M'BRlDE AN ABLE ASSISTANT
One of Most Brilliant FieIders Keeps Players Interested in Their
 Mark and on Edge.

In George Mcbride. Griffith has had an able lieutenant It Is just of late that McBride's value to the Wash ington team has become generally ap- preciated. The fact that he was de- ficient as a batsman when compared to some other players always handi- capped his popularity, and yet there is no more valuable man on the team.
 It is Mcbride more than any one |else who keeps the players interested in their work and on edge. In addi- ton he is one of the most brilliant fielders in the game today, and beyond doubt the best man at handling thrown balls and touching base run. ners,

 T never saw a boxer improve as fast as has Willard. He's got nasty left hook developed, the short kind, you know. that does not have to tray el far to hurt And his right upper cuts and crosses are summers. He does not waste punches, eiether. and when he starts one it's a good bet it will land. There is none of the old woman style of milling with him. He did not pull punch from his hips in the 1ght. All of them were of the shappy kind that you see champions use.

TWINS in STRANGE FEUD


It was a grandfather's chair--a plain. old wood
en- "rocker'-but, insignificant as 1t appeared, 1t
was sufficient cause for spelling the best part Of
two lives says exchange. Just because OF the
chair Luke and Mathew Gregory, twin brothers,
made for themselves an existence as queer as
any recorded in the pages OF fiction. Because OF
the chair they dwelt side by side in house liter
ally divided. They gave up love, friendship and
social intercourse. For twenty-three years they
met every day without exchanging word. For
twenty-three years they glowered at each other
from opposite sides OF living room. For twenty
three years each sat In the chair every other day
and read out of the bible turn and turn
about. The house divided by actual meas

Luke and Mathew Gregory were simple, hard.
working miners. Each day they went to the
great colieries at Wilkesbarre. abored on
through the day. chatted with their other fellows
and returned home at night. Yet they never had
a word one for the other. despite the fact that
they cooked at the same stove and ate from the
same table.
The Gregorys were OF Scotch birth and came to
Wyoming valley with their father. John Gregory,

wages he saved something and through his skill

position of boss of the mine When he died.
after the boys had reached the age Of seventeen,
the lads were well able to look after themselves.
The twins had always been inseparable and the
father foresaw difficulties in leaving what he
had to them share and share alike. including the
one-andone-haf-story cottage.
When they celebrated their thirtieth birthday
each announced to the other that he was think
ing OF taking wife. They shook hands and
went to bed Joyfully. The brothers had no idea
of parting after thirty years. and determined to
pool their earnings and build n second cottage on
the lot they owned next door, or course. the
household goods would be divided Bit by bit
they portioned them out without disagreement
until they came to the chair. There was nothing
in the intrinsic value OF the piece of furniture to
provoke dispute. To uninterested It was just
a wornout old affair, none too attractive. To the
brothers that mattered not at all IT had been
their fathers before that. II was halowed by
countless associations. Luke felt that he ought

to have it and did Mathew. At first they
joked about It, then they argued and finally quar-
relied. Luke came home night and announced
that the girl of his choice had promised to marry
him

A year passed and Luke and Mathew we're no

black anger Luke declared that they would d.
vide the house and all in It and never speak
again. Mathew agreed. The two brothers set
to work silently. They drew line across the

directly through the middle OF the house. The

that 1t should be used by the brothers alter

grim details had been settled the brothers retired

years that followed neither stepped over the
