MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1924. World Results By Leased Wire SENATORS SECOND BATTLE WON (N NINTH) gl BY SHORTSTOP le Peckinpaugh Doubles And Judge Scores Winning Tally. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—Battling with an indomitable courage that carried them to their first American league pennant, Washington's Sena- tors yesterday turned the table on the New York Giants, and won the second game of the 1924 world's series and put themselves back in the thick of one of the most stirring struggles ever staged for baseball's greatest honors. In a flashing finish that was equally as spectacular as the climax Saturday opening tussle, and twice as thrilling to another capacity home crowd of 35,000, Roger Peck- inpaugh, veteran Washington short- stop, lifted hifself to heroic heights by driving across the winning run |’ in the ninth after the Giants had knocked Zachary, southpaw star, from the box and tied the score with two tallies in thefr part of the final inning. .The final score was 4 to 3, the same margin by which the first game was decided, and last night two of the “‘f'ghtin'est clubs that ever met for the championship launched a desperate attack that, as suddenly as it flared up, was checked by Fred Marberry relief twirler who rose heroically to the occasion by TOM ZACHARY Copyright bY Harris & Ewing, Left handed pitching star who worked eight of the nine innings against the Giants in the Sunday same. striking out Jackson on three pitch. ed balls; with Wilson resting on sec- ond with a run that would have put the McGraw. clan into the lead. Thus, Marbérry, who gained credit for the victory, although’ he pitched only to one batsman, and Pack:n- paugh, whose smashing single drove over Judge with the winning tally In the ninth, where another extra in- ning battle seemed imminent, shared in the glory of Washington's world’s series triumph with Harris and Gos- lin, whose mighty bats put the Sen- ators into a commanding lead. The American league champions, who yesterday seemed more unnerv- ed by the fuss and ceremony of the ,| opening than did the Giants as a re- suit of the scandal involving them, played with sparkling dash and spirit under Harris, whose 4 namic ty and all-around liance stood out as one of the highest spots of the entire game. It was a game that Imposed to even greater extent the evenness with which the rivals are matched. the keenn with which both are seeking the 1924 diamond title. Sat- urday the experience of the Giants four-time champions, and their su- perior steadiness under fire carried them through, but Sunday they met thelr match in smartness, speed and attacking power. . Washington lost no opportunity Sunday, there was no cracking in the pinch and in the end, the club's never-say-die spirit, in- spired by Harris, pulled it through on top. , The whole game Siinday afternoon Was surrounded by an atmosphere d'ametrically opposite of that in the opening game.

Then, too the strain of the pre-serles bribery scandal that shrouded the Giants and charged the world’s series: atmosphere with sus. picion and rumor was absent. "The game wi the thing Sunday—the crowd realized it, the players knew it —and it seemed at night that the rest of the series would be fought out with the playing issues dominat- ing all else. Sunday, the “master mind,” the tactics of McGraw, veteran Giant chieftain, failed in his attempt to make it two straight from the Sen- ators. Having baffled Washington's heavy artillery of left-handed hitte: in the first game with Art Nehf, veteran Giant southpaw, McGraw relied. on his second portside star, Bentley, to keep the big guns si- lenced. But this strategy went awry and the proof of it came in the first inning, when, with two out, Sam Rice singled and “Goose” Goslin, the team's cleanup slugger, came through with a crashing home run into the bleachers in right center, giving the Senators a lead that the Giants never could overcome. Bentley settled down after that and for the next seven innings he and Zachary waged @ due! that was brilliantly close. Harris’ home run, a shot that landed in the tempora: left field bleachers, and a single by Rice in the fifth, were the only hits In this seven inning span off Bent+ ley, while Za ry allowed but two safe blows and a run in the seventh that resulted from a pass to Kelly, sterday’s | Scores Coast League.

Washington, under the inspired leadership of its brilllant young pilot, “Bucky” Harris, seemed headed ir- resistibly toward victory Sunday un- til that ninth inning, and its pulse gripping drama. Behind Zachary who had outpitched his southpaw rival Jack Bentley, after a start, the Senators, on the strength of a home run by Goslin in the first inning with one on, and another circuit blow by Harris in the fifth, entered the final inning with a 3 to 1 lead. But here, with triumph in grasp, Zachary, whose slow curves had baffled the Giants and held them to one run and only four hits in eight innings, weakened, and the National league champions, quick to ke advantage of their opportunity, The hat for earlyefall.

This piece of defensive strategy, which seemed good at the time with the Senators well in the lead, might have been costly had the Giants done more damage than they did.in the ‘inth, But it was so typical of an exhibition, revolving around Harris, that scintillated from start fo fin- ish. Three rattling double plays figured in the defense that held the Giants at bay. The first of these came in the opening inning and pulled Zach- ary out of the worst hole, he faced until the ninth. Lindstrom and Frisch, the frst two batters to face him, drove out solid singles and, with one out, the Giants filled the bases on Kelly's grounder to Harris, which the Washington pilot, in his only mistake of the day threw wide to second in an effort to force Frisch. Meusel, however, brought the rally to an abrupt end when he hit sharp- ly to Bleuge and a double killing fol- lowed, via Harris and Judge.
