SHAW JOINS NATIONALS. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6 -Jim Shaw, the left-hand twirler whom Griffith planter with the York fPa.i club and over whose services two or three e|ubs have been quarreling, is expected to Join the Senatora here when they return this week He will probably be used in t lie near future, having made a great record with York. THIS SEASON \~\ THEN the curtain is rung down \/\ next month, ending the American league season, Walter Johnson will probably be bailed 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 4ft 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.
