Mary Turner What's it to you. I'd

The Salesgirl started violently, and
deep flush drove the accustomed pal

ously much disturbed by the question.

the final word she hurried off, her at

Sarah was thinking intently Of Mary
Turner after her return to the office.
As she glanced up at the opening Of the
door she did not at first recognize the
figure outlined there She remembered
Mary Turner as Il tall, slender girl,
who showed an underlying vitality in
every movement, a girl with a face Of
regular features. in which was com
pleXion Of blended milk and roses, with
all her arduous and vulgar conditions.
Instead Of this. now she saw a frail
form that stood swaying in the door

What Gleason Said
To Strunk Did It

According to Eddie Cicotte. kid
Gleason. the assistant manager of the
Chicago team" pulled one of the fun
niest bits of repartee ever heard on the
baseball diamond. at the expense OF
Amos Strunk. of the Athletics. in Chi
cago one day last summer.
Walsh was pitching one OF his usual
air-tight games. and when Strunk hit
an easy grounder to short, Gleason
started to kid the player" said Cicotte
"Strunk returned the compliment and
compared Gleason to a bit of old junk.
The Kid gave a short laugh and then
turning to Billy Evans, who was UNI
piring. exclaimed:
"'Billy. look at the original door
knob
"As he spoke Gleason pointed at
Strunk's head
Amos flushed to the roots of his hair;
tried to answer. couldn't, and then re-
treated to the Philadelphia bench.
During the remainder of the season
all a player had to say to get Strunk' $
goat was door knob
Amos would fight at the mention of
that"

Virginia Drops Third

successive losses to Catholic University

Virginia's basketball uuint dropped a
third contest to st. Johns here last
night. 81 to q. The winners were en-
abled TO win their victory by taking ad-
vantage OF their opportunities to score
while the visitors fell down on many oc-
casions.
Clean, fast playing was the most no.
table feature OF both teams work and
went TO make the encounter one of the
fastest which has been witnessed here
this season. In respect to team work
and aggressiveness there was little diff
ference in the teams. but st. Johns
kept the ball in their possession longer
than the Virginians, and. Incidentally,
were afforded more chances to score.
Lyman was the leading figure for the
losing quint, while Mellon, Wilson, and
Clayton played brilliantly for the win
ners.

0'DAY IS ANXIOUS
ABOUT HIS STATUS
Veteran Umpire Is Now Up a
Tree Over Standing in Or

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Henry O'Day
wants a bit of light on his status IN
organized baseball. This much was
cleaned from the veteran arbitrator
yesterday. as he was scouting about
key to his future activities.
IT haven't given my promise to UNI
pire in any league" quoth O'Day,
though he intimated that he had been
negotiating with one Of the major or
ganizations. President Lynch may
have an opening in the National League
staff, and can't say at this time
whether 1 will accept 1t. Neither can
discuss freely the possibility Of go
ing to the American League. When 1
learn where I am at I'll tell the
world, but not before.
so far as I have been able to
learn" added Hank. ''the major leagues
have an agreement whereby neither
circuit must make a move with the
view Of engaging umpires in the service
of the other circuit. President Lynch
of the National, am told. considers
me on the reserve list Of that league.
though 1 resigned and my resignation as
manager Of the Cincinnati team was
accepted thereby making me q free
agent. At least regard myself as
such. President Murphy Of the Cubs
also has told me that the National
League believes I should remain loyal
to the parent circuit.
Now, I have my own ideas about
this AFFAIR, and II the American League
should make an offer and I felt that
was free to go ahead and sign might
do so. But I can't act either way
until I'm Informed as to the rules gov

MANY ASK TO JOIN
MOTORISTS CLUB
W. S. DuyaIu Reports Defense Of
Alleged violators Of Rules
for AutomobiIists.
By HARRY WARD.

With Vice President W. w. Chiswell
presiding, the board Of directors Of the
washington Motorists Association met
last night and acted ON several applica-
tons for membership. The list Ia grow
ing rapidly and Is expected to reach the
thousand mark within the next two
months.
The report of Secretary John X. Heyl.
regarding the revision Of the constitu-
ton and bylaws was read and held over
for action until q later date. w. s.

ported that several cases of alleged vio-
lations of the automobile laws had been
presented to him and that he had under
taken the defense Of the accused motor
lists.
viii be at &the call Of President Har-
rington Mills.
Never, since the automobile attained
a countrywide vogue, have SO few
cars been laid up during the cold
months as this winter. Owing to the
mild weather which has prevailed in
practically every section Of the United
States a large percentage OF owners
have kept their cars In operation IN
stead of putting them away to await
the arrival Of the spring touring sea-
son.
The best indication of winter activity
in motoring circles is the large volume
of business reported by tire companies
I'VE really have had no So-called OF
season this year" says ]. ID. Anderson.
general sales manager Of the United
States Tire Company. From q sales
standpoint this is proving by all odds
the best winter have ever known In
the Industry. And the logical explana-
ton for this fact Is that owners, owing
to good weather. have deferred laying
up their cars until 1t commences to look
as though they would keep them in
operation straight through the winter
months. Our factories all have beepl
running night and day. still we haven'
been able to keep so very far ahead Of
our orders. This winter has proved
conclusively that the motor car Is now
distinctly year-round utility"

M'BR|DE SECOND
BEST SHORTSTOP
igures Show That DOME Bush
Is Second Fastest Fielding
Shortstop in League.

Ask any party in Boston, "who is
the greatest fielding shortstop in the
league?"
"Heinie Wagner" comes back the
answer without hesitation.
Put the same question to a Washing
tonian and the answer is. Mcbride"
Fhiladelphians hand the palm to
Jack Barry, and along the Detroit
river they will join in screeching DOME
Bush.
Funny how many peerless men there
can be at one position. That enthusi-
asm which causes the rooters to hang
to their own favorites shows the secret
of the popularity of the national game,
but does not necessarily help to select
the man who is really superior to all
of his rivals.
Attention was SO thoroughly concen-
trated upon the Eastern wing OF the
American League circuit last season,
and, consequently upon Heinie Wagner,
George Mcbride. and Jack Barry-short-
sopts are always central figures-that
little DOME. Bush was almost forgotten.
That abbreviated short gardener Of the
Jungaleers once again in 1872 stamped
himself as the greatest ground-covering
infielder of his time. as he did in 1911
In 144 games last season Bush &C
cepted S64 chances, an average OF six
per game. George Mcbride. his near
est rival, accepted a trifle less than 66
chances per game. Contrary to the GEM
eral opinion regarding the grounS-cov-
erine ability Of Ole Olson. the Swede
stood third in the list with the credit
of having accepted 5.3 chances. Then
followed Weaver. Wagner. Wallace,
Barry, Peckinpaugh. Chapman, and Nc
MILAN, in the order named.
If the averages mentioned in the
foregoing were maintained through a
season Bush would accept lust sixty
one chances more than his nearest rival.
That would mean that Bush would be
directly responsible for several more
victories than Mcbride.
Gathering the opinions of the un-
biased critics along the circuit probably
more than half would insist that Heinie
Wagner. that sparkling genius of the
Red Sox, was the most wonderful field
ing shortstop in the league. Perhaps
II doesn't seem possible. but travelling
as they travelled last year. Bush would
accept just 154 more chances during
full season than the great Heinie-
