of the Senators,
a Wonder at Short Field
Misses Only Five Games in
Five Years and Compares
with the Great
Honus Wagner.

George Mcbride. shortstop Of the Wash
! ngton team, has made one of the most
wonderful records In major league base
ball. In the five years that he has been
with the Senator'S he has taken part IN
| more games than any player in either Of
the big leagues. During that time the
team has had the name OF only one short
stop CMcDride) in the official averages.
Joining Washington in the fall of 1907,
he started active work In 1905. and took
part in every game played by the team
that season. He duplicated this record In
1909 and 1910. During the seasons OF
1911 and 1912 he failed to take part In
only five games.
McBride's fielding average since joining
the team has been in class by Itself so
far as the shortstops Of the American
League are concerned. His average since
1905 runs between .939 and .94S and his
errors range from 81 to SIS. The only
players approaching this record are Honus
Wagner of Pittsburgh. and Doolan. OF
Philadelphia but neither Of these National
League stars has taken part in as many
games in any one season as Mcbride. The
year he entered the American League he
ranked second among the shortstops, In
1909 and 1910 he led the shortstops. and
"Spalding's Baseball Guide" for this year
places him In the American League hall
Of fame, which is composed OF fourteen
of the leading players in that organiza-
ton. in the history Of baseball there
probably is no more consistent record
than this.
Only McBr!de's batting keeps him from
being classcd as the equal, If not the su-
perior. of the great Honus Wagner. Even
in this however, he shows consistency. as
his averages for the last five years range
between .226 and .235. His hits In the
same period range from rs TO 1871 sacri-
fee hits from II to q and stolen bases
from II TO II. In spite of his low bait
ting average. however he is considered
one of the most timely hitters OH the
team.
Mcbride received his first professional
trial in 1902 with the Milwaukee. Amer
! lean Association, team Later that year
he was sent To the St Joseph. Western
League. team for seasoning. He played
second base in 1903 for st. Joseph. taking
part in III out OF 12l games. with a field
ing average OF .961. ranking second. and
a batting average II .2S5. In 1904. with
the same team. he ranked second In
fielding among the shortstops. taking part
in l39 out Of ii6 games: had batting
average OF .2jS and ranked second In
stolen bases. with forty-seven 10 his

Mcbride broke into the National
League in 1905. when he was purchased
from the St Joseph team by the Pitts
burgh club. Later ia the season he was
traded by the Pirates ~ the ST. Louis

FILIPINO NINE COMING
Starts May | to Visit Japan and
the United States.
REPORTED TO BE SPEEDY
Expects to Play About Fifty
Games in This Country
Itinerary Being Made Up.
REPORTED TO BE SPEEDY

An all-Filipino baseball team, composed
of fourteen of the fastest players In the
Philippines. will start on May 1 on a
| tour of Japan and the United States, az
irving in San Francisco about June %,
under the direction of Alexandra Albert.
| T.. +. Wilets, the team manager, ana
Arthur f. Mccain, the advance agent.
The proposed itinerary calls for about
twelve games in japan with the leading
colleges, possibly one game in Hawaii, en-
route. and about fifty games in the United
States with the class &C" and 3D. league
teams. the fastest semi-pros and college
teams in the states Of California. Utah,
Colorado, Kansas. Nebraska. Missouri
Indiana, West Virginia, Maryland, New
Jersey, Delaware, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio. Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, the Dakotas, Montana. Idaho. ore
gon ard Washington. Tie exact itinerary
and schedule will depend entirely upon
the best guaranteed inducements offered
by the home team managers.
The Filipino has made wonderful strides
in the progress Of the national game IN
the Philippines since American occupa-
ton. and the management OF the team -
confident that the players VIII make Z"
creditable showing against the fastest oi
the league. semi-pros and college teams
in the United States. They are exceed
ingly fast base runners and airt!ght heio-
ers, far excelling the japanese IN these
departments of the game.
The team, when weaker than at the
present time, easily defeated the japanese
college team that was sent TO the Philip
pines during the last carnival series IN
Manila. 1t also has finished the season
in the Manila League corresponding 10
a class CO. or ID" organization in the
United States with a percentage OF 'eio
fer sixty-two games.
The members Of this team represent
several different tribes of the Philippines
including the Tagalog. Ilocano. Nisayah'
Pampangan, Bicol and Macabebe, and, as
may readily be seen, the harmony dis
played by this aggregation Of baseball
PLAYERS augurs well for the future OF the
Philippine Islands in general A Few
years ago the possibility OF the various
tribes harmonizing was doubtful. The
members of the team are forced to use
another language than their own in order
to hold conversation.

which the management of the team Is
placed it will be necessary for all teams

ColumDa's varsity oarsmen went into

they Will live until they start for Pough-
keepsie. early In June. \ training table
has also been established at the univer-
sty commons. and every man In the first
and second eight will be held TO the strict
letter of the training rules. Although Jim
Rice. the Columbia coach, has almost a
full month in which TO get his men IN
condition, he has decided that an early
start is necessary because OF the back
wardness OF the season.
For the last week the Columbia oars
men have been able TO leave their boat
house at EdGewater only once for row.
and Rice has substituted 'cross-country
running for the usual work on the river.
This state of things has been caused by
a week of unprecedented rough water
All through the rainy spell the Hudson

An attempt is being made 10 coniine
athletic insignia strictly to the athletes
and not include the manager Of the team,
who, under the present system. receives
the same award as the team he manages
1t is felt by many that the managers
should receive some token of apprecia-
ton for their efforts other than athletic
insignia
In this the advocates are following the
lead OF Cornell. which has already passed
Il regulation on a popular student vote
calling FOR different form of insignia for
managers than the varsity letter. but the
pan Is not meeting with appreciation In
general on the Morningside Heights cam

tire matter will be put to vote of the
entire student body. and this decision VIII

DR.. Lasker Will Not Take Part
in Havana Tournament.
lNGERED AT CAPABLANCA'
Also Makes Impossible PROPOSE.
ton with Regard to New York
Raising Part of Money.

DR.. Emanuel Lasker, the worlds cham.
pion. has declined to accept the invitation
to participate in the forthcoming interna.
tional tournament at Havana. As has
been stated in The Tribune. he gives two
reasons for declining the offer. He de.
mands an apology from J. r. Capablanca
the Cuban champion, for having insulted
him during the negotiations for a match
for the championship of the world, and
he says also that the sum offered 10 him
as q retainer was altogether too small 10
compensate him for the work he would
have to undergo in a tournament and for
the loss of time.
There is no doubt that the first point
could be settled satisfactorily. but it Is
regarded as out of the question that a
higher retainer could be paid to the
champion than was offered.
His suggestion that another $1,000 be
raised in New York and that half OF the
contests be played In this city and the
other half in Havana viii not be con.
sidered. II would be utterly impossible
to raise that amount in this city, and it Is
known that the people of Havana are de-
terrn!ned to run the congress themselves
and would not think OF again entering
upon a New York-Havana combination,
which ended in a fiasco last year.
While Lasker's absence from big con.
test will be much deplored, 1t cannot be
helped, and If the champion sees fit 10
exclude himself nothing can be done All
the recent great tournaments had to be
played without him. but they proved
highly interesting, although his participa-
ton would have increased the interest "
all chess players. 1t is expected, never.
theless. that the Havana carnival will
rank among the most notable affairs Of
the kind ever arranged in any part Of the
world.
