Barry Is Rounding To.

Quite the happiest man in Washington
last night was Barry Mccormick. who
now feels that he has regained his bat
ting eye and will continue to prove as
much Of a factor in winning games as he
has been In the last two.
Mccormick says he feels like a new
man since becoming a Senator. that he
has been cordially received by players
and public alike, and now that he has
his wife here with him, he feels
thoroughly at home, and will appreciate
that while he is not in the best base
ball town in America, he is at least
in the most beautiful city on earth.
Discussing the St Louis team, Barry
says Il Is the baseball surprise of the
year. The team. he says. looks good on
paper. yet It has struck a slump from
which II cannot extricate itself.
Mccormick denies that any dissen-
sions exist in the clubs ranks. and that
TO a man the team is working hard. and
pulling TO win games. since all are de-
votedly attached to Jimmy McAleer
Nevertheless" said Barry. Il would
like to see washington beat ST. Louis
out. and I believe we will"

C0RBETT AND JEFFRIES

Kittredge Second to None.

Few spectators who attend American
League Park appreciate the worth OF
Malachi Kittredge TO the club. The av-
erage fan recognizes in Kit" an earn
est. hard working. and exceptionally
good backstop. whereas. as a matter OF
fact, he is one OF the brainest men In
the business. There Is never a moment
IN the game with a man or men on bases
that the sturdy little catcher is not try
ing to pull of a play" He not only
signals his pitcher for the ball he wants,
but communicates TO each and every
fielder by means Of signals Just what
he Is going to do. and the part he wants
that particular fielder TO take in the
play. He is familiar with every batter
in the league. his weaknesses and his
strong points. and It is a rare occur
renee that he doesn't tip the fielder of
into whose territory the ball goes His
throwing wing" Is a marvel. He can
whip the ball 70 second. first, or third
with the speed OF a rife shot. and is as
accurate as a sharDshooter.
Time and again he catches men play
ing of their bases by a quick snap OF
the ball. and several times he has thrown

result that the latter was caught at the

The announcement that the race would
not take place was made by John Boden.
jr., racing secretary OF the Brighton
Beach Racing Association, and was as
/ follows
The championship special, in which
waterboy and McChesney were to have
met at Brighton, has been declared off.
After satisfactory trial McChesney
pulled UP lame. An examination by Dr.
