SHANKS AGAIN THE STAR
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Johnny Kings Boston Braves tailend
National Leaguers during the season Of
1911, paid q visit TO the concrete coliseum
yesterday and proved the easiest kind of
picking. to /.
Big Jay Carl Cashion was the mighty
stumbling block. The Carolina curver
worked five innings and yielded but one
solitary hit Only two members Of the
bean brigade saw second base. Cashion's
work was mighty pleasing 10 Boss Grin
and the fans. Tom Hughes, who sue
ceeded Cashion. was also on the Job with
some airtight pitching.
The visitors did not make much Of an
impression on the crowd. Manager Killing
was unable TO present his best team
on account of illness TO several OF his
players, but II Is doubtful II the strong
est front Boston could have produced
would have made any difference The
Nationals outplayed the braves in every
department.
The matinee bristled with local fea-
lures Howard Shanks again gets his
name in the paper surrounded by fiat
tering notice. for a swell catch in the
third inning and a dandy clout in Wash
ington's opener which scored the first
tally. Germany Schaefer turned the
spotlight upon himself in the third, when
he lifted one Of DonneIly's shoots over
tne garden wall 1T lOr a
homer, scoring Cashion ahead OF him.
IT was some smash.
Only once were the home folks in dan
ger. Tom Hughes was generous with his
passes in the seventh and loaded the
bases but a double play saved him
whole lot OF trouble.
Milan Opens with Single.
With DonneIly in the box for Boston,
Clyde Milan opened the game by wal
Looping the ball to a safe spot in right
field, and Immediately followed this up
by sneaking down to second. Schaefer
popped to Jackson. but Shanks planted
a pretty single to short left, and Milan
was across the plate like fash
80 DOnnelly got away with it during the
second. but the third proved to be the
Nationals big inning. Three tallies
helped fatten the score. Williams drew
base on balls. Cashion hit a fast
Grounder at Donnelly. who was slow
pegging 10 second in an attempt TO head
of Williams who was going TO second.
Both men were safe. A double steal was
attempted and again each base runner
moved up. as Kings throw to Third
Baseman Mcdonald was muffed by the
latter. Milan gave Miller a high fly in
right. and Williams scored on the out.
Germany Schaefer, who had previously
gone out on a weak fly to left field, had
the Beaneaters guessing. They were
playing for him to hit again to that
section of the park. The Teuton in
stead took a mighty swing and caught
one of Donnelly's fast shoots on the
point Of the jaw. Doc Miller was
backed up against the fence, and as the
ball sailed over. the crowd in the bleach
ers could hear him shout good night.
Schaefer paid his respects to each base
guardian as be logged around, crossing
the plate behind Cashion.
After Donnelly had served four in
nings Manager Killing substituted Brown.
who was effective in the fifth. but in
the sixth the home folks pulled down
their final tally.
Schaefer led off by drawing pass. A
sacrifice by Shanks put the comedian on
second. Flynn died, Ingerton to Houser,
hut Jack knight connected for slash
ing single through Mcdonald, sending in
Schaefer.
Hub Purdue worked the remaining two
chapters for the foe, and was invincible,
refusing to allow any liberties.
Hughes on the Mound.
The sixth saw Tom Hughes on the
job. and the veteran looked aces up. He
was breaking nicely. The Braves avert
&c a whitewash In the seventh. Hokser
vas passed and Ingerton singled over
second. Mcdonald walked, filling the
bases. Raridan sent a teaser at Foster
who was unable to get the Boston catcher
at first, and Houser scored on the play.
Manager King sent in Kirke to bat for
Erown, and timely wallop inserted right
here would have raised havoc. Kirke
igncminiously famed, and Sweeney hit
irto a double play, closing the inning.
Manager King stated that he would
work his crack soUthpaw, Tyler, against
the Nationals to-day. and that old Cy
y oung would also pitch a few innings II
the veteran felt in shape.
