Dear Miss Laurie:
Should a girl who is engaged to a

Formerly Criticised, Nationals
Shortstop Yields Only to
Johnson for Popularity.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

UNIVERSITY. Va, March 19.-The
indisposition of George Mcbride tends
to bring the supporters of the Wash
ington club to a keener realization of
the true value of the man who is now
suffering from a slight strain Of the
groin.
In the calmer moments of their after
thought it might be well for home
folks to reflect what a staggering blow
it would be if misfortune should over
come the one who has filled in at
shortstop for a number of years at the
Georgia avenue grounds.
Three years ago Mcbride was the
target for the most persistent volleys
of unjustifiable adverse criticism that
has ever been aimed at a member of
the Washington team. Today, barring
probably Walter Johnson, he is the
most admired of the Griffmen.
No man has ever served a ball club
more faithfully than the present field
leader of the Nationals. Under Can
tillon and McAleer and Griffith, Nc
Bride has played consistently we'll.
Never a great hitter. he rates among
the best fielding shortstops in the busi-
ness, and even in batting he has earned
high rank because of the timeliness of
the singles and the doubles that he
has pounded out when there were run
ners within the scoring zone All this
has been seen by those in the stands,
and IL was McBrides persistency when
under fire that turned the tide of
enmity to one of admiration.
But in another capacity Mcbride has
served better than the fans know AS
captain, he is the directing genius of
the infield that is now considered, de-
fensively, as strong as any in the
game. In receiving throws and putting
the ball on his man he Is without
peer: is extremely well liked by the
men who work with him and is per-
haps as popular, among rival players
as any one in the league.
The fans. indeed, have food for re-
fection when they see McBride's name
missing from the batting order and
the day that ne is lost to the Wash
ington club will be q sad one.
NO one knows better than myself
what George Mcbride has done for us
when we have been working our way
first lieutenant today. When a man
is in his prime. as I believe Mac is,
don't like to think of the future. but
YOU can take II from me the Wash
ington club will not soon forget how
well and faithfully he has served"
