ehaw may pay visit TO Bone-Hetter
Reese before he leaves Cleveland. The
young speed merchant is suffering from
a sore shoulder that simply Will not
make a change for the better. He te-
l!eves that there may be a Igamcnt out
of place in his shoulder and that Reese
NAV be able to detect the pace and re-
pair it.
Shaw has been Of no use to the Crlh-
men since he caught cold in his shoulder
on the way home from Detroit on July
d. Since then he has pitched but three
innings. facing the White sox In Wash
ington that long on August :. On July
20 he battled the Indians here and failed
70 go the distance. being relieved by
Boehling after losing control In the
ninth. Therefore. for practically full
month Shaw has been Of little assistance
to the team.
He has now come to the conclus on
that only a visit to Reese will determine
the real reason for his trouble. 1t is
probable that Shaw will confer with
Manager Griffith tomorrow on tho ar
rival Of tho latter from Boston. and Will
go to Youngstown in the afternoon, re-
turning before night
The Griffmen are awaiting word from

from his unwonted exercise, tomorrow
around noon.
The Griffmen expect to win all three
games here from the Indians. thus
making up for those three defeats In
Boston, Lee Tohls team is not going
good and there Is said to be dlssension
among the players. Joe Jackson. one
of the best players in the game today,
was soundly roasted by the Cleveland
fans yesterday in the double-header
against the Tigers because he failed tc
knock the ball out OF the lot. The
player took 1t IN good spirit. but the
prove that rumor around the league thii
ason that Jackson wants to get away
from the team.
Jackson would be a greater star than
ever with some other team where I'D
would have the fans with him. He Is q
temperamental player, one who likes to
have the fans with him. Adverse critt-
cism hurts him greatly, interfering with
In p-
hind him, he Is one OF the most dan
gerous hitters in the game. as well al
q wonderful fielder and thrower. But
dreadfully. He is now In such a slump,
caused by caustic criticism Of the fans
in the first base pavilion.

talking. and never tries to tell all he
knows. no matter how much or how

1t iS expected that Ray Morgan will
report here. but there Is no place fol-
him on the team. unless 1t be for hitting
in pinches. One look at the batting av,
