SOME UTILITY BALL T0SSEHS
Manager Fred Tenney Of the Boston
Nationals, Tells Of Some Remark
able All-Round Players.

"Just as a chain Is only as strong
as its weakest link, so ball club Is
only as strong as its substitutes" says
Fred Tenney, manager Of the Boston
Nationals Therefore. It will be
just as necessary to use careful dis
elimination In the choice of substi-
tutes as In the selection of the regular
men A few years ago. when baseball
was In Its infancy, the players could
nearly all play the different positions.
Today there are comparatively few
who can do this.
This is the age of specialization,
and nowhere Is 1t more aptly Illus
trated than on the ball field Men
train themselves for perfection In one
position, disregarding all others. Oc-
casionally man appears who seems
able to accommodate bimself to any
change Of position.
Such a man was Shoch, OF the old
Brooklyn club Jimmy Stafford was
another player almost replica Of
Shoch. When In New York he was
played in about every position in the
field.
Lowe, of Boston. was one Of those
baseball phenomenons who could play
any position on the tam In first-class
style Starting as a catcher, then go
ing to the outfleld. he made great
record in the minor leagues Coming
to Boston In 1890 as utilit" man, he
was soon played regularly on account
Of his heavy batting He was shifted
to second base when Quinn was sold.
Here he became one of the greatest
in the business. His last year In Bos-
ton found him guardian Of third
base. Again he ranked with the fore
most While Lowe was at home any
where he could not be used as a util-
ity man. as he was far too strong a
regular. During the last few years Of
playing he was used in the utility role
with marked success. His work, In
that capacity helped Detroit to win
many a game.
"Strang was one of the bright lights
Of the utility men, He reverted to the
Shoch-Stafford type. never good as a
regular. but excellent as an occasional

where with marked success. Indeed
he has filled nearly all positions for
his club, but his Is another case OF
being too valuable as regular to per.
nit of using him as utility man. I'm
doubtedly he would shine as such. and
when he begins to slow down will
probably be used in that capacity.
Chicago for many years kept Hof
man as utility man, even after he had
demonstrated how strong a player he
really was.
New York now has a young fellow
who will bear lots of watching lest he

I players. refer to Fletcher. who, In
the short time he has been In the
league, has made very rapid strides
toward the top.
OF all these men would select
Lowe as the first substitute, with Hof

Judge Says Glen Echo
Must Close on SUNDAY

Announcement of Manager L. b.
Schloss that he would open Glen Echo
Amusement Park next Sunday was dis
credited this morning by Judge Joseph
Reading, who fined the park $3.50 for
operating a week ago last Sunday.
The matter rests With Sheriff Viett,"
said the Judge this morning. ''and am
sure he will not permit 1t to be opened
next Sunday. Instructions have been
given Sheriff Viett by the States at
torney to enforce the Sunday closing
law, and he will do II.
According TO Judge Reading, the
threet made by Constable Walter Shaw
to arrest Charles d. Weaver on q
charge OF violating the Sunday law by
working as chauffeur for Judge Henry
f. Lorenz was nor carried out. and the
arrest will not be made.
That would be carrying the thing too
far" said the judge this morning. THE
chauffeur was at court yesterday when
l took up and dismissed the Lorenz
case. Shaw was present at the time.
II he had been intending to prefer
charges against the chauffeur he would
have done II then"
Another case Of violating the Sunday
closing law is to come before Judge
Reading next Monday by reason of the
arrest OF Samuel Case, Mates jackson,
and Mopcunus Fisher, charged with
selling CHARS and soda water at the
Great Falls Hotel last Sunday. The
warrants have been sworn out by Con-
stable Shaw. and will be served TO-DAY.

Policeman's Political
Boom. StirS Comrades

Harry Hughes, the policeman politi-
clan, will take his place as traffic Of
ficer at Fifth and G streets northwest,
to do his trick tonight, just as though
his announcement that he would run
for the Republican nomination to the
Maryland legislature in Prince George
county, Md. hadn't set the whole de-
partment talking of his political aspi-
rations.
Hughes, for twelve years has lived in
Branchville Md, and two years ago
just tried out his strength as a political
possibility. He missed his nomination
by one vote. Now, Hughes says, since
he has been assured that he can carry
some of the Democratic votes at the
primaries, he thinks he can make up
that lone vote he needed last time, and
is going out after the nomination.
Hughes has been on the police force
for many years, but the fact that he is
the guardian or the safety of citizens
at one of the most congested transfer
crossings in the city, did not hinder him
from putting his savings into q business
venture, and he is the senior member
of the firm of Hughes & Duvall, at
Branchville.
Hughes is a native Of Hartford county,
Md, and is a member Of one OF Mary
lands oldest families.
