1t will be up to Carl Cashion to win
the second game of the final series here
with the Maps today. Griffith has select
ed the young giant to do the twirling for
the Nationals, and il he shows as good
form as he did against Chicago the last
time out, he should stand splendid
chance of winning.
Just which one of his pitchers Manager
Davis will use has not been decided,
though the chances are it will be Steen, a
young man who has pitched good ball
against the Nationals on all ocasioLs this
season. II this program is carried out 1t
Is most likely that Vean Gregg. the Maps
great southpaw. and Walter johnson will
clash Tuesday. when the visitors make
their final appearance Of the season here.
Griffith Is very anxious to prolong the
Nationals winning streak. He hopes to
win large majority Of the games from
the western teams who are to play here
Tor the next ten days or so. by fortifying
himself for the crucial series with Boston
and Philadelphia. 1t is figured that the
Nationals must have good lead over
the Athletics during the next ten days or
50 In order to hold second place. for the
Athletics still have nine games to play
with the Highlanders. and are sure to
Win majority or these.
Grin refuses to concede that his team is
out of the race for first place He still
hopes to see the Bostons take a slump
while his team is winning He considers
1t marvellous that Boston should have
gone through the entire campaign without
getting setback. and he figures that
there Is still time for the leaders to tum-
BILE.
Base ball dope proves little or moth
ing. The Athletics, for instance have
won eleven of the sixteen games they
have played with Washington, and yet
Boston. which has lost eight out Of
fifteen to the Nationals. has beaten the
Athletics ten out Of sixteen Griffith's
team still has thirteen games to play with
with the Athletics. and these games are
apt to prove Of the greatest importance
II the teams position Is such that a
series OF victories will give it an improved
chance for the pennant race, then some
hard working days are coming for John
son. for he will be asked to work out Of
turn against both Boston and Phfladel-
phia- johnson is being carefully nurSed
along for this very purpose. He has not
been abused at any time this season, and
II he retains his present condition he is
sure to prove stumbling block for both
the teams mentioned.
johnson proved once before that when
IT is necessary he can work much more
often than he does ordinarily. He made
wonderful record in 1905 when he
pitched three consecutive days against
New York and scored three shut-outs
This performance is seldom referred to-
and yet has never been eQualed In the
history Of base ball.

games, was equaled by both him and his

If that Philadelphia team in the Ma
tional League had not suffered by rea-
son of series of injuries to it's best
players this spring it would probably
be fighting for the pennant now. To
a majority of the critics of that circuit
Dooin's team is the strongest in the
league, but it has been handicapped
SO much by having its stars absent
from the game that 1t will have its
hands full finishing third
But for all that the Phi1lies are going
to have something to say as to where
the pennant shall go. On several oc-
casions this season they have put a
crimp into the ambitions of contend
ers into the race, their latest being the
overthrow of the Cubs Sunday.
1t is the second time within the past
few weeks that the Cubs have fallen
before the Phillies. Once before, when
they seemed destined to crawl close
upon the heels of the Giants. the
Phillies came along and gave them a
severe setback. Pittsburgh, too. was
stopped by Dooins men and the
chances are that all three contenders
Giants. Cubs and Pirates. will have to
reckon with the Phillies before the
fight for the flag is over.
Clark Griffith once said that before
pltcnef was eStaDilSned IN the major
leagues he would have to go through
an entire season without faltering. and
this comes pretty near to being true
Jimmy Lavinder, who a few weeks ago
was the sensation of the Cubs, gives an
illustration of this theory. He was pitch
ing gilt-edged ball until recently. The
batters seem TO have solved his delivery
and the last two times out he has been
forced to retire under fire. Sometimes
pitcher who really lacks ability gets away
with a couple of victories simply be-
cause the batters expect him to have
more than he really has. But in due time
they learn his style and unless he pos
sesses real ability his career is cut short
1t is not likely that the Johnson
Jeanette fight will come OF in New York
The boxing commission is Directing on
the grounds that a battle between two
fighters Of such prominence attracts too
much attention to the game, and arouSes
the element which objects to pugilistic
exhibitions.
1t is a rather weakened policy for the
commission to Take such stand. Con-
tests between two scientific, well trained
fighters of experience is never apt to be
brutal. Brutal exhibitions usually are
furnished by novices, who merely try to
win by smuggling and do not know the
first thing about boxing. incidentally

Cubs Get Setback.

CHICAGO. August 19.-Philadelphia set
Chicago back half a game behind New
York yesterday by dividing a double
header with the local team, while New
York defeated st. Louis. The visitors
won the first contest. 10 to 8. and lost the
second. to 5.
The opening game was a wild affair, in
which the visitors hit OPPORTUNITY.
Cheney had everything his own way in
the second game. holding the Philadel-
phians TO seven hits, no two OF which
came in the same inning. Rixey was wild,
and Chicago had little difficulty In hitting
when hits meant runs.
An overflow crowd witnessed the
double bill. and ground rules were neces-
sary. making hit into the crowd good
for two bases.
Paskert and Doom got into arguments
with Umpire Owens in the first game and
were sent to the clubhouse. Scores:

BIG CARL CASFION TO WORK
AGAINST DAVIS MAPS TO-DAY
Griffith Anxious to Prolong Present Win
ming So as to Keep Team
Close to Boston.

Cleveland has two young players who
two or three years ago were given q
trial by Clark Griffith, then manager Of
the Cincinnati team. Doc johnson. the
first baseman, who has just Joined the
Maps from New Orleans, and Outfielder
Hanger both were given trials by Crit
fifth, but found lacking experience and
farmed out. Both have evidently i'm
proved, for they are getting their second
trial in the ma jOrs.
The American League batting averages
probably furnish the reason for Griffith
purchasing Frank Laporte to fill the
shoes of Ray Morgan. Laporte In 81
one point behind Gandil, who has played
in twelve less games. Morgan, on the
other hand. is hitting .245. just 6S points
below Laporte. Even II Laporte is not
played regularly it is a pretty good
scheme to have hitter Of his ability sit
ting around, and as he can play either the
intield or outfield. he may come in very
handy.
The most encouraging feature Of Grit
fith's team is the fact that most Of his
material gives promise OF improving by
next season. Shanks. Moeller, Foster.
Morgan and Gandil. for instance, should
be better ball players next season than
they have proved this. Milan and Nc
Bride are just at the zenith of their
getting better with every game
This is also true of the young pitchers
on the team. johnson, Groom and
Hughes are as good as they need be- but
Cashon, Engel and Musser are a trio that
is sure to be whole lot better in the
next campaign, and the chances are that
Jim Vaughn, too. will show Improvement
after being under Griffith's care for a
while.
Moran. the young outfielder purchased
by Griffith from Chattanooga, Is de-
scribed as being a finished ball player In
every respect. He is a right-handed hit
ter. said to be as fast as Milan on the
bases, a wonderful fielder and thrower
He Is hitting at a go gait In the. South
ern. a pace which 1t is claimed he will
hold when he comes into the big league
Moran and Allen. the outfielder secured
from Sharon. Pa, may Join the team this
fall. though Griffith has not decided as
to this. and may not ask them to come
on here until next spring.

ATHLETICS HAVE SUBLIME
CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES
First Place OF Nothing Is the Slogan Of
Mack's Players--Think They'll
Win the Pennant.

The club made big gain on Washing
ton and cut down the lead of the Red
SoX by a slight margin. The Mackmen
won ten out of fourteen, while Boston
won ten out of fifteen and tied another
contest. and Washington won ten and
lost six. Tuesday, Washington lost to
Chicago at Washington. while both the
Red Sox and the Mackmen were idle.
During their journey away from home
the White Elephants did not lose a,
series
They broke even in four games at
Detroit, captured two victories in one
day at Cleveland and won three games
each out of four days played at ST. Louis
and Chicago. 1t took careful manipu-
lating of his twirling staff for Manager
Mack to make such a showing. and there
is no doubt that he is decidedly well
pleased with the work of his men.
Since coming home three games have
been won from Cleveland.

PHILADELPHIA, August 19.-"Ffrs,
place or nothing is the slogan of the
Athletics. now occupying second place in
the league race.
Connie Mack and his athletes are de-
cidedly encouraged over the work Of the
club on the western trip. In fact. they
express themselves as being confident of
again winning the flag. The fact that
the Red Sox have a big lead does not
bother them, as they figure they have hit
a fast stride, while the Red Sox are due
for drop.
Manager Mack is quoted as having
written to a friend that his team never
played better ball, not even when at it's
best during the past two seasons, than
1t did on the western trip.

NOT LIKELY TO SUCCEED.
Ball Players Union Will Not Be
Any HoWling Success,

NEW YORK. August 1.-THE opinion
prevails in Well-posted sporting circles
here that the base ball players union will
not be bowling success. although it
may accomplish some things that the
players cannot achieve individually.
The main trouble with the organizing
of ball players is that the individual
worth of each player is something that
cannot be estimated in advance, nor can
it be indefinitely sustained Hence the
remuneration every player receives Is
exactly what the owner of club thinks
the man is worth to him. Lajoie. Cobb
johnson, Mathewson, Walsh and such
pre- eminent stars are worth whatever
they can get and they get all they can
