Final Of the Series
Goes to New Yorks
Caldwell Holds the Nationals
to Three Scattered
Bingles. y
SHAW IS BATTED HARD
BY WILLIAM PEET.

The Nationals could do nothing with
the brand of pitching served up by Ray
Caldwell yesterday, and dropped the final
game of the series to the New York
Yankees. to o.
The combat lasted only seven innings.
as lit was agreed that the game be called
at 3 o'clock in order to allow the visitors
to- catch the Federal Express for Bos-
ton.
Jim Shaw was on the mound for the
hsymefolks, and was wild. Hostile swats
came when needed, and with such a
weak offense against Caldwelis shoots,
the result of the game was never in
doubt.
Three hits of Caldwell against eight
of Shaw tell the story in a nutshell
THE Cbancemen also backed up their
pitcher with errorless support, which
was denied the Washington youngster.
Clyde Milan and Howard Shanks col
Iided while chasing after Roy Hartzell's
line drive in the first inning, with the
result that Milan was spiked in the left
knee and quit the game during the sixth
inning. q.
OF the twenty-one Nationals to face
Caldwell, only five. managed to get on
the bases Morgan opened the third
with single to left Mcbride forced
him at second. Shaw singled. putting
Mcbride on second. 1t was up to Moeller
and Foster to do something, but the old
punch was lacking.
With two down in the Washington
sixth, Milan tripled to right center Gan
|dil struck out, while the crowd groaned.
Morgan drew a walk in the fifth, but
his pals could not bring him around.
Caldwell Master of Situation.
The foregoing represents all the dam
age inflicted to Ray Caldwell. The vis-
tors slim twirler had perfect control.
and mixed up curves with speed in a
puzzling manner.
Whether or not the Nationals would
have gotten to Caldwell had the game
been played out is a matter of conjecture.
The chances are that the lanky right
handler would have held his own as he
appeared to be just as effective in the
seventh as he was in the opener.
Shaw was hit harder than the box
score shows. He was continually in hot
water, and how he escaped serious danger
in the second inning is still a mystery.
Despite the fact that Shaw was beaten,
he looked mighty good out there on the
mound, and the writer believes that Griff
made no mistake when he selected the
Pittsburgh lad for one of his regular
kurlers.
After Shaw had disposed of Maisel in
the hrst inning, Hartzell came through
with a double and scored on Hoiden's
single.
The New FORKS filled the bases in the
second before anybody had been retired,
but were unable to score, as Shaw
frightened up in grand style. The same
situation obtained in the third, but Shaw
was not quite so lucky, for Truesdale
inserted clean single, scoring Holden.
Shaw blanked the New Yorks until the
sixth when two more runs were chalked
up Maisel singled, stole second and
third. Hartzell flied to Morgan. Walsh
walked and promptly stole. Harry Will
Jams damned a triple to left center, clear
ing the bases, but was thrown out a
minute later when he tried to steal home
The fielding features were few. Hartzell
made a nice running catch of Fosters
fly near the right foul line in the first
inning, while Holden camped under five
sky scrapers in deep center field. Score:
