9,325 fans watched an exciting game at Griffith Stadium. The Washington

Senators put 6 runs on the scoreboard in the 8th inning and topped the New

York Yankees by the slimmest of margins, 6 to 5.



New York lost it in the 8th inning when Washington did all their damage when

they tallied 6 runs on 5 hits. The key at-bat was by Sam Mele who came

through for the home fans when he laced a base-knock which was good for two

runs. New York had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.



Mickey Harris(5-5) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 3 innings.

Harris was helped out by Sandy Consuegra who recorded his 6th save. Joe

Ostrowski(5-2) suffered the loss in relief.



'We just made a lot of mistakes, mostly mental,' Casey Stengel said. 'It's

bad enough when the other team beats you, but when you start beating

yourselves, that's really bad.'
