Rain caused a postponement of to day's game, but Harry Harper will probably get his chanco tomorrow against Ray Fisher or Bob Shawkey. Manager Griffith Is chafing a little about having to rest, as he thinks his boys need all tho batting practice they can geU That legion of sixteen thousand which passed through the turnstile for the ojjener was awarded eleven inning's of eimon pure baseball which was - positively absorbing from the minute Clyde Milan bunted a homo run into the right field , bleachers until Danny Moeiler, running for Chorllo Jaraleson, in the elventh Inning, ca pered across the goal with the run that gave Washington a 3 to 3 ver dict. Two of the best pitchers in the American loop labored on the hill and rare examples of brainy twirling were seen. Caldwell has a mixed delivery and change of speed that will glvo any club in the league much trouble ere September 30 and his twirling wna outshone only by the superb speed of our own Walter Johnson. Sheriff Al Smith threw in the first ball at 3:35 o'clock after the multi tude had cheered Homo Run Baker, Leo Magee, Captain Pecklnpaugh, and other New York favorite, and tho Kansas Zephyr as well as George McBrldo and Joe Judge, the latter a very popular young man In these parts, wore also accorded a warm welcome from the throats of the Man hattan multitude. The actual winning of the gamo which filled Clark Griffith's cup of happiness to overflowing can be told in tho first, . seventh, and eleventh Innings. Uutsldo of these periods, tho gamo resolved Itself Into the speedy retirement of each side as they came up in succession. The hearts of the Urlfrmen wore first llchtened by that sterling batsman. Clyde Milan, who was the third batter to approacn mo piaie, no spanned tno pill where no fielder could climb Into the stands for It, and ho made the cir cuit without molestation. There was only occaslpnal tiring up until the seventh, when -the battle as sumed a serious attitude for the homo club. McUrlde two-based, was sacri ficed by Johnson, and tallied as tho result of an adult single orr.the hickory furniture of Raymond Carvllle Morgan. The two runs mado the visitors hold their heads high unto the multitude un til the Yankees got Walter in hot water In their half of tho Inning and evened up the count. Ullhooloy singled past McBrlde Ma geo beat out a hit to Morgan, as Judge tolled to cover first base, and Ullhoolcy reached the keystone on the play. Ba tter's nicked drive to center scored the right fielder, and Magee reached third. On Gedeon's sacrifice fty to Mllnn, Ma gee tied tho score, and after that John son settled down to rctlro tho side. It looked as If the game would be settled In favor of Washington In tho tenth, when Morgan onrt Foster worked me nit ana run. I ne second baseman, however, was run down between third ana home on Milan's roller to i'tpp, and Foster was marooned. Tho precarious situation was roneveu in tne eioventn. when Chat lie Jamleson caressed the ball for one bag, and tho fleet-footed "Danny Moeiler was summoned to run for htm. A fielder's choice failed at second, and Kay Morgan's slnglo promoted Moeiler to the desired point and the game was won. meaning that ho has been called but couldn't come. Tho Maryland agriculturist. J. Frank lin Baker, on whom the Yankees nro placing no end of dependence to guide them through the 1916 campaign, ap pears to bo quite up to tho task set out for him. Tho Trappo farmer Is Just ono year late starting tho 1915 season, but the way he waded Into the ball on his four occasions at tho bat bids trouble for tho twlrlers of this circuit. He hasn't gone back an iota as far as his hitting Is concerned. Besides tho two singles of yesterdav ho sent tho sphere hurling Into far pastures where they wero caught by Milan and Mor gan, respectively. The glatl tidings of tho inaujjiiral.
