two batters in the third inning yesterday
and two doubles and two runs resulted.
He slipped one to Ctcotee. and he hit 1t
into right for a couple of bases, and
moment later he handed one up to
Weaver. who duplicated Cicottes per-
Torrance. Shaw has terrific speed. and
great curve ball, and so long as he
confines himself to the use of these he
is apt to beat most any club But there
is nothing deceptive about his change of
pace, and the batters seem able to anti
cipate it and hit it hard. Shaw pitched
great ball in the pinches. In the fifth
inning. for instance. he had the bases
full and none out. yet did not allow
run. In the seventh he was in more
trouble having man on first and third
with none out, yet did not allow score.
There was a long dispute in the ninth
over a mix-up III decision at first base.
Breton had started the inning with hit,
and Cicotte. in an effort to sacrifice, pop
ped up a little fly in front of the plate
which Williams muffed. but threw to
Gandil. who touched Breton who had not
left the bag. and then touched the bag,
completing a double play. Umpire Chill
called Cicotte out, but allowed Breton to
stay there. and when he was asked the
reason for his ruling he contended that
Williams had dropped the ball purposely.
but Umpire Connolly Strengthened him
out on that question. and he then called
Breton out allowing the double play.
There was a long kick by the Chicago
players. but the decision stood

Ray Morgan presented Cicotte with a
hit in the seventh inning when. with
three and two on the batter and Breton
on first Ray started to cover second and
Cicotte hit right through where Morgan
should have been standing. With three

Manager Jim Callahan yesterday denied
there was any truth in the current report
that he is to become president of the
Chicago club while Bill Gleason will
take charge of the team.
IF any such Arrangement was con-
templated I am sure that I would know
"Comiskey has never mentioned such a
thing to me. and I naturally feel that
there is nothing in that story.
Wolfgang relieved Cicotte in the ninth
after Johnson's single had driven. Ain

base. Moeller, however hit long fly
to Demmitt in left, and Ainsmith scored
without trouble. After that Wolfgang
was invinc:ble. the Nationals failing to
get a single hit off him. He was

him to second. but Morgan famed. and
Shanks. too. offered little opposition.

the Nationals hitting. is not apt to have

first days results are to be CONSIDERED.
Moeller Foster, Mitchell and Williams
are still hitting as they have most OF the
time. but the others did not show any
improvement.
1t was source of surprise that Crit

game for Shaw. for Walter had pitched
a hard game Saturday. and had but one

have fitted Johnson to work today.
