By SENATOR"

Utterly forgetful that the Nationals
have established baseball records this
season to continue for many a day, that
Carl Cashion has figured in several of
them and that even then he was pitch
Ing marvellous ball against the New
York Highlanders, the fans howled for
Jack Lelivelt to produce the hit sure
to settle the game and when he came
through with a timely double to left
field, sending Paddock across the plate
with the lonely tally of the battle,
great applause went out TO the former
National, because he had beaten the
home team. Verify, It's strange, the
mental process of the Washington fan.
New York won, to 0.
Slim Caldwell, H. Fffervescent VOL

hooks. He lived up to Jimmy McAleer's s
opinion of him. which is some opinion.
too, by the way. He held the Nationals
to five scattered hits, and was in dan
ger only in the eighth inning. At all
other times he sailed along calmly. He
kept tho light-hitting Nationals down
under his thumb. He wouldn't let them
up.
Rut, IL Caldwelrs pitching was excel
lent, so was that OF Carl Cashion. The
Carolina monolith gave but four hits
to the enemy and two of them were
scratches. Never did the enemy bunch
two biEgles and the lone run of the
battle resulted from a combination of
a hit batsman and Lelivelts double to
left. And the fans cheered the defeat
of the home team.
How 1t Happened.
Neither side had done anything with

under way, and nothing foretold that
much would be done then, Moeller back

Chase's attempted homer and Mcbride
tossed out Bert Daniels. Then came the
break that decided things, Paddock
stopped a pitched ball with his anat-

Up came Jack Lelivelt, always dan
gerous hitter. Cheers broke out from
the fans. They shouted for him to bring
in the run, although knowing that such
thing meant defeat to the home team.
Both pitchers We're running along neck
and neck, and the Nationals were not
making any runs. Still they shouted,

Paddock streaked II for second and

LeIivelt reached second and Paddock

Had a Chance.
The Nationls had a chance to do some
thing in the third, but failed. Henry
lived when Paddock, following Herman
Schaefer's suggestion, dropped his little
pop. Cashion forced the backstop with
