Cashion and Caldwell in
Pitchers Battle-Na-
tiOnals Fail to Hit
in Pinches.
BY wmLIAM rEEr.

Jack LeliveIt, who pastirned in
the Capital last year. broke up the
ball game in the Concrete Coliseum
yesterday, landing the New York
Hihgianders on the right side of a
2 to ! score when he unloaded a
two-base smash in the seventh in
ming of bitterly fought contest,
sending home Paddock all the way
from first base
Lelivelt's wallop furnished a per-
fectly good reason as to why he
didn't stay put in the minors
he sure can punish the ball, and
before the final curtain drops this
year will have broken up more than
one combat for Woiverton's crowd,
or all signs viii have gone wrong.
Slim Caldwell, who rejoices in
the name of Ray, was another
prominent leader in the rout of the
Nationals. Caldwell had as much
stuff, including perfect control, as
any twirler who has displayed his
wares here this year.
The Hit that Never Came.
In only one inning could the home
folks shove base runner beyond the
initial sack. This was the eighth, when
a chance to win the game was lost for
want Of base hit. Caldwell allowed
1--WE singles. and did not issue a base on
balls.
Jay Carl cashion was Cribs choice.
and 1t was through no fault of his that
his pals were unable to bring home the
bacon. The big boy gave a brilliant ex-
hibition Of twirling. and pulled down
two of the hits credited to the Nationals.
While it Is true that a ball he could
not make behave plunked a New York
bloke in the shoulder and gave Lelivelt
a chance to get in his deadly swat. new
ertheiess, with any kind of elouting be-
hind him tine home folks should have
grabbed on the frolic.
There was lot of clean-cut fielding
by both sides. Mcbride and Tommy Nc
MILAN. the diminutive Yankee shortstop.
each handled seven chancs without a
slip-up. Mcmillan put himself at the
business end of double play in the
Nationals third that took lot of starch
out of our heroes, and he also robbed
Eddie Foster of a single by a neat scoop
and throw in the ninth.
John Henry caught a peach of a game
behind the bat. Three times the invaders
tried to steal, and on each occasion the
ball was waiting to be clapped on the
runner.
- The Nationals one chance to win the
game came in the eighth. Kenworthy
led on with a hit but Mcbride forced
him at second. Henry persisted. Simmons

With the ball IN Caldwell's hand. Cashion |
stole second. taking big lead of the
bag with the express purpose of drawing |

pranced of third and Chase made one
of his lightning slams to Paddock. Nc |
Bride scrambled back just in time and |
Cashion pounced on second. Moeller |

a hit would have sent over two runs, |
but Danny's best was a pop fly TO Sim

Foster singled. but was left stranded |
Henry reached the initial bag in the
second when Paddock dropped the catch

play after .Cashion had forced Henry at

fifth, when Mcbride singled. but Mac
was picked of stealing. Cashion singled
with one down in the sixth, but Moeller
and Foster died in turn. The foregoing l
mentioned chances represented about all
the liberties Slim Caldwell permitted.
New York Wins the, Game.
The Yankees winning tally was put
over so quickly and came 50 unexpect-
eddy that the majority of the fans hardly
realized what had happened. Chase and
Daniels were both out OF the way when
Cashion hit Paddock in the shoulder.
Leiivelt sent a screamer out of Ken
worthy's reach Just inside the left field
foul line and, although Kenworthy did
not loaf for a minute in pursuit Of the
ball. Paddock had gotten away to a n.y.
ing start from first base and fairly
burned up the base paths. easily beating
the ball on its way to the plate.
This was also the only chance the
Yankees had to put over q marker, and
they made the most of II.
Yesterdays victory gives New York
but one out OF three in the final series
here this season, and also only the sec
ond game the Hishlanders have captured
here this year, Jack Quinn getting away
with victory the first time the Gotham
lies landed N the 1
