White Sox Batters Helpless
When Hits Would Mean
Runs Score, 2 to o.
EDDIE COLLINS FANS
WITH THE BASES FULL
Only Thing to Mar Performance Of
Nationals Twirler Was His Wild
ness, Six Being Passed.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

CHICAGO, May ia brilliant exhi-
btion of pinch pitching by Jim" Shaw
made it possible for the Nationals to
score a shut-out over the White So2
yesterday, the score being 2 to 0. Shaw
was in many tight places and 1t was
under such conditions that he proved
himself a pitcher of remarkable re-
sources. Twice he had the bases full,
once with two out and once with one
out, and yet he was not scored on. Inc
opening inning was started with a
triple by Felsch, yet he did not score.
In the sixth a pass to Fournier FOL
lowed by a wild pitch sent him to third
before man was retired, but ne
died at the plate. Shaw's many predic-
aments were due to his wildness. He
passed six men, three in the third and
three in the fourth. He was hit safely
only on four occasions. Once with the
bases crowded and two out the peer
less Eddie Collins faced him and struck
out In the very next inning with the
bases again filled and two out Dem
mitt, a pinch hitter, was retired at first
on a grounder to Morgan and again the
game was saved
Jim" Scott was pitted against Shaw
for four innings, then he was taken out
with the bases full and Benz took mis-
place. Both were scored on for one run
each and divided the six hits between
them.
