Associated Press Sports Writer.

The National League needed two
sets of books to keep it's records
straight today, with the first unfin-
ished game of the 1914 season
leaving Max Lanier's five-game win
streak hanging on the hook until
some time in the week of June %.
Although Lanier was belted from
the hill in the fourth and the Phils
led, Ga, when hostilities ceased at
the end of the seventh by agree
ment to let Freddy Fitzsimmons'
crew catch a train for Cincinnati,
the game was not entered into the
books. 1t will be completed when
the Phils again visit st. Louis in
June. Until then Lanier's streak
has not been snapped and the Red
Birds still have a chance to come
up with three runs.
Sewell's Streak Recalled.
Rip Sewell's 11-game streak was
interrupted under similar circum-
stances last season. when the
blooper ball expert won seven in a
row, took part in an incomplete
game and then won four mole.
When the unfinished game was
played two months later, Pittsburgh
lost and Sewell was charged with
defeat. It's still a mystery
whether Sewell won IL straight. If
Lanier continues to win, the same
situation can arise.

Tremendous Factor in

The ladies, bless 'em, are bring
ing new era of prosperity to Wash
ington's surprising second place
Senators, who loom as the Cap
ital's best pennant contenders in
years.

Foyles by the thousands are flock
ing to Griffith Stadium nightly to
watch the Washington contingent
of overagers and Latin Americans
perform.
Since they started playing ex-
clusively after dark, except on Sun
days, the Senators have been at
tracing crowds unequaled since the
championship days of 1888. And
about 40 per cent of the fans are
feminine.
The girls aren't ignorant about
the game, either. Traditionally
women at baseball games are sup
posed to scream when a batter
lifts pop fly to the shortstop or
ask why those three guys in the
blue suits don't play harder. But
no longer, at least in these parts.
Here they can argue loud and long
on whether player should hit it
out or lay down a sacrifice bunt.
Most of the girls work all day
in Offices and welcome the chance
for outdoor entertainment at night.
Many of them started going to the
games because the boy friends, pre-
dominantly srevicemen, were fans
Of long standing. Others say the
crowds, the excitement and the
shouting reminds them of the old
days back home.

while washington pitcher now in
the livery of the Cleveland Indians,
but he'll have to hurl fine brand
of ball even to match the pitching

The Mats took the game, 3 to 2,
by virtue of a happy start against
the Tribes Allie Reynolds They
combed this orthodox finger for
five hits and all their runs and got
him of the hill before the first
inning was over.
After that the game was an unusu-
ally keen struggle between Mickey
Haefner, stocky Nat southpaw,
and Steve Gromek, the Indians ex-
ceptional relief toiler, and even as
he labored for a lost cause Gromek
certainly earned as many laurels as
the winning Haefner.
Mickey, bothered by neuritis in
his right arm, wasn't in his best
pitching form, for the twinges in
the right limb had their bad effect
on his left hurting arm. Yet he
limited the Indians to six safeties-
made by three batters-and was
shaky only in two rounds.
Haefner in Trouble Twice.

In the ninth. after Cullenbine was

Mike Guerra, first to face the re-

sacker, then for seven innings two
passes - one intentional - and two
singles were all cleaned of the big
right-hander.
He pitched eight strikeouts. Myatt
was victim three times and Ortiz
twice. The first hit of him was
made by Guerra after two were out
in the fourth and the second was
made by Ortiz after two were out in
the ninth.
The only time Nat got to Sec

the seventh. Then Kuhel drew a

Torres went out. Guerra flied out,

He made the game tough for
Haefner, but also made the victory
for Mickey much sweeter.

game for AZ minutes, but despite
the shower there were 1898 in the

let loose two wild pitches. His first
