37,746 fans watched an exciting game at Yankee Stadium.  The Washington
Nationals topped the New York-AL Yankees by the slimmest of margins, 7 to
6.

Bob Feller(7-10) was credited with the win in a less than impressive
performance.  He gave up 6 runs, 10 hits and 4 walks in 7 innings.  New
York-AL made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed
runs across.  

Feller got help from Carl Erskine who was credited with his 5th save.  Morrie
Martin(2-2) was the loser.  He allowed 8 hits and 4 walks in 5 and 1/3
innings.  

Robert Baker was clearly disappointed after the game.  'It was a manager's
nightmare out there', he said, 'We should have had this one.'
