Jake Rup- pert, president of the Yankees, sadly watched his ball club descend to sixth place on the Polo Grounds yesterday, the lowly position the club held in the winter of 1914-1915, when Ruppert and Capt. Huston relieved Frank Far- rell and Big Bill Devery of the wor- ries attached to owning the Yankees. Lucky old Cap Huston! He is some- where in France, near a man’s war, and missed the dismal sight. Two games were kicked off to the ‘Washingtons yesterday, and they lasted from lunch time until it was so dark that Umpire Dick Nallin couldn’t see the whites of the play- ers’ eyes. The Polo Grounds tossers were just passing the ninth inning of the second game when the score board showed that the Flatbush combat had been halted by darkness, but Nallin kept them at it until Washington reached a verdict in the eleventh. The Yankees were subdued in the first game by a score of 4 to 1, over the regulation route, though in the second they held out an hour longer. Shocker fell in the eleventh, pierced by a volley of Senatorial base hits, the score being 6 to 3. In order to permit Washington to rise into fifth place the Yankees had to lose eighteen out of their last twenty-one games. So after three vears of hopes, anticipations, exper- iments and the expenditure of $200,- 000 the new Yanks are back to where they started in 1915, back to the days of Ed Sweeney, Marty McHale, Ray | Keating, King Cole, Lute Boone and 3 dia e Mabel Trask, ch m (Cox).. .22 Time—2:04%, 2:01%.
