ting Rally in Ninth.
CARL CASHI0N IS WILD
Carolina Curver Always in Tight
Places-Morgan Gets Homer.
Score 8 to Z.
CARL CASHION Is WILD
BY WILLIAM PEET.

With the bases full, one run to
the bad in the last half of the
ninth, Chick Gandil shot single
to left field and the Nationals won
a hard fought exhibition game
from the Boston Braves in the
Concrete Coliseum yesterday, 8 to z
With Hub Perdue, the visitors
best finger, on the mound, the Bear
Brigade carried the fight from the
start. Cocky over their sensational
victory the day before, the New
Englanders wanted to win by hook
or crook, and came within an ace
of so doing.
Jaw Carl Cashion was Griff' S
pitching choice, and the Carolina
curver was not only hit hard, but
wild as the proverbial hare, walk
ing six of the Braves and hitting
four. He did not look at all i'm
pressive, but now that he has got
ten all of the wildness out Of his
system better things may be ex-
pected.
Cashion was always in hot water, his
worst inning was the eighth, when he
gave out three bases on balls, hit Con-
molly on the arm and was touched UP
for a couple of doubles and a single. Grifi
made the Carolina boy go eight full in
nings, the longest any Washington
pitcher has Travelled thus far this sea-
son, which may explain in a measure
Cashion's poor showing during the fag
end of the battle.
The contest was a seesaw affair and
exciting enough to suit the most exact
ing. The Braves jumped into an early
lead of two runs, but the Griffmen
hauled this down in the fourth by sending
over a quartet of tallies and adding an
other marker in the fifth. This margin
appeared bulky enough to win the game
until the eighth. when Boston jumped
on Cashion and gathered four runs,
placing the figures to 5, with the
Nationals on the small end. Ray Nor
gan put us one notch nearer the enemy
by banging out a homer in the Nationals
half of the eighth and the Griffmen
came through with an old-fashion bat
ting rally in the NINTH putting over
enough runs 10 spell NlctOry
The home folks behind Cashion fielded
better than did the Braves back of
Perdue. and only the erratic pitching
of the Carolina HEAVIER caused the game
to be at all close.
Little Maranviile, the visiting shortstop.
was easily the star. He robbed several
of the Nationals of well-earned hits by
sensational stops and Joe Connolly had
a busy day in left field.
Cashion Starts Poorly.
Cashion opened the game by walking
Joe Connolly. A passed ball advanced
Connolly to second. Maranville famed,
but John Titus bumped one up against
the right field fence and Connolly
scored.
In the visitors third, De Voght singled
to left Perdue was hit in the small
OF the back by a pitched ball. Connolly
forced Perdue at second. Morgan to Nc
Bride, and while Morgan and Gandil
were retiring Maranville, De Voght
crossed the plate.
Perdue sent back the Nationals as fast
as they came up until the fourth, when
Eddie Foster walked and reached Sec
ond on Milan's single Chick Gandil
doubled to right. and Foster came home.
Morgan walloped the ball down the left
field foul line for a double, scoring Mi
Ian and Gandl. and when Ainsmith died,
