done often enough to satisfy the most
exacting of pilots, his record for the
thirteen games played to date showing
that he has reached first base twenty
six times, falling to become base run

being yesterdays. Fourteen OF the
times he has reached the paths 1t has
been through the medium of safe Fits.
eleven times by outwaiting the oppos-
ing pitcher and drawing a walk. and
once by reason of an alien error. The
fact that he has scored but seven runs
is due to the inability of the players
who follow him in the batting order to
produce. Shotton has been kept quite
busy in fielding his position. and
yet is charged with but one error. and
that on a drive to right center that he
was able to reach only by fast sprint
ing. Shotton will not be overlooked by
the dopesters who are recording tOe
comebacks of 1913.
With the announcement that Joe
Jackson, slugger extraordinary OF the
champion Chicago club. has been listed
in class / of the draft. supporters OF
the Red Sox are more frmly convince1
than ever that Barrows' troupe will
blaze the trail to the top of the heap
next October. With Jackson and his
big bat removed from the onense OF
Rowlands machine Boston fans can
see nothing but a world series being
after lapse of one year.
Dutch Leonard held the Nationals to
fewer scattered hits. while Shaw ana
Dumont were hammered hard. which.
with sievelike support, gave the Red SoX
an S-to-1 victory in the final contest OF
the series in Boston yesterday. Lieut..
Iavan made three of Washington's nus,
the others being credited to Morgan and
Hank Shanks, the latter rafting the

blow paved the way for the Grinmen.s
lone tally. The Nationals tied their
previous high record Of five in the
matter of errors.
Shaw was accorded a warm welcome,
the first four SoX to face him landing

recipient of Shaw's first Tree tlcHet,
but Shotton took care of both scout
and Agnew.
Lavan's single in the opener was
wasted. but the Nationals got one OF
these three runs back in the second.
Shanks led off with drive to the
fence in lett tndC neIteu HIN wv pt.S>.,

shoes. Judges out put Hank on th1rd
and Morgan was hit by pitched ball
and stole second. Shanks crossed the
plate when Foster droye hot one to
McInnis. on which Morgan was tagged
out on the line. Leonard tossed out
Ainsmith. Barrows men added two to
their total Of runs in the third on
one hit, a walk, two hobbies and one
near error.
Ainsmith shot Strunk's swinging bunt
to first ahead of Amos, but Joe had
to duck out of Strunk's way and drop

second and advanced a peg when NC
Innis got credit for a hit on bail
that Morgan fumbled after Shaw had
detected it from its course. Foster lost
a chance to retire Hoblitzell by running
