DETROIT, Mich. Aug. 26-One of
the most encouraging features OF the
work of the Nationals since they
started their swing around the cir
cult has been the work OF Ray Nor
gan at third base
In his work in practice on the home
grounds he looked rather fast to the
fans. but II was not until he was
assigned his present position at third
that the Danville recruit hit his real
stride. he has improved with each
succeeding dCy and yesterday was
the best since he came into the league,
justifying in the fullest measure all
the good things Scout kahoe told the
owners when he first located the
player.
Next to "Donie" Bush, Morgan is
probably the smallest man on the
circuit. AS in stature, Morgan reminds
one OF the Detroit shortstop in his
fielding. He has way of coming in
at top speed at balls hit straight at
him, scooping them up on the run
thereby saving so much time that he
can lob the sphere across the diamond
where q man who waits is hurried in
his throw. But when he has to get
a fast runner and momentarily FUN
bles, Morgan is capable of whistIing
the ball at Schaefer in a way that
MS "OIh lOOh especially
liant.
Yesterday was Morgan's best day with
the bat, although in the other games
he has come through ct the proper
time with neat sacrifice hits that have
been big help to the mer on the
bases.
Cashion Handicapped.
Why a pitcher so young in major
league experience as is Cashion should
be deprived of the expert advice and
guidance Of so capable a catcher as
Charley Street has never been ex-
planned
1t is conceded that Cashion's worst
weakness Is his lack of control, as he
has curves and speed galore, and II is
Just the sort Of catcher as Street who
is needed to get the best work out of
the Carolinian.
Henry, of course. is promising. but
aptitude of Street. Had Alnsmith or
Henry been used to receive the we'll
placed shoots and speed of Johnson,
leaving Street to support Cashion, or
had Street been worked twice yesterday,
Il night have been two for Washington
instead OF one each.
For some unknown reason Clarence
Walker is a far more finished fielder
abroad than on the home grounds At
National Park Walker has the greatest
trouble in getting back on balls hit
behind him, and in coming in he hardly
ever arrives at the ball until 1t Is al
most TO the ground.
Since getting away from home. how
ever, Walker looks more like a veteran,
is fielding eXcellently, and receiving
complimentary notices at every stop.
While comparatively quiet at National
Park. Schaafer's antics on the field
willie away, keeps the crowds in good
hurnr at every stop. He is playing
such finished game himself that they
have few chances to kid him. and when
ever he gets a hit he turns to the stands
and has some real f'In.
Roth teams were guests AT the min
strels and enjoyed the well-aimed hC-
nor handed olt by the Honey Rcy.
Some Of the audience warted SChaefer
TO get behind the fo"tlights and do Il
little turn. but the German modestly
bowed his refusal.
Cleveland is tie next stop fo- the
Nationals.
