Local motorists are jubilant over thu
fact that there is a prospect of having
traffic regulations in this city similial
to those of other cities. Those who have
handled cars in New York. Philadelphia
and other cities where traffic congestion
is much greater than here claim that
Washington is one of the hardest cities
in which to drive a car. One man said
yesterday: I'm New York there is a
right of way that is respected and all
heavy traffic is to the curb, and all light
to the center of the street In this city
through vehicles going north and south
are supposed to have the right of way
over those going east and west you can
never feel certain that it Will be OBJ
served. Pedestrians are in the habit oil
crossing the street anywhere and one
can never tell when some one will step of
the corner in front of them. That makes
driving doubly hard"
The proposed highway from Newpor,
News to Richmond which is now being
talked of will be a great thing for motor
lists in our section of Virginia." said

BY WILLIAM PEET.

Next to Walter Johnson. the most pop
ular ball player on the Washington club
is Shortstop George Mcbride, who will
captain the Nationals the coming season.
Not only is Mcbride favorite with
the fans. but he is universally liked by
| members of his profession. and also holds
about the warmest spot possible in the
! heart Of Manager Jimmy McAleer.
Several times last summer in close
games Mcbride would let a hot one
shoot past him. and once or twice such
miscue cost the game, but Nc
Aleer never opened his mouth on such an
occasion: in fact he usually said: ''Of
course. it was tough losing that game.
but when players like Mcbride make an
error you have to overlook the incident
for everybody knows that Mac is out
there to win: he goes after everything,
and-well. we all make errors, because we
are all human"
Pluck and perseverance have made a
great ball player out of George Nc
Bride. Though always possessing GER
tain. amount of natural ability, the real
secret of his success has been his I'M
wavering nerve. and his study of the
game.
When Mac broke into fast company. he
was joke hitter. but he never faltered
for second, and he kept trying new po-
stions at the plate. new ways of holding
his bat, and new ways Of placing his feet,
until he finally hit on the right combina-
ton. 1t took three or four years to strike
the happy medium. but his perseverance
has been rewarded. and the tall short
stop is now one of the most timely hit
ters in the American League As a fielder
there is not a better Shortstop in the
country, and the critics around the coun-
try are gradually getting Jerry to the
fact Among the latest to sing the
praises of Mcbride is writer in the
Press, of Cleveland. He pens:
George Mcbride. the Washington short
stop. cut out new work for the short
stops and second baSernen last season

Unwaveng Nerve Made George Mcbride Great Ball PLAYER
M'BRlDE'S ABILITY DUE TO
PLUCK AND PERSEVERANCE
Nationals Captain Taught Himself Big League Man
ners-Is Popular With Fans-Other Gossip

when he showed that one or the other
| man could handle both the long and the
short throw from catcher when base rum
ners on first and third base attempt a
double steal. Mcbride did both last sea-
son. He made the managers sit up and
take notice. Near the end of the season
| OTHER infieiders tried the play. which isn't
exactly hard one for a player with a
good head and strong arm.
THE time-hOnOred way to work this
! play is for the shortstop or second base
man to play one ahead of the other. the
one playing in to take the throw in case
| the base runner on third oashes for home.
Should the runner on third remain there,
the ball is allowed to go to the infielder
on the bag, to get the runner coming
from hHt
Mcbride played a few yards in from
second If the base runner on third at
tempted to go home he had a longer
throw to make than if the two fielders
were making the play. but he got one or
| the other more frequently than when
both infielders tried it. His plan puts It
up to one man. Should the baserunner
on third make a a bluff start the ball
was not intercepted. and the one coming
from first did not have clear sailing. Nc
Bride backed toward second as the throw
vas made and had his eye on both.
Mcbride invented the play because he
thought he could handle it better alone.
His theory is right. in his case, at least.
No other infielder ever worked the play
quite as we'll as he did"
What was the greatest baseball play
you ever saw asked a friend Of Gov.
John X Tsner.
The greatest play 1 ever saw" said
he, took place in an amateur game on
a town lot at Charleroi, Pa. The teams
played on a wet field and an outfielder,
who wore a derby hat, went after high
fly. He came to a little pond. and taking
his eye off the ball. made jump across
il.
"As he was leaping the ball struck him
on the head, went through the crown of
his hat and lodged there. The base runner
was out and the fielder had not touched
the ball with his hands. Can you beat 2"
