Shaw Master of Situation.
Shaw. who toiled in the final
three frames, was master OF the
situation at all stages. He tossed
out a pinch hitter after walking
man in the eighth, and in the
ninth. issuing another pass to the
first hitter up, made the next one
sky to Rice and whitfield Calvo
and Almeida, the heavy artillery
men OF the Cubans.
Neither Johnson nor Shaw at
tempted much in the way of
curves. mixing speed with slow
balls to fool the Cubans, but
Courtney used lot of hooks and
showed most encouraging con-
troll, giving a far different exhi-
| bition from that on last Wednes-
day. The double Gonzales got
was a sure enough hit, but Calvo's
three-base blow might have been
WFed had the outfelders been
properly placed.
ea1nadge's triple to right center
bffuwed by Milan's clean single
SJer second gave the Nationals
he first run of the game in the
bird. They added two more in
He fourth and but for .headless
tdserunning might have obtained

unds. Roth opened the fourth

Gdseman and took third when

q he had tossed it off to throw.

Saught between bases, Ellerbe
making third and Harris second.
Both registered on 7O'Neill's hot
&ash past short. Jim died at
$eeond trying to steal on the
Gtcher and Picinich was left on
Hfst after getting on through an
Error.
4 Roth tossed away a chance for
possible tally in the second. He
lad walked and reached second
ii Ellerbe's neat bunt, when
Harris popped one to the third
4seman. Roth failed to play it
Nafe by watching the result of
he whack. and was run down on
the line. Harris reached second,
mt was left by O'Neill.
Milan F;rrx ON Base Line.
Milan gummed what appeared
10 be the start of an auspicious
Tally in the fifth, after getting
is second hit with one down.
Rice placed a single in right that
keb should have walked to third
i, but he pulled up at the mid
Nay station, and, getting started
kain late, was tagged at the far
k&rner on a-close play.
las a matter of fact, it appeared
Milan evaded being tagged, and
Nick Altrock, who was coaching
Ster there, stewed and fused
bout the decision for several
fnutes, earning course Of
bots, from the fans. Roth then
ktou1ded to short.
lit vas Harris who wet-blan-
kkted the proceedings in the
Skth, after he had walked fol-
ldwing Ellerbe's whiting. O'Neill
f}ised a fly to right and Harris,
f4iling to watch the ball, tore
ktound past second, and was
headed for third when he discov-
ffed it had been caught. An easy
Hpuble play at first was the re-
1tlt.
tlPicinich got within one notch
bf the scoring station in the
Eighth on walk from relief
hbrler Tuero, Shaw's sacrifice
Md an infeld death, but was left
there when Milan failed to come
Through with third straight hit.
Roth also got life via the pass
houte in the eighth only to have
,Ellerbe hit into a double play.
O'Neill handled himself we'll at
short. He is particularly adept
at starting double plays, getting
two under way today, but still is
handicapped in throwing with a
stiff arm. When he gets his wing
in shape to whip the ball around
instead of looping it he will look
even better He makes far from
a bad impression at the bat.
Harris Handles Seven Chances.
: Harris was kept right busy at
second, handling seven chances
in approved manner, and one OF
them being the best individual
play of the game. 1t was on a
bounder hit far to his left, which
he scooped up on a nasty hop and
shot over to Judge for a putout.
ONeill and Harris both seemed
fearless of spikes, each making
diving putouts at second today
on plays where there was danger
OF getting wounded.
There is possibility that Jack
Calvo may rejoin the Griffmen
with whom he played his first
professional ball in the States
back in 1918. Griff today ques-
toned him about his affiliations
with the San Francisco club oi
the Pacific Coast League and his
intentions in regard to playing
BAH in the States this summer
Calvo assured him he was anx-
ious to play and has promised tc
learn and inform Griff lust wha1
