games,
kicked them back into third place
as a result of .Detroit's Z to z
win over the pace-making Cleve-
land Indians.
Both the Yanks and Senators
made 10 hits, but the difference
was largely. that Washington's all
came in the first five frames while
Steve Sundra was struggling on
the mound for New York.
Krakauskas was in frequent. al.
most constant, trouble, but he was
tight in the clutches and twice
kept the Yanks from scoring after
they had loaded the bases. 2
