However, Pate did that little thing last week and did it in a most taaatkrfi:! fashion. On Tjnraday he nut only stopnrd the Washington batters hut his two-haar blow brought over the winning run. Then the following day he stepped in after Sammy Gray faltered and put an end to ahe impending devastation of the Yankee sluggers and made it f mwldr Tor the A’s to cop their first doukieheadrr with the New Yoriar* th» season.
