BY J. ED GRILLO.

fsaN ElSler. a young man VIII. III
several occasions in his major league
career. has caused the upset of oppos-
ing teams, was on the mound for the
New Yorks yesterday. and because Of
his rather remarkable prowess the Ma
tionals for the first time in some days
were shut out. The score at the end
of the ninth inning was 4 to O.
Opposed TO the willy Fisher was the
inexperienced Cashion a lad who. just
out of his teens has because of his
wonderful natural ability, broken into
the major leagues There was no way
for Cashion to win his game unless
il had been his good fortune to shut
out the HiShlanders for nine innings
and then had had a lucky break in one
of the extra rounds. Fisher could not
be hit. His speed. control and a most
deceptive spit bail. which he bluffed
with now and then. made him almoS;
inyincible. There was only one inning
in which the locals looked to have a
chance, and that was in the eighth.
when two base hits, one by CaShion
and another by Milan. followed each
other after one man was out. But 1t
was at this stage that Fisher buckled
down TO his real form and took care
of the two following batters. retiring
them without allowing any one TO 'ad
vance. Just how hopeless was the Ma
tionals' cause is best shown when the
fact is stated that not a single one of
their number reached third base. and
only two got as far as second
Fisher allowed but five hits, and
three OF these came after two hands
were out. He also gave but one base
on balls and was never in trouble
until the eighth, when two of the five
hits made off him We're punched.
Against such pitching. Cashion. a green
hand, hardly had chance. Being a
new hand at the game his lack of
control got him into lot of trouble.
he not only walked FIVE men, but he
was in a hole on most every enc
that faced him, while an error gave
the visitors chance to score a couple
OF runs in the very first inning, which
placed him under a great disadvantage.
But with all that Cashion looked to
q pitcher WHO has grand chance TO
make good. He needs lot of experience,
to be sure, but. excepting few occasions,
he was not hit hard, and gave indications
of being pitcher far above the ordinary.
There was no fault to find with Cash
ions support, barring that first inning,
when poor throw by Conroy got him
In bad. After that his teammates did
splendid work behind him. There was,
however. not a single miSplay behind
Fisher. and several times the ball was hit
hard. but il was the batters misfortune
to aim il right at one OF the waiting
fielders
CashioI>s lack OF control got him into
trouble in the very first inning. He walk
ed Wolter 10 start with, and the latter
took third when Hemphih hit into right
for a base Gessler made a fair throw
to third 70 stop Wolter, but the ball took
poor bound 10 Conroy, and Hemphill
tried for second. Conroys throw TO
prevent his advance was wide and VOL
ter scored. while Hemphll took third
Cashion then struck out Chase. but in
pitching to Cree he made wild pitch,
and Hemphiil scored. Then he famed
Cree. Knight hit 10 Conroy. who threw
his man out at first. and the inning was
over.
The Nationals did not have a look-in
in the first. but Conroy got single in
the second after two hands We're out but
Cunningham left him. The Highlanders
did not score again until the fourth.
when Hartzell hit over the right field
wall, his first of two home runs which
he got during the contest.
1t looked as if the Nationals might
score in the last half of this inning. when
Schaefer led off with hit. but Walker
and Gessler struck out and Mcbride
popped up an easy fly for knight. For
time thereafter Cashion pitched splen-
did ball. though in the eighth Wo!ter
hit for three bases with none on, but
was nailed at the plate when Hemphill
hit 10 Mcbride. who. in his usual artistic
manner, threw Wolter out In the last
half OF this inning Cashion hit safely
after Street had been retired and the
hopes of the fans went skyward when
Milan followed with hit. but Schaefer,
who had been particularly successful
y eviously. hit foul which Sweeney
caught. and. 10 make matters worse I.eli-
welt. who was sent in TO bat for Walker.
sent a gTounder 10 Chase and the inning
was over.
With two out in the ninth HartzeIl hit
line drive 10 left center which netted
him his second home run OF the game
and incidentally brought the visitors total
up TO four.
Fisher pitched just five balls In the
final inning 10 Mcbride, Conroy and Gun
ningham, and they AL went out on easy
chances. The score tells the rest of the
