The Fatal Error. Horce Lisenbee pitched perfect bat for the Red Sox against the Yankees, but it was the former Washington twirler's error which gave the Yankees their win. With the score tied at one all, Lisenher, after having fanned seven of the New Yorkers, made the error which accounted for the winning run by Joe McCarthy's crew. Babe Ruth failed to connect for so much as a hit to-day, but Lisenbee walked him regularly and as a result the Bam- bino acted a tally.
Although A Simmons made a home run for the Athletics, his tenni went down to defeat before the Senatore. The Mackinan outbit the Senators, but they played loose baseball. Two errors added to the downfall of the Washington Club.
Babe Herman drove out a home run for the Dodgers 'to-day, but Uncle Robbie's boys are still in the dolrums. They were easy picking for the hard-hitting and fight-play ing Braves.
