JAY CASHI0N is WILD
Jay cAsHIoN is WILD
BY WILLIAM PEET.

First blood for Brooklyn in the two
game series for the seventh place
championship OF the world. It was an
easy victory, TO 0. for the reason that
Bad Bill Dahlen's southpaws, Nap
Rucker and Allen, had whole lot Of
stun, ,Aand irifrs club swingers could
not Connect
Jay Carr Cashion, the Carolina curver,
was good and bad in spots. When he
could locate the plate, the visitors found
him hard to hit. but unfortunately Jay
Carts old trouble cropped out-wildness
and this one fault alone was directly
responsible for at least two Brooklyn
tallies.
Cashion performed on the mound for
five innings, and Dixie Walker worked
the last four. Dixie was rumpled up
seven hits worth. and was lucky to get
away with but three runs scored against
him.
As the writer doped 1t out yesterday
morning. Nap Rucker twlrled part of
the game for Brooklyn. He was touched
up for a quartet Of swats, and several
times was in/ tight holes, but in the
pInches the southpaw was inVincible-
Allen Some Finger.
Allen. another southpaw. whom it is
reported Charley Ebbetts paid $500 for
from the Mobile club OF the Southern
League. took Fuckers place after the
latter had pitched four rouRds;- and this
Allen, who denies that he is any kin to
the Hillsyille gang. is some pitcher. The
Nationals could not touch him. Two
measIy hits was the sum total OF the
home folks safe blows. Only two Of
Griffs willing workers saw second base
while Allen was the toiler.
A big Juicy zero represents what the
top of Wsshington's batting order ac-
complished during the nine frigid rounds,
and. believe US, it vas cold enough for
a hockey game. Jack Knight and Jack
Flynn grabbed two hits each, while
Dixie Walker and Cashion collected the
other safe drives credited TO the Ma
tionals.
The contest was devoid OF features.
Both teams fielded cleaniy and the
Dodgers batted at the right time, taking
advantage of every bit of wildness
shown by Grifrs pitchers.
Brooklyn scored in the first frame, the
run being a gift from Pitcher Cashion.
Moran walked, stole second, moved up
to third on wild pitch, and came home
on another wild heave.
Cashion Is Generous.
Cashion was just as generous in the
Dodgers second. Tooley walked. but
was forced at second when Ray Nor
gan made a pretty stop of Phelps hard
hit grounder Rucker tapped double
between Milan and Schaefer. With
Phelps on third and Rucker at second,
Moran sent up a long fly to Milan.
Phelps came home on the out: Jake
Daubert smashed a wicked single
through Flynn, scoring Rucker. and
when Smith skipped a single over Sec
ond Daubert counted.
Cashion settled down after this dis
astrous inning and allowed but one hit,
a double to right by Northen, in the
fifth. In spite of the fact that Cashion
gave four bases on balls and hit one
man, he struck out five, and had he
continued during the remainder of the
game the chances are that the visitors1
would not have rolled up such an i'm
pressive looking run total
Dixie Walker was hit harder than the |
figures show. Northen opened the sew
enth with a safe rap. Wheats sacrifice
advanced Northen TO second, and when |
died on a grounder to Flynn, |
Northen took third. Tooley hit sharply |
10 Flynn, who tossed to Dixie Walker, |
but the big pitcher did not get over to |
the base in time and everybody was
safe, including Northen, who crossed the |
plate.
A single by Allen in the Dodgers
eighth, Moran's double, and clean two
base smash from Northen's bat added |
.wo more Brooklyn tallies.
The same teams will meet again to- |
lay in the final practice game for the |
Nationals before the American League |
season opens in Philadelphia next |
Thursday.
The Score.
