'CASIHON'S CONTROL

Carolina Mountaineer Is Wild as Hawk But His Effectiveness

By SENATOR"

II Jay Carl Cashion's final test of
the season took place Yesterday, then
he need not worry about where he will
play ball next year. 1t will be right
here in Washington. for the Old Fox
Is never going to let eny pitcher get
away from him who can hold down the
foe to one lone hit in six innings mere
ly because he also walks seven bats
men in that time. Control can be ac-
I quired. Joe Boehling's case proves
that better than anything else, not to
| mention Joe Engel.
Cashion was dreadfully wild. But he
was equally effective. Indeed. his Wild
| ness proved Of some aid in keeping
| timid bafsmen away from the plate and
prevented their getting a good wallop
at the pill His speed was as great as
| ever, shooting into Ainsmith's big mitt
| and endangerins life and limb of every
Yankee facing him. He used a fast
ball generally and it sizzled toward the
dish. Not many cut it, but when they
did the Yankees couldn't hit them.
Two fortunate double plays aided the
Carolina curver considerably. In the
very first frame with a man on first
and third Hartzell slammed away in
to double play. The bases were filed
with one gone in the third when Hart
zell slapped a hot one back at Cashion.
The big fellow forced Maisel at the
plate and Ainsmiths quick hurl to Gan
dill doubled Hartzell at first These
two plays helped whole lot, let 1t
be said. s
Cashion did not let an inning go by
without walking at least one man. In
addition to his seven free tickets he
also hit Cree and Gilhooley. Neither
Yank WAS iuitrod however hoin0 in
| the act of falling away from the ter
| rife speed of The mastodonic twfrIer.
The lone run made by the Yankees
was aided by wild heaves by Cashion
and Milan, and should not have been
registered Cashion tried to catch
Knight of second. throwing to center.
Milan picked up the ball and tossed II
into the visitors dugout. letting Knight
tally. Frank Gilhooley jumped over the
dish on Sweeneys fly to Moeller, but
and was called out when Ainsmith shot
the pill to Foster.
Joe Engers work in the seventh and
eighth was perfect The young pitcher
was coolness personified. He took his
time and shot the ball across the plate
with amazing skill. His contIo! was re-
freshing to the fans who had been
watching Cashion's work all afternoon.
Engel has developed in two seasons
the best pitchers in the league. Thanks
to his good work on the recent trip OF
the Griffmen he has showed his winning
percentage up to zoo and should finish
the season with a better mark than that
by far.
Jack Bentley, the southpaw from
Sandy Springs, Nd, twirled his first
innings in the big league in the ninth,
and he did not show any nervousness.
He displayed a fine curve ball with a
fair turn of speed. Gilhooley, Zeider,
ard Sweeney were helpless before him,
and he ended the game in good style.
Finding the score SO overwhelmingly
ne-sided, Manager Griffith did not hesi-
tate in sending Bentley to the mound,
wishing to see how he acts under fire.
The Old Fox is now satisfied that he has
picked up a promising young southpaw.
Merito Acosta hit for Engel in the
eighth, and caught Sweeney and Pieh
