Jack Lelivelt left here last night FOR
his home in Chicago. probably never 10
be seen in a Washington uniform again.
Lelivelt has been ont of his uniform lot
several weeks suffering with rheumatism,
and as there were no indications or I'M
provement he was given permission TO
go home.
II the other American League clubs
waive on Leliveit he will be found with
the Rochester team of the Eastern League
next season. 1t seems that ne inquired
in the deal which gives Washington Fos-
ter, Moeller and Spencer, the local club
agreeing to release Lelivelt to Rochester,
providing waivers can be secured on him.
Should waivers be refused the local ciup
pledges itself 10 pay a certain sum to
the Rochester club.
Le.ivelt is very anxious to be given
a chance at first base by the next ciub
he plays with. Il want to get out or
the outfieId." said he. because think
I've got a chance to make good at nrst
] am satisfied that as an outheloer
will not stand much chance in fast COM
pany, but as 1 think | can hit l might get
back as a first baSeman.
Carl Cashion is a much improved Pitch
Ell over what he was when he reported
here His work yesterday was nothing
pear TO be the slightest doubt that this
youngster gives great promise. Cashion
motion was free and easy yesterday, and
his control while far from what 1t Will
have TO he before he will be able to do
steady work. was much improved. His
speed was terrific and his curve ball fast
and wide. 1t really begins to look as II
Walter johnson were going to have COM
petent running mate next season. Cashion
should continue to improve. He appears
to be getting more out of his long arms
and splendid physique than he did when
he reported here.
1t does not speak we'll for the run-ge--
ting proclivities of the Nationals to be
shut out twice in one day. The team has
not been hitting at all of late. and con-
sequently has been fortunate to win any
of its games. Scott and Lange were de-
cidedly effective yesterday. though the
latter was exceedingly lucky to win his
game from Cashion.
Milan played great ball in center. He
made couple Of catches that were of the
circus variety. and which kept the Sox
score down in the second game.
In neither game was there ground
ball hit to Morgan. In the last game he
did not have chance of any kind.
1t would seem II there is any hope
of making a major league ball player out
OF Bill Cunningham that this would be
the time to play him. McAleer undoubt-
eddy believes that Cunny has chance or
he would not carry him on the team, but
he is not apt to improve by sitting on the
bench. Elberfeld is being, played out of
his position. though it is hardly to be
believed that it is the intention to de-
velop him into second baceman. 1t
surely would not make any difference
whether the absence of Elberfeld weaken
ed the team or not if Cunningham were
given a chance to improve himself.
Scott of the Sox has pitched the best
ball in the league during the past month
and he continued his good work against
the Nationals yesterday, when he shut
them out with but two hits.
Ed Walsh is enthusiastic over Cashion.
The Soxs big pitcher believes that within
the next year or SO Cashion will develop
into pitching marvel. Lock at his
size. those wonderful long arms and his
speed said Walsh. Why. he Is going
to make a wonder just as soon as he
