|base line, filling the bases. Henry spun a teaser |
|right in front of the plate and Nunamacher made a |
|quick play by grabbing the ball and forcing Judge |
|out as he was about to score. The base line circuit |
|was still playing to S. R. O. McBride rapped a |
|hopper down back of third base. Baker reached out |
|his bare hand, nabbed the ball, touched third and |
|forced Jamieson. He relayed the ball over to first |
|in time to double up McBride, and Fisher was saved |
|from a serious attack of heart failure. That was |
|only one of three double plays the Yankees staged |
|for Fisher's welfare. |

|Harry Harper, a southpaw from Hackensack, N. J., |
|pitched for Washington until the Yankees went to the|
|front in the sixth, and then he was succeeded by |
|Francesco Gallia, who hails from Mexico or |
|thereabouts. |

|The Yankees threatened damage in the first inning. |
|After Maisel had fanned, Gilhooley was safe on |
|Morgan's fumble and Magee sent him to second with a |
|single. Baker lifted a high fly to right field, and |
|after the catch Gilhooley raced to third and was |
|safe by half an inch. Gedeon fouled to first for the|
|third out. |
| |
|The Senators got their run in the second. With one |
|down, Jamieson was safe on Baker's high throw over |
|first, the runner traveling to second. Henry died at|
|first, and McBride punched a two-bagger to right |
|center, which sent Jamieson home. The Yankees tied |
|the score in the next inning, when, with two out, |
|Magee walked. Baker and Gedeon started a double |
|steal. It looked as if Gedeon would be a sure out at|
|second, but he got back to first safely. Pipp ended |
|the fun by fanning. |
| |
|In the sixth Baker singled to left, and Gedeon |
|placed a Texas leaguer back of first, which none of |
|the Senator fielders reached. Baker was late in |
|starting for second, and Jamieson
