New York, July 31. The New York Yankees scored again when they met their closcat rivals, the Washington Senators, to-day; hitting up 13 rans to which the Senators replied with nine. Following on their victory on Sunday, this consolidates the Yankees' posi- tion as leaders of the American League.
There were no games in the Na- tional League to-day, and Reuter sends the two following results:

HARD PRESSED
BY DURHAM
WELL BEHIND ON
FIRST INNINGS
London, July 31. The West Indies were given a hock in a two-day match with Durham, the Minor Countles team. finding themselves 100 runs in'ar- roara on the first innings.
Durham balted especially well, only Valentine being able to make any impression in the West Indies attack, He took 5 for 73, but it could not prevent the "Minors" from compiling 256.
The visitors went about their task of beating this in a very un- confident manner, and thanks chiefly to some smart bowling on the part of Woodhouse, who cap- tured G for 78, were sent back for 140.
The West Indies followed on and at the close had scored 29 for the loss of three wickets. This was probably their most unimpressive display since the start of the tour.
