League Flag Yet.
OTHER SPORT COMMENT

Jay Carl Cashion. the Carolina Curver
who was injured in Cleveland May q,
will attempt to demonstrate that he
can come back after an enforced lay OF
OF more than three months, when he
enters the box against the New York
Highlanders this afternoon.
Griff has decided to work the big
fellow, as Cashion has shown enough
in practice to warrant taking chance.
When the Nationals reached Phila-
delphia last STANDARDIZATION was at
the hotel to meet them. He had come
unheraled and unasked.
I'm up here ready to pitch II you
want me-" he told Griff. The Old Fox
was more, or less surprised, but withal
pleased at the spirit shown by the
Carolina lad. a
Opposed to Cashion today most likely
will be Ray Caldwell. who has been
pitching fine ball for the Yankees ever
since the rumor leaked out that waivers
had been asked on MIN by Manager
Chance. Today's game Will start prompt
ly at o'clock, the hour set for all Sat
urday contests.
Bill Morley. the shortstop Griff farmed
out to the Hartford club, of the Eastern
Association, will not report here next
Monday, as expected.
Hartford has just won the champion
ship Of its league. and a post-season
series has been arranged with the Wor-
Cester club. ef the New England League.
which aggregation captured the bunting
in that circuit.
Said Manager Griffith last night: IF
Morley has a chance to pick up a few
extra dollars. l shall not stand in his
way. He can remain and play 1 this
series and report when the series closes"
According TO reports. Morley is the
leading shortstop OF 1the Eastern Asso-
ciation. and Griff predicts a brilliant fu-
ture for the young man.
Atlanta has not won the Southern
League pennant, but there is still
chance of Billy Smiths Crackers pulling
OF the stunt
Atlanta and Mobile were booked for a
double-header yesterday, but only enc
game was played. This game was won
by the Crackers which leaves them tie6
for the flag. Both clubs have won 20
games and lost IS.
Atlanta tackles New Orleans tomorrow
while Mobile is playing in Mobile. II
both win tomorTow's game, Mobile can
grab the pennaEt by landing Sundays
game, as the Atlanta season ends today
II the Crackers win today and Mobile
breaks even in the next two the per-
centage table will show that the Crack
ers have crossed the wire first by few
points.
Ed Dent. who was with the Nationals
for a short while this spring. saved to-
days game for Atlanta by relieving
SUuthpaw Price in the seventh irning.
II seems too bad that Walter johnson
could not have been in the form he dis
played yesterday when he went against
the Philadelphia Athletics last Monday,
for he would have given the White Ele-
plants decisive beating.
In the seventh inning Of yesterdays
game johnson famed Cree. HartzelI, and
knight in a row.
Griff's judgment; in placing John Henry
sixth in the batting order Wa plainly
shown during the first game yesterday.
Henry drove in two OF the Nationals
three runs with safe hits.
Joe Gedeon's catch and throw to the
plate in the ninth inning Of the opening
battle was one OF the prettiest plays ever
seen at National Park. The Pacific Coast
kid surprised even his most ardent ad-
mirers by his ability 10 play the treacher-
Gus sun field. Joe came through with a
hit the first time up. More power to him.
Up to date neither Msisel or Gilhooley,
New fork's promising youngsters. have
connected with the ball for safe hits but
both stand up to the plate nicely and
are corking good fielders.
