MANAGER GRIFFITH
WOULD WATCH HIM
Wants to Know How Youngster
From Toronto Looks at Bat
in a Regular Game.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

CHICAGO, Sept 20.-Charley Pick, the
infelder obtained from the Toronto club
will be given a trial in at least one full
game before the Nationals return to
Washington, according to the plans of
Griffith.
Picks ability as fielder IS well
aFer intends to put him is to see if he
can hit. In order to do this, without
breaking up the regular infield. Griffith
said that Picks first appearance would
probably be as an outhelder, going in
left field.
1t is not unlikely that Picks name
will be in the box score before the
Nationals leave here.
The stay here promises to be far from
a rest Today a double header is
tcheduled and tomorrow the Griffmen
ill once more meet the SoX in double
bill. Griffith decided definitely to work
Jack Bentley in one Of the garues this
afternoon, with Shaw as the probable
choice in the other.
While he is insisting today that had
II not been for a decision in The final
inning Of the second game the Ma
tionsls would have left St Louis with
out being defeated. Griffith is well ::atis-

Had the Athletics run up to their

twice in as many days, the Nationals
would now be in third place.
To Branch Rickey. Fan johnson owes
thanks today for the avoidance of a
scene at st. Louis that might have
enualed the affair in which Ray Nor
gan ana Sheridan engaged at Detroit.
IN the eighth inning Evans called a
balk on Weilmen. sending Milan home
with the winning run. The whole Brown
squad was on its feet complaining, and
Weilman left the box to express to the
umpire his opinion OF any sucn dec
sion. Weilman started to use some
urseeming language when Evans
rushed az him. with the pitcher still
holding his ground Hickey was ne-
tween the men in an instant. and bodily
dragged the big pitcher away as ne
player continued to make threats
against the umpire Weilman was ban-
ished end Baumgardner was brought in

three scattered hits. However. EnSel
was putting men on in all but one in
ming. SO Griffith decided on the change
with tNSo on in the sixth. Shaw showed
the form that has marked his last few
appaaraces, and he held the Browns at
bay while his comrades were amassing
four runs at the expense of LeHerenz
and BaumEa-dner.
Ayers pitched ball In the second en-
counter that would ordinarily win. but
the scarcity Of hIrs by the men behind
him forced him to 60 the full route un-
der forced draft, and when the test
came in the final session, St. LOUIS put
over the hit that won the bitter con-
test which was called after the eighth
because Of darkness.
