WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Jim Shaw, the left-hand twirlcr whom Griffith planted with the York (Pa.) club and over whose services two or three clubs have been quarreling, is expected to join the Senators here when they return this week. He will probably be used in the near future, having made a great record with York. THIS SEASON W HEN the curtain Is rung down next month, ending the American League season, Walter Johnson will probably be hailed as the greatest pitcher of all time. The big Washington hurler has already won 30 games this season, and If he continues to work at his present clip he should have nearly 40 games chalked up to his credit when the season ends. But seven teams have defeated the tall blond so far this year. His great work has done more to keep Wash ington in the first division than the combined work of the entire pitching staff. Chief Bender, Connie Mack’s In dian slabman, is second in the list. He Is followed by Houck, Wood and Falkenberg. These figures Include games played Wednesday: Player, Club.
