Form, Holding Collegians
Hitless Five Rounds.
FINAL COUNT is z TO 0
Jerry Akers Replaces 'Husk' and
Works Good-Schaefer the Hit
ting Star-Hayes Shines.
By c. W. SWAN.

Jay Carl Cashion. the big Carolina
hurIer, came into his own yesterday In
the struggle with the Catholic University
henchmen at the concrete coliseum, and
demonstrated to the few faithful present
that he is OF big league caliber. To-
gether with Jerry Akers, Cash had
little difficulty defeating Catholic Uni
versity, 4 to o.
"Husk'' worked five innings, holding
the rah-rah boys hitless during his stay
on the rubber and walking but two. His
curve ball was breaking as wide as a
house, and he had the same old steam.
Manager Griffith wore pleased express
sion while the big fellow was on the
mound.
Griff's hopefuIs had little trouble with
the Brookladers, as Chief Greene ceased
being d puzzle after the sixth session,
and base hits came with a rush in the
two closing chapters. In the first few
innings, the Indian HEAVIER twirled good
ball, and had it not been for the few
boots of his team mates, the Nationals
never would have run up a total of
seven tallies.
The chief pitched classy ball the first
sixth innings. holding the big leaguers to
four hits in as many innings, and walk
ig two. He had his slow ball breaking
nicely, and the Nationals could not hit
". X,
on, Greene made Mcbride hit weak lit
tie roller to him. throwing out the Ma
tional at first. The chief was cool and
collected, and his work yesterday was
Ct the highest order.
Knight and shanks Play.
Jack Knight and Howard shanks broke
Lnto the game with the regulars. the
former replacing Jack Flynn at the in
81 10
putting up neat game, taking care of a
Poor throw from Foster that was a
Corker. At the bat, Jack slammed out
Il bingle in his only trip to the block.
Dan Moeller was injured in the opening
stanza, after stealing second, and was
forced TO leave the game. His injury
was not of serious nature. and will not
inconvenience the speedy OutfieIder in the
least. Dan threw his shoulder out of
place, but Trainer Nike Martin was on
the job and soon had Danny in great
shape. Manager Griffith sent Howard
Shanks TO left, and the youngster looked
mighty good, getting one safety out of
three trips and showing plenty of speed
on the sacks.
By far the most sensational work OF
the struggle was furnished by "Skeets''
Hayes, the lightning short fielder of the |
Red and Black aggregation. Hayes put |
up one of the best fielding exhibitions |
seen on the Florida avenue diamond this |
season, making three plays that bordered |
on the phenomenal. In the sixth inning, |
with Cunningham resting on third. Nc
Bride hit screamer over second. but !
''Skeets" was on the job, and taking the |
ball with one hand. held ''Cunny'' on
third and pegged Mac out at first. /
This play was the banner one of the
game. In the fourth round ''skeets"
made another fast peg, taking Williams |
hard drive in deep short and throwing |
out the speedy receiver by hair.
BinEIes Come In Ninth.
Up to the seventh inning the game was
interesting and hard fought, Chief
Greene holding the Nationals to three
hits and two runs. and was going good. |
In the eighth and ninth the big leaguers
hammered the pill hard. five bingles for a l
total of four runs being added to their
count.
The Catholic University aggregation did
not put up a bad game by any means
their chief fault being the inability of the
iniielders TO cover the bags properly. On
several occasions runners would have
been easy outs had either Hayes or Wild
mayer covered the second sack, as Nc
Donnell pegged the ball true to the sack,
and the pill beat the runners on each oc-
Casion. Twice the failure to hold the 5alI
cost a run, and in the third round, il
caused the chief to 90 up in the air and
walk three men in row, and forcing in
a run
Germany Schaefer, the witty guardian
Of the right pasture, was the hitting de-
mon Of the fray-getting a nifty set of
three bingles out of five attempts. in
Guiding a brace of two sackers. Ger
many had little trouble hitting Greene, |
being the only member of the Nationals
who seemed able to hit him hard with
any degree OF certainty.
In the field Germany only had one
chance, an easy fly from Horan's bat in
the fifth stanza, and the comedian cap
tured that with little exertion.
Pipp Looks Good.
Pipp. who held down first for the Col
legians. put up a mighty good game,
handling fifteen chances without an error
and taking care of several bad pegs.
Charlie Mcdonnell, the Red and Black
receiver, was in rare form, throwing to
