Carl CdShion Will Not
Pitch Again This Year
Big Hurier Says He Is Through for the 1913 Cam
paign-k Having Arm Baked Daily-Gossp of
Former SandOtters.
BY c. w. SWAN.

Il don't expect to pitch ball again for
at least year. and maybe not then"
was the information given by Jay Carl
Cashion, the Nationals big finger, yes
terday afternoon.
Il am having my arm tended to here.
going to the hospital twice a day. and
the doctors say that it will be at least
ten months before / can pitch with any
amount of speed again. Gee, but would
like to be with the boys now. l know, II
my arm was right, that 1 could win
some games for Grin," continued Husk.
This news, coming at time when
several stories had been printed that
Cashion would soon be in the game
again, Is a blow. indeed.
Breaking into the American League in
the early fall of 1911, a brilliant future
was predicted for the big fellow. Last
season, after carefully working under
Manager Griffiths instructions, Cashion
managed to get going a little, and wGE
eleven games. and losing six. He walked
los batters in twenty-six games.
This season great things were expected
of him. Cashion worked hard, beginning
right after Christmas at his home, and
when he reported to the squad at Char
lottesville was in good shape.
He went along fairly good, but the ola
control was still missing. Wild as
March hare, Griff would not send him
in TO start a game until on the first
Western trip. He injured his arr.
strafnIng muscle in his right elbow,
causing hiuf to be put under the care
of the club physician
While the Nationals were at home in
the last series, Cashion worked out every
morning. but his arm bothered him to
such an extent that he was forced to
stop.
Now. the arm is being baked daily, and
aiso treated by experts. If IL Is possible,
Cashion will again take his turn on the
mound for the Nationals. and the Big
twirler himself says that with a good
winters rest. he will show the fans that
he can win games for Washington.
The showing of Joe Ensel against the
Mans was pleasing to many of the local
fans, who are pulling for the local boy
to make good, but there are some who
are continually knocking the product #
the sand lots
Engel has not set the world on fire
this season by any means. but he appears
to be working hard to make good, AMI
as he is still a youngster should develop.
When il is taken into consideration that
Joe is still minor in the eyes of tie
law, little leeway should be allowed
him.
A peculiar thing about the purchase
of Dick Robertson. the Washington boy,
by the Cincinnati club from the Savan-
nah outfit is that Manager Griffith in
Structed Scout Kahoe to look Robertson
over when he had finished with the Paci-
fic Coast leagues. Before Kahoe could
get to the Sally circuit. the Reds grabbed
Dick, and now We will have to pull for
Dick to win ball games for the Reds in
The National League, instead of going to,
the Florida Avenue ball yard to see him
beat the rivals of the Griffmen.
Robertson is going like house afire
in the South Atlantic League. He has
won seventeen games out of twenty
pitched. and. according to Joe Geibel. his
battery mate, is showing more stuff than
ever before.
Dutch Munich, the young receiver who
was taken to Charlottesville by Man.
ager Griffith this spring, is scheduled
TO leave town tonight for Syracuse to
join the Syracuse outfit. He was given
a weeks furlough by the Utica manager,
owing to a split finger.
Dutch has been catching good ball and
also has hit well in the New York State
League. He is with a tail-end club, one
without a reliable hurler. and can hardly
be- expected to show up as well as If he
was with a pennant winner. Even with
a poor club, Dutch is rated as the best
little receiver in the league. and that is
going some.
Munich will report to the Nationals
when the State League season closes.
