M'BR|DE'S RECORD
FOR TOUCHING OUT
RUNNERS IS GOOD
Many Shortstops and Second
Basemen Are Weak
at That.

Among the baseball men George Nc
Bride. shortstop of the Washington
Americans. has the reputation Of being
one Of the best infielders in the country
when IL comes to touching base runners
with the ball. This Is one failing which
most second basemen and shortstops
have, and there could be no greater
weakness, for 1t not only makes base
running easier, but 1t has a detrimental
effect on the catchers. Infelders who
lack the ability to touch runners often
lose base stealers on perfect throws
from the catchers. and II is hard to
figure how great a handicap II Is to q
team when this happens.
Mcbride. however, has the play down
TO perfection. No matter where the ball
Is thrown, he always gets II on the
runner, and what Is most remarkable Is
the fact that he has never been serious
ly injured in the four years he has
played. Mcbride, barring one season,
when he missed the first two games be-
cause OF illness, has played in every
scheduled game for the Nationals.
in the country, for with base runners
sliding into second feet first. the work
of the man covering land Mcbride does
most of II for the Washington team) is
decidedly dangerous, and II requires a
lot OF agility. together with nerve, to
make the play and come out unharmed.
There is one other play in baseball
he is considered the master of all 9TH
ers. 1t Is the breaking up of the at
tempted double steal. Other shortstops
make this play occasionally. Mcbride
has failed but once since he has played
in Washington.

GOTHAM FANS NEVER
FORGOT EVERS FOR
REMINDING UMPIRE
Fred Merkle, the Man He
Got, Is Still His
Friend.

They're never forgotten me at New
York." says little Johnny Evers, OF the
Cubs. You may remember that II was
Evers who called the touching second"
play at the Polo Grounds which lost the
Giants the pennant few years ago.
Il see New York critics say I'm fall
ing Off" says Evers. II made one bad
play against the Giants in Chicago and
now a reporter comes out saying that
Chance needs a new ball club when
Evers starts pulling bonehead plays.
There isn't a Giant player or one who
ever wore a Giant uniform who has
forgiven me for calling the umpire's
attention to Merkle's blunder that IA
nous day.
Every time we play the Cardinals
Manager Bresnahan tries to hand me
something or bawl me out. You see he
played with New York for years.
And here's the strangest thing about
it all. Fred Merkle, the man got that
day, Is probably my best friend on the
team. He always has a pleasant word
for me-has proved himself grand ball
player by sticking after making that
blunder which cost a flag and getting
back into the affections OF New York
Mighty few men who could stand the
panning he got for a few years. Being
called 'bonehead' for that period GER
tainly brings out the fact whether a
man is a gutter or not.
without intending to be egotistical,
think [ am in a position to tell whetn-
er Merkle is game. because IL was my
play that put him in bad. And l free.
ly and gladly say that Merkle is one
of the earnest men and best ballplayers
who ever entered players gate. I'm
mighty glad to be able to say this af-
ter all these years.
Another Giant who is clean cut and
a mighty fine fellow is their captain,
Larry Doyle. Larry is one of the best
second baseman who ever lived and
doesn't spoil it by being a crab. He
doesn't hold that Merkle incident
against me But. say-when ! go to
New York have to look out for my.
self II ! ever do any bone headed
work they'll get after me, and don't
you forget It,"

ROGER BRESNAHAN
IS AGAINST WOMAN'S
+. CONTROL OF THINGS
Cardinals Manager Most
Rabid Anti-Suffragist
in Country.

ST. LOUIS. MO-. Aug. 3-The angriest
manager in the big leagues, and the
mostt ardent anti-suffragist In the
country is Roger Bresnahan. manager
OF the st. Louis Cardinals, a club
which is owned and controlled by a
woman.
Bresnahan had arranged two trades
with Cincinnati, and in both instances
was overruled by Mrs. Britton. the
owner of the club. who recently vindi-
Gated her right to control through an
action in the courts.
Hereafter i will have nothing to do
with the upbuilding of the club" de-
clares Bresnahan. Mrs. Britton can
make ALL the trades. sign all the re-
cruits and make all the releases.
will work only with the material she
hands over to me. I have been criti-
cised for deals that have been made
l now make this statement to prove
that have not been the one at fault
l do not want to shoulder the blame or
a woman, but truth compels me to take
this action"
The killing of the trade, which would
bring Mitchell. Egan and Mcdonald to
the Cardinals, in exchange for Huggins
and Ellis. was the one that forced
Bresnahan into print.

BY SENATOR"

While 1t has not been determined
that there is to be a series this year
between the American League pennant
winners and a picked team, 1t is quite
within the realms of possibility that
a few games may be played and Clark
Griffith has been mentioned favorably
as the leader of the all-star aggrega-
ton. When asked about this, Griffith
said today that he would be delighted
he wouldn't have to add many stars
to his own club to make the winners
hustle.
"Of course, I haven't admitted that
we won't win the flag, you know" said
the Climbers leader, but If we don't,
and any all-star series is to be played.
I'd just as soon manage the picked
team. I wouldn't have to add many
to my own team, either, to have an all

to me yet and I'm not in the habit OF

Connie Mack, manager of the Ath-
letics. has also been suggested to lead
the picked team against the winners.
Have Little Time.
The pennant winners will have little
time this season for their ali-star series,
II they play in one. Both major leagues
close their season on the same day this
year, Sunday, October s. Eastern clubs
end their campaigns day earlier, the
Climbers closing in New York: rk., The he
Thursday, October 10. thus leaving but
three days at the most for an all-star
series 1t is expected that some action
on the matter will be taken within
So sure is Jimmy McAleer of landing
the banner that he has issued a pro-
nunciamento to the fans of Boston that
those with the largest number OF rain
checks will receive the best seats at the
worlds series games to be played in the
Hub He believes this the best method
for giving the tickets to the real sup
porters of the Red Sox. Consequently
rain checks are at premium today In
Boston.
Barrows Comes Back.
Roland Barrows, the crack sluggine
outflelder of the Jersey City club, has
been recalled by the White Sox, and is
expected to take Jimmy Callahan s
place In left field He will report to the
Sox August 80 and enter the game at
once. In the International League Bar

Barrows has received two trials with
the Sox, but on each occasion he
has been found wanting in finish and
has been sent back to the minors. 1t is

On account Of the novelty of nine

the Gillums had not engaged in a game
for from seven to fifteen years. ]. H.
Gillum struck out ten batters and yield
ed five hits. while Harry II. caught a
fine game after ten years out of the
position, and Hugh ii. put up a splendid
game at short. The Gillums kept their
opponents from filing the bases at any
stage during the game, and succeeded
once themselves in getting three men
on"
The team is as follows:

Martin Sheridan and Jim Thorpe. con-
sidered the best all-around athletes in
the world, are to come together in a
series of events in field and track

Thorpe in good stead. as Sheridan is
years older and not in the form which
once characterized his performances.
Thorpe should easily win, as the Indian

ball clubs in several ways, and the
good luck of the Red Sox was shown
yesterday by their being able to play
while the Mackmen and the Climbers
were resting. Double-headers are gen.
orally split, and, II that is the case in
Philadelphia and in this city today, the
sox will have gained another full game

PURGE HE COMMITTEE.

What seems like putting the national republican committee to an un- necessary task is the position taken by number of the national committeeman who either remain mute or maintain belligerent atti- tude against the organization to which they were chosen. Named for an i'm portant purpose of conducting the national campaign. it was their duty either to have accepted and gotten into the harness in behalf of the party or to have declined the election. Sev- erai have without even resigning taken up the bull moose cry and it now becomes necessary to purge the committee of those members. It is Inc proper action to be taken and the committee is fully justified in its de- termination. ty
 There can be no protest from cer- ain of the men who will be dropped Ind 1t is doubtful if the others can bhow that they are not acting as trait prs to the cause The point is the paSne as in many of the state organ lzations. It is impossible for man 10 serve both parties and be faithful to both. If they are republicans, they cannot longer be in the third term party. The desire to pull the strength from both is leading some to pursue the double path and the national com / mittee is wise in making the break. It ought to have come voluntarily in the form of resignations and not re- duire any action by the committee ex- cept the filling of vacancies, It is i'm perstive that every member of the committee should be loyal, Interested worker. It is no place for straddler.

THE FATE OF THE ALLeNs.

Virginia has done nobiy to vindicate itself against the outlawry of the state which the Allen gang few months ago brought into such prominence, Two members of the family who shot up the Hillsville courthouse in their determination not to abide by the yer dict of the court have been sentenced to death because. of their crirnes This carryig out of the laws of jus tice will be a wholesome lesson to every locality which considers itself law unto. itself and demonstrate that the course of justice is trueA speedy and sure.
 In the trial of the captured men they were given every opportunity of prov ing their innocence, though it was of course an impossibiiity. Their guilt was plain, their own action and defi- ance of all regard for the law aided the prosecution; in fact, they brought the trouble upon themselves, and with a result that left no doubt of its be- Ing premeditated- They wrote their own death warrants when they gave way to their passions and anger in their taunt at law and order. Vir- ginia was obliged to devote every pos sible energy to their capture and their punishment, and she has shown that justice there is not to be trifed with, but must be respected. Their crime must be expiated by death in the electric chair and it should mark the end of outlawry in civilized communi
 ties.
