are being asked by the fans of the
capital. They halted with satisfac-
tion his elevation to the job of team
leader. no dissenting voice being
raised to furnish a discordent note in
the chorus of approval sounded when
1t was announced that his long and
faithful service in the ranks was to
be rewarded by putting him in charge.
But among those who make major
league base ball possible for Wash
ington by the support they render at
the gate are many who are skepti-
cal as to whether the change in
management is bona-fide or merely
nominal, actual or just ostensible.
Admit Mac Is Qualified.
They are willing to concede that
Mcbride, because of his long connec-
tion with the game and undoubted
base ball brains. is we'll qualified for
the task he has tackled. and are con-
WINGED that he enjoys the respect and
confidence of the players and. if un-
hindered, possesses the qualities of
leadership in sufficient degree TO sue
coed. 1t is as to whether he will be
given the unrestricted authority that
q man must have in order 10 make

They doubt. for instance. whether
Clark Griffith. who voluntarily re-
1inquished the management in favor
of Mcbride, will be able 10 sit in the
grandstand like an ordinary rooter
and accept with equanimity what
ever may transpire. They doubt
whether the club president, after
more than a score of years devoted
to the active direction of athletes on
the diamond, will be able to remain
in the background. and even though
his intentions be of the best, refrain
from advising or directing when some
situation arises in which he is con-
WINGED that the proper thing to do is
at variance with the judgment of the
man intrusted with the job of for
mulating and executing strategy.
Grin Says He'll Not NEEDLE.
It is, perhaps only natural. in view
of the circumstances. that the fans
should entertain doubts as to the
scope of authority to be given Nc
Bride, but according to Griffith, there
are no grounds whatever for appre-
henSion on that score. He made it
to have only one manager and that
Mcbride will not be interfered with !
in any respect in handling the team.

What are we going to do about it?
l know a dozen well posted sporting
men who firmly believe that even the
sports which pretend to be clean are
really honeycombed and it will take
but a single disclosure and the re-
sulting quarrels to precipitate other
big scandals.
Only One Remedy.
Yet there are thousands of big.
straight-thmking sportsmen in this
country who would do anything in
their power to clean up the situation.
They form a caste upon which de-
pends the future of sport. have talk
ed with hundreds of them who are
ready to go the limit to check the
gambler and the athlete who sells his
ability for crooked purposes.
To the writer there seems to be one
way in which to attack the insidious
gets most of his revenue from the
persons who place big bets. Now. II
every sportsman pledged himself for
a year not to wager over ten dol
lars on any single sporting event the
gambler would be stalled.
Previous to the base ball scandal,
no one would have dreamed. except
those who had seen something Of the
inside, that players would jeopardize
their future in any such way Every
one believes that these men did not
go out and seek to sell their talents.
but that the approaches came from
the gambling fraternity, and from
trouble. which has eaten like a can
Ger into every sport that 1t has at
tackled in earnest.

Catholic University tribe fell on the

handler. and scattered them to the
four corners Of the field. When the
