COLGATE, Okla, Jan. 2a.-Al-
though every effort has been made to

The Taft Endorsement is a marked

into pandemonium by entering the
hall astride diminutive pony and

SECOND GAME.

Cashion's no-hit, no-run affair came as
a big surprise, and his work was a
revelation to most of the fans. The
truth of the writer's many prior state
ments. to the effect that II Cashion could

ter illustrated than during the six in
nings he faced the Maps yesterday.
The only question for a doubt as to
Cashion's claim for a no-hit game was
in the second inning on a hard-hit ball
at Mcbride from olsen's bat. Mac got
in front of the drive. had both. hands
on the ball, and fumbled. Three base

were unanimous in their decision that
the play should be scored as an error,

bases. two b. reason of errors, and the
third on a pass. the only base on balls
Cashion allowed. Gregg was slipped the
transportation and stole second. This
was as near as Cleveland came to scor-
ing.
Gregg had only one bad inning. the
second. WHEN the Nationals won the
game. Gandil opened by taking three
healthy swings. Morgan walked. but
was thrown out stealing. Shanks drew
a pass and pulled off a pretty delayed
steal, catching the entire Cleveland team
asleep. Mcbride nearly knocked the un-
derpinning off Olsen. who threw wild to
first. Shanks scampered home and Nc
Bride raced to second. John Henry
ripped a two-basger into deep left and
Mcbride crossed the plate. During the
remainder of the game Gregg had the
home folks at his mercy.

FIRST GAME.

Grin and Harry Davis engaged in q
little jockeying prior to the umpire's
call of play" When the Washington
battery was announced the pitcher was
Schegg. while Cleveland presented Gregg
Griff's object was evidently to force
Davis to pitch Gregg against johnson.

was chased to the cooler and Walter
johnson entered the box.
Davis also took a hand at jockeying.
for he let Gregg pitch to Milan and
then sent in Bill Steen. who twirled the
remainder of the game.
Steen looked good until the fifth. when
Shanks hit a scorcher through Peckin-
paugh, who picked up the ball near the
grass and was forced to throw while
off his balance. The ball landed some
where near the stands and Shanks
reached second, going to third a minute
later on a passed ball. Mcbride singled
to right and Shanks came home.
Foster. the first National I'D in the
sixth, was presented with base on
balls. Moeller came through with one
of his old-time wallops, and line drive
to the score board yielded two bases.
Gandil lifted a pretty single over sec
ond. scoring both Foster and Moeller
The Nationals fourth tally came in

to second on a passed ball. Ainsmith's
sacrifice advanced the captain to third

chance to twirl the entire route
was because of an agreement before
the game that the Maps should be
allowed to depart in time to catch
an early express for Boston.
Both games were close enough to keep
the spectators keyed up. In the curtain

the closing rounds that made everybody
uncomfortable. But the Kansas Cyclone

not a tumble or wild throw being con-
tributed by Walters pals.
The last affair saw Southpaw Gregg
and Cashion in the points A wild streak
by Gregg in the second inning, followed
by timely swats, sent over a couple of
runs and won the game. Cashion's con-
troll was almost perfect. and when such
sluggers as Jackson and Lajoie are sub
-dued it's a fair guess that the young
man who is pitching has something on
the ball.
Gregg Fans Nine.
vean Gregg also had his south side
slants working properly. The Nationals
only batted against him for five in
nings. and during that period nine per-
ished via the strike-out route.
Catcher John Henry, who threw his
left knee out Of whack more than a
month ago, was behind the bat yes
terday for the first time, handling
Cashion's delivery faultlessly. The col
legfan was strapped up like a prize race
horse for fear of injury, but the hobbies
did not prevent him from unloading a
timely double to deep left which scored
run. Henry's appearance after his
enforced rest, and at this time. has
lifted a big weight of Boss Griffith's
mind
Although Detroit failed to head OF
Boston in the Red Sox's mad squirt for
the flag. the Athletics yesterday were
neatly stopped by the Chicago White
Sox and are now trailing the Nationals
three games in the rear.

THE DETROIT TIGERS TO-DAY

Manager Grifith last night an
nounced that he had purchased the re-
lease of Kenworthy. the sensational
young outfelder of the Denver club of
the Western League. and that Ken
worthy would be with the Nationals
on the next Western trip.
outfielder Moran. of the Chattanooga
club OF the Southern League, accord =
ing TO Grifr. will also join the Nation
ais within the next two weeks, and he,
too. will be taken West.
1t has been known for some time
that Griff was after Kenworthy, and II
is understood that a fancy price was
paid for this young man, who is at
present leading the league in hitting.
and is said to be a whirlwind on the
bases Last season Kenworthy batted
.315 and fielded $40 in sixty five games
Whether or not Kenworthy and
Moran will appear in the lineup be-
fore the season closes depends upon
the work of Sha1ks and Moeller. Griff
does not intend to be caught mapping.
and is guarding against a slump on
the part Of Moeller or Shanks.
The Detroit Tigers make their fare
well appearance here. starting a four
game series this afternoon. Tom Hughes
or Jim Vaughn will be in the box for
the Nationals.
The brilliant pitching Of Cashion
when he shut out the Maps yesterday
without a hit in six innings is particu-
larry pleasing at this stage of the race
II Cashion can continue to pitch such
ball there Is all the more reason to be-
lieve that the Nationals have an out
side chance to beat Boston. Groom and
Hughes can be counted upon to hold
up their ends, and with just one more
dependable twirler to help out Johnson,
alright pitching, so essential to win
ming balls games, is virtually assured
1t really looks as II Cashion had at
last come into his own.
