Third Baseman Bill Johnson's seventh-inning bobble of a pop fly cost the New York Yankees a 5-to-4 defeat by the Washington Senators here Thursday night after the Yankees had produced a four-run rally off Walter Maslerson to tie the score in the seventh inning. Joe Page, who replaced Rookie Vic Raschi in the seventh, was dealt his seventh defeat after Johnson fumbled Eddie Yost's pop fly starting Washington's seventh. Buddy Lewis sacrificed and Yost moved to third on a wild pitch after Tom Mc-Bride fanned. Mickey Vernon walked but Stan Spence's single to center scored Yost before Jerry Priddy popped to Johnson, Durward Knowles of Nassau, Bahama islands, sails his Gem II to the finish line winning the international star-class championship at Los Angeles.

Laurel and the Billings Merchants clash Friday night in the fourth series match slated for 8 o'clock under the arc lights. The Merchants handed the Past its first loss, 14 to 5, in the tourney opener Tuesday. The Miners advance to play the loser of Friday's game on Saturday in a match that will drop the second team from the double-elimination affair.

The sixth, and perhaps final game, will be played at 2:30 p.m. Sunday with a seventh tilt, if necessary, slated for 8 p.m. It was a smooth-working and confident 'crew of Miners that took the field Thursday to grab an early lead that was at no time seriously threatened. Roundup was charged with but one error in contrast to the six committed in their initial series appearance. Pitcher Ed Willis, chased from the mound with a six-hit barrage after three and a third innings Wednesday, found his mark early in Thursday's ball came to fan nine batters, give up five hits and allow but five walks.

Jim Rogers struck out six but was weak in the fielding department and frequently showed lack of control. Rogers hit two batters with pitched balls. Bill (Wink) Charlton treated the light crowd of slightly more than 500 customers to the second home run of the series. Coming to bat in the last of the sixth with no one on, the Roundup shortstop teed off on Rogers for a 350-foot homer that cleared the left field fence with plenty of room to spare. Mickey Warner got life when Harley Robinson dropped an infield fly in the third inning.

The Roundup right fielder was knocked out temporarily when the ball struck him in the back of the head as he stole second. Bob Zupan replaced Warner as the base runner. Ed Sharer slammed out a single to move Zupan to third and Kozeliski was sent in as a courtesy runner for the Miner third sacker who was nursing a knee injured in a league game last week. Rogers gave up his first walk of the game to WillisTo" load the bases and Zupan raced in on a passed ball. Jim Wier grounded out to score Kozeliski and Rogers bore down on the next two batters to put out the fire.

The Legionnaires struck back in the top of the fifth when Jack Per-rigo raced in on Paine's hit to deep center field. The Billings left fielder had been walked, sacrificed to second and stole third to move into scoring position.
