Special Dispatch TO The star.
PHILADELPHIA. December 23.-'Give
him two years more and everybody in
the country will say he's the best short
stop in the business
Him is John Joseph Barry, the IA
nous shortpatcher of the worlds cham
pions The quotation marks bounding
the phrases are due to the fact that
Billy Murray. former manager OF the
Phillies. and now scout for the Pits
burgh team, is the author of the state
ment.
Murray. discussing matters in general,
took up the matter of shortstops. II was
while he was talking about this species
of infielder that he remarked about the
ability of Barry
''You look that infield over" he said
land you'll find that Barry is the key
to the whole business. That may seem
funny to a lot Of people. but that's my
opinion. He's always doing something
always in front Of the ball, and he does
the right thing at the right time.
There's none of the fiashy stuff about
Barry. He covers all the ground In
sight and he gets over it SO easy ant
in such a soft manner that people dom
see how really great that kid is. II HI
ran all around the ball. stood on hi.
head and made a lot of work out of al
easy chance people would scream theil
lungs out and think that was grea
work.
But the fellow on the inside know
differently. He watches a guy all thu
time, sees how he handles himself, see
whether he gets in front of the ball
| whether or not he lands in position

MURRAY THINKS BARRY ONE
OF GREATEST SHORTSTOPS
Believes Athletic Star Will Be at His Best
in About Two Years-L
Not Flashy Player.

to throw well. Barry does all of that
stun. and does II easily.
Covers Lots of Ground.
He covers as much ground as any
shortstop in the business. He can come
up on the ball, he can go back on the
ball. he takes them on either side and
he has as fine whip as any player In
the business.
Hes always pulling something. too.
And he always does it at the right time.
just when it's needed and just when
il is the only thing to do. That's what
like about Barry; he always does the
one thing that is needed when II IL
needed.
Take him at the bat He may not
hit more than 80 for a season. But he
puts that 30 average to more gain Tor
| his club than half the 300 hitters. Take
| a tight game when somebody Is needei
! in the pinch. Who's there? Barry. sure
| as you live. You know the Athletics
are a grand ball team: a wonderful bal
team
well. / think that Barry is the best
man on the team ! know people may
not agree with me, but that's my optn-
| ion: he's the best man on the team.
Two years ago people didn't realize
he was alive. did they? No. they didn't.
This year they began to see what
wonder he was. Well i'm two years
everybody will be touting him as the
| greatest shortstop in the business.
| Barry is one of those chaps that you
| have to see every day to know how
| much he is worth. You can't see him
once a month and get q line on his val
out, and he's bird. Give him two
| years more and everybody in the coun-
Try will say he's the best shortstop In
! the business"

GEORGETOWN BASKET BALL.
Paragraphs About Players and
Team

The Yale basket ball team will not play
Georgetown during the holidays owing to
the refusal of the dean of Yale Uni
versity to allow the auint to play more
than one game during that period. AS a
result Yale will not make an appearance
in this city this season, but will, how
ever, play the Naval Academy quint. al
Annapolis, next Saturday.
The Georgetown five has discontinued
practice during the holidays, but will re-
sumo work January 2, in preparation

George Collifower, the guard, had his
hand taken out of the plaster cast yes
terday and will be able to start practice
with the remainder Of the squad imme

Cant. Gibson, who has been suffering
with grip. will undoubtedly be all righ
in time for the game with the Mary
landers.

CUT CORNERS OFTEN.
Offense Becoming Frequent on the
Indoor Tracks.

NEW YORK, December 23.-The Of
lenses of corner cutting on indoor tracks
have been so numerous and so glaring OF
late that the A. A. u. authorities have
planned a new rule to remedy the evil.
1t is that sanction for games be withheld
from clubs holding meets on tracks not
having a wooden border. Although the
majority of the armory tracks around
have been in commission nearly score
of years, it is a remarkable fact that only
a few have been fitted with wooden Dor
ders, and these would not nave neen SO
Constructed but for the fact that some
claims made for records had been secuted
when it was known that there was no
edge to the tracks.

tingent on the awarding Of the grand

this city that the grand prize VIII 60

WANTS AMENDMENT
STRICKEN OUT
Commission Declares Railroad is Max
ing Ample Money For
Dividends.

Washington, Feb 25.-The Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad system, both
as regards finances and earning ca
pacity, is given prominent place in
the decision, through which the Inter
State Commerce Commission has re-
fused to allow that and other reads
the proposed advances in freight rates
The commission speaks of the Bal
timore and Ohio as che of the "typi-
cal" systems of the East, and says, in
part:
1--WE are of opinion that the sum re-
charges, including as a fixed charge
the dividend upon the preferred stock,
should be equivalent to between and
s per cent. upon the common stock. 1t
should have sufficient earnings so that
it may pay a dividend of per cent.
upon its common stock and carry ID
per cent. to surplus or pay per cent.
upon its common stock and carry IL
per cent. to surplus. This is upon the
assumption that the capitalization
does not exceed its actual value.
Assuming that the Baltimore and
Ohio may properly earn ID per cent.
upon its common stock after the pay
ment of fixed charges and taxes, can it
do that upon the rates now in fleet?
For the year ending June 80, 1910,
the corporate income of this company
after the payment of operating eX
penses, taxes, and interest upon the
funded debt, was s16.256OO0 The div
ldend upon its preferred stock was
$4,000 leaving applicable to divi-
dends upon the common stock or sur
pulls s13S96 900.
'T'he preferred stock Of the com
pany is per cent. nOl-cumuative
and this divid nd has been paid regu-
larly since the reorganization in 1899,
leaving, after the payment of the
same, large amount available for div
idends upon common stock or the i'm
provemeIt of the property"
