McBRIDE TO BE BACK
NCLIMBERS' LINEUP
Dandy Captain Explains to Ban Johnson and Expects to Play
in Game Today-McAeer May Aid Tom Hughes to Get
Umpre's Berth-Wood Out For Season.
By SENATOR"

BOSTON, Aug. 2S.-George Mcbride,
captain and stellar shortstop of the
Grinmcn. will very likely be seen in
the lineup today. Technical Tommy
ConAolly, who accompanied the Griff-
men from Chicago said last evening
before dropping OF at his home town
of Eatick, that he expected telegram
from Ban johnson reinstating Nc
Bride. With Mcbride in his old place,
the Grihmsn will go right after the
worlds champions from the drop Of
ne hat. McBride's absence weakens
the, teams defense. which has kept
the outfit up around the top Of the
list all season and the news that he
win very likely play toiay makes
Clark Griffith smile.
Before leaving Chicago Mcbride spied
Ban johnson in a box. Selling the op-
portunity, he went to him and eX
planned how he happened to be Danish
ed by Umpire McGreevey. He said he
used no profanity and had delayed the
game merely long enough for Griffith TO
send in another man TO replace him.
There had eeen a miX-up between
Gedeon and Laporte as to which would
go to second base and on this account
the game was delayed. McBride's man

SPEED MANIA DEAD,
SAYS G. v. BENNETT
Prediction of Terrific Rates For
Everyday Use Idiotic, Over
land Head Ayers.
BY HARRY WARD.

The speed mania has had its day."
says George W. Bennett, vice president
of the Willys-Overland Company. Safe
ty and sanity in the operation Of motor
cars is the one big essential necessary
to q continuation Of the phenomenal
success which the automobile industry
has seen.
''Stanch, stable construction and the
utilization of every possible mechanical
improvement and refinement, rather
speed are, in the minds of the big man
ufacturers, the demands of the day in
motor car building.
The motorists who demand speed and
ever more speed are the exceedingly
small minority OF the automobile public
the men in the industry who, OF late,
have been quoted as predicting a stand
ard, everyday automobile, which will be
capable of 100 to $50 miles per hour.
Such a prediction is ridiculous on the
face of il. There Is not highway in
the United States, nor in the world, for
that matter, on which a speed of 100
miles an hour is either possible or de-
sirable.
Half that speed is all that our best
roads can possibly stand. and our laws
and common sense forbid even a quarter
OF it. Inc idea of providing any such
sr,. ed as 100 miles an hour is not only
silly, but suicidal to the industry.
With motor cars scooting through
the country at 100 miles an hour. even
II the highways were so improved as to
allow this insane pace, 1t would be only
a matter of days before every State in
the Union would enact restriction laws"
Bruce Emerson and James Orme are
spending several days at the Apperson
factory in KokOmO They have contract
ed to handle the AppersOn line in Wash
ington for the 1914 season, according
TO information received from them to-
day by w. r. Emerson, OF Emerson x

BOSTON, Aug. 2a-Bin Donovan,

Donovan with players when he needed

away from the Grays just when he was
