Is to have a chance. If Kelley gets
away well and wins the opener it
would not be a poor idea to pitch him
right back in the next. He is a big
fellow and is plenty strong enough to
pitch twice in one day.
The largest crowd that has watched
an amateur game in Washington this
year is certain to be on hand, and il
would be no surprise if the number of
persons exceeds any that has attended
the previous intercity contests. There

beat Washington in a double-header

sure they are not going to witness a

Sanderson and Pierce, the two
pitchers on the Richmond team, are
said to be exceedingly capable--better
men than Richmond has had in the In
tercity games before. Both are re-

knowledge of how to use ii. INABILITY
to hit their offerings effectively has
been the falling of all clubs that have
opposed the Alcos. and that was tho

GOLFING HINTS.
BY "sTRAIGHT DRIVE

WITH THE WIND.-Continuing
where we left off yesterday, 1t is
we'll to take a shorter grip on the
club by dropping the hands few
inches further down toward the
club head. This reduces the lever
age and gives the player more
positive command of the club.
If inclined to top shots before
the wind 1t is a good idea to play
with the ball a bit further toward
the left, SO as to give the club
head an inch or so further chance
Of getting firmly under the ball.
Even a weak. partly skied ball will
gain considerable distance before
a gale.
On the approaches before a fol-
lowing wind I have seen many
very prominent amateurs get into
difficulties because they did not
take the trouble to use their brains
or did not have command Of the
stroke necessary to gain the exact
distance they needed.
The pitching approach before the
wind, closely stopped, is very de-
pendable where the nature of the
ground lends itself to assist a
closely cut ball.. but If the ground
is hard as flint much delicacy must
be employed.

territorial, because Maisel, who had pre-
viously walked, stole second after two
were out, and it was not figured good
policy to give DAILY, a good hitter, a
chance to bring him home.
Shaw scored his teams only run: He
got Fisher in the hole In the ninth,
and, with three and two on him, hit
sharply into right for a base. A wild
pitch put him on second, and then
Moeller came through with double to
right, which went through Mullen g

and issuing only two passes during the
nine innings.
There were two innings in which the
Nationals reached the bases-in the
fourth, when Moeller and Foster hit safe
ly successfully. and in the ninth. when
Shaw and Moe1ler brought home the
winning run. On all other occasions the

the Nationals might have scored in this
round. Moeller and Foster had singled
before any one was out, but while Milan
was at bat Nunamakers throw to Peck
inpaugh caught Moeller mapping off Of

right which ordinarily would have al
lowed Moeller to advance to third and
there is no telling what might have hap
pened then. Moeller. however, redeemed
himself in the ninth when he doubled and
drove home the winning run.
Walter Johnson will pitch the final
game Of the series here today. He
probably will be opposed by Heating or
Cole. To win two OF the three games
here after the miserable start the team
made in the opening game would be quite
encouraging.
It was not a good day for the catchcrs.
as far as hitting was concerned. Fisher
struck out Henry three times-every
time he faced him. and Shaw went Fisher
one better SO far as Nunamaker was
concerned.
Mike Mitchell did not get hit, but
he forced Fisher to issue his only two
passes to him. Mike and MoelIer did not
have a chance In the field and Milan
only one, showing that the Yankees were
not hitting many balls hard off Shaw.
The great improvement which Shaw
has shown I'm his work of late gives
promise of his coming up to expecta-
tions In the next campaign. As far as
natural ability is concerned, Shaw has as
much stuff as any pitcher living and all
he has needed is experience and improve
ment in control. His control yesterday
was good when it had to be- He seemed
capable of steadying down with men on
the bases and holding them in check.

There were five innings in which the
Yankees reached the bases. In three of
these the first man up got on and yet
they failed to score. Fisher. on the other
hand. had men on in but two of the nine,
retiring the side in order on every other
occasion. The difference in the offensive
strength displayed made Shaw's work all
the harder. In the opening round he
walked Maisel and Hartzell, but Cook
forced MaIsel at third. and Daily forced
Cook at second, with Mullen retiring the

NEW YORK, September 5.-Thanks
to brilliant exhibition by Jim Shaw.
the Nationals losing streak wa sbroken
yesterday when they scored q 1-to-0
victory over the Yankees. Shaw was
responsible for this victory in more
ways than one. Not only did he pitch
record making ball. but he started the
rally in the ninth which gave his team
its only run by hitting safely. Moeller
putting on the finishing touches after
a wild pitch had moved Shaw. to Sec
ond. Moeller's contribution wa sa dou-
BILE between Mullen's legs.
No pitcher in either major league
could have pitched a better game Of
ball than did Shaw. True, he was wild
at times, but he struck out fourteen, a
seasons record, and he allowed but
two measly hits. Because of his lack
of control on several occasions he was
in many tight places, where it was
necessary for him to smother the OPP
position in order to win, for his rival
Fisher, was almost as successful; and
1t was a foregone conclusion when the
game got we'll under way that the
pitcher who was scored on would lose.
It was in the tight places that Shaw
was at his best.
