In Washington, the Senators end the year on a light note, by splitting with the A’s. Philadelphia wins the opener and the Nats take the nitecap, 8 – 3. The second game is Washington’s traditional year-end laugher, and 43-year-old coach Nick Altrock finishes in relief, one of his five appearance this season. Altrock bats in the bottom of the 8th and Wickey McAvoy, a catcher playing first for the day, comes in to throw. Altrock finally lines one of his lobs into the outfield, rambles around the bases and neglects to touch second and third base. Ump Billy Evans calls Altrock safe at home for the only homer by a Senator hit at home this season. For Altrock, it’s been 14 years since his last round-tripper. The game ends with General Peyton March, Army Chief of Staff, throwing out the last ball; he’ll toss out the first next year.
