BY WILLIAM PEET.

/ Chicago, June 1o-From an authorita-
the Washington Baseball Club had asked
for waivers on Carl Cashion. the big
right-handed pitcher.
! Manager Griffith refused TO deny or at
firm the report. He said. II never dis
cuss the matter of waivers with any
body. Such things are supposed to be
kept strictly confidential
/, If waivers have been asked, such q
movement may have been made more to
determine Cashion's worth in the eyes
of the other league managers or for the
, purpose of stirring the big pitcher 10
harder work.
So far this year Cashion has done
very little to show his " orth, and the
! recalling of Bert Gallia from Kansas
City may possibly mean that Cashion
will be sent to that city in order that
i he can be used regularly in the box
The loss of today's game was a bitter
blow to the Old Fox. who had It all
nicely figured out that the Nationals,
after encountering hot weather and hard
luck in ST. Louis, would make start
for another winning streak, but he reck-
oned without his host. Joe Benz. being
up in the batting order for tomorrow.
Boehling is slated to twirl this second
game of thS series here tomorrow after
noon, and he will be opposed by Lefty
Russell. who won the only game cred
ited to the Sox while in Washington this
season
Milan and Griffith. suspended for the
run in with Umpire O'Loughlin in ST.
Louis last Monday, were both reinstated
by President Ban johnson today. John
son to the writer said: MILAN has al
ways been considered a high-class ball
player. We never have had any trouble
with him, and / am willing to overlook
his hasty display of temper in St. Louis"
Naturally Milan could not be placed in
good standing unless similar measures
We're adopted in Griffith's case, for both
were guilty of harsh mutterings at the
arbiter during that game against the
Browns.
That Demmitt was able to make three
bases on his hit down the first base line
in the opening inning was due to the iron
supports of a fence in front of the pa
vilion seats. The supports are inside the
playing field on foul ground, the ball
curving- there forcing Moeller to play
the Sox outfielder deserved.
When Collins batted in the third he
hit a roller to Foster. Eddie shot 1t
across the green. but his peg was
short and wide. Chick Gandil stretch
ed out that long arm of his and made
a great stab with one hand. which
brought forth much applause from the
hostile crowd.
johnson got out of a nice hole in
the sixth. Two lucky hits and his
wild pitch put men on second and third.
With one gone. Walter forced Bodie to /
Whit and Mcbride took care of Col
Inns hoist back of third base.
For eight rounds Joe Benz held the
Griffmen hitless. There was much
speculation as to whether he would be
able to go the entire>route without al
lowing a bingle. When Ainsmith gave
in the press box were unanimous in
declaring that the catcher was en-
titled 10 a base knock.
