Helps Locals to Runs.
CASHION. WILD AS EVER,

Engel and Bentley Take Ad-

Brilliant Form.
BY j. ED GRILLO.

" hat was perhaps the most
freakish game OF base ball that
has been presented on the local
grounds i'll many years occurred
Yesterday afternoon when the Ma
tIonals won their third straight
game from Frank Chance New
York team by a score OF 9 to-.
When Manager Griffith sent
Carl Cashion to the rubber it was
for the purpose OF determinin"
whether or not that big south
erner could be relied upon to help
out his pitching staff. Cashion
pitched six innings, allowed but
one hit. and was scored on blu;
once. the tally being the result OF
errors. and yet there is no reason
for SAYING that Cashion showed
any more as a pitcher than he has
at any previous time.
In the six innings that he officiated
he issued seven bases balls and hit
three batters. yet allowed but one hit.
and the one run which New York Sc
cured while he was off'ciatI'ss resulted
from brace of errors.
1t was a remarkable exhibition from
Ca shions standpoint. Inning after nm
ing he had himself in all sorts OF trou-
bic, yet he wrigged off the hook time
and time again. couple of doub G
plays. in one OF which he inquired NM
self. put the visitors out OF the running
One of these came n the first inning
when there were TWO men on and bu.
ore out, and the other made It's appear
ance in the third. when the bases were
crowded and but on" had been retired.
IL effectiveness is considered. Cashion
gave a wonderful exhibition. for. as said
before ne was hit safely bur once and
should not have been Scored on but
luck favored him consistently. Grit
first base in six innings ne is slaughtere1.
yet Cashion allowed but a single run.
Was Interesting for Awhile.
1t was a rather interesting ball game
for time. The one run which the
visitors scored in the sixth looked mighty
dangerous, for McHale, Jersey City re-
cruit was a most troublesome PROPOSE
ton but his teammates deserted him in
the latter half of the sixth, and from that
time on to the finish runs just rolled
over the plate in large quantities. Strange
Il enough. all the luck was with the
locals. They scored nine runs in the last
three innings. all after two hands were
out In the sixth three runs came after
4 chance to retire the side had been Of
fered. and i'm the very next inning five
more We're chased over the pan. after
two hands We're out. Chances charges
INDUCED in all sorts of error making.
Had they put forth their best efforts to
make misplays they could not have made
better job OF il. McHale continued to
pitch good ball but i'll the face of an
avalanche OF errors he, of course, was
forced to take to the tall and uncut.
Cashion relieved by Engel in the
seventh, and after Joe had held the WIS.,
itors to no hits for two innings he was
>upplanted by Jack Bentley. who worked
the last inning and retired the side
in order.
Cashier, walked the first two men to
face him. cree. however. forced Wolter.
and then Hartzell hit sharp grounder
20 l-aporte which was turned into dou-
bic play
Isshiou got away in the second. after
Walking only one man. but il seemed that
me end had come in the third. He start
this inning by hitting McHale but
Maise. forced him. Then he walked
Wolfe and hit Cree filing the bases.
Eastzell. who had relieved the situation
II the HfSt inning by hitting into a double
pay. duplicated the performance. driving
a sharp bounder at Cashion. who threw
10 tho plate and Ainsnith got the ball
- t.rst III time To double up Hartzcll,
ending the inning.
Cashion had two walks charged TO him
i; the fourth and got away. and he
walked ono man i'm the fifth. but was not
IL danger. In the sixth. however. he was
scored on. though ii not his fault.
knight started matters with "A hit the
first of the dsv against Cashion. Gil
hooly was hit by pitched ball. Ainsmith
threw to second to catch Knight nappin.
and the ball went u center. Milan threw
lid TO third and Knight came home
C;lhooley Went to third on Ieider's out
rIt when he left third too soon after
Noaliar caught Sweeney's fly he was
doUalrd up.
Errors Come in Bunches.
IL was in the last half of this inning
thar the New York team began to stage
its comedy Of errors The first two men
10 face McHale were retired. Then Fos-
ter was given life when Zeider threw
low to first. Gandl sent him to third
with q double TO left. I1aporte hit to
Ie:Ier and again the former White Sox

aporte reaching second. from where he
came home when Ainsmith singled.
The seventh was still funnier. Engel
