STRESSES PLIGHT
/ OF VOTELESS CITY
Commissioner Bell Tells Con-
vention of Washington's
Method of Functioning.

The plight of voteless Washington,
unable to have a voice in the spend
ing of the city's money particularly
by the National Capital Park Com
mission, composed of non-re esidents of
the Capital. was laid before the
National Brick Manufacturers last
night at the Raleigh Hotel by Engl-
neer Commissioner J. Franklin Bell.
Col Bell said the park commission
could spend tbs taxpayers money
without his having a voice in the
matter and appealed to the delegates
to the convention to Sympathize with
the voteless condition of the District.
Washinetonians, however, he said,
are perhaps as well off under the
present form of city government as
If they had a vote in the selection of
the city heads. The Commissioners,
in the belief of Col. Bell. are as close
TO the people and cater to their
wishes as responsively as would
elected officials.
Large Industries Not Sought.
Competition In industrial and COM
mercial enterprises should not be at
tempted in the National Capital, Col.
Bell said Ndactarins that such COM
petition shouid- he left TO large cities
already established and recognized as
leaders in various Industrial fields.

Senator Helms Address.
Senator Thomas @ Hefin of Ala
bama said that if the people who
come here to live are not pleased
with the miles of paved streets, beau
t1ful buildings, parks and streams
and other interesting things not
found elsewhere, they couldn't be
satisfied with anything. The vote
here would steep the city in politics,
he declared. and politicians and
others who have won their way to
the Nations Capital through politi-
cal activities want to settle down in
peace and quiet away from the scenes
of politics.
"Con gress is trying TO be fair in it's
conduct of the District and in paving
its share of upkeep." he said The
senator praised the manner in which
the Districts affairs are handled and
advised against patterning after
other municipalities, claiming that

herman. mis- impression relna lne0
with me for a few weeks and then,
one day, | called a meeting of the
players to discuss plans for the ex-
hibition tour that would take us back
North. In the meeting Schaefer talk
ed much and | discovered that this
man who had been Glowing for two
weeks, playing practical jokes. telling
funny stories and who never seemed
to have serious thought, was really
a PLAYER of marked intellect. He
knew base ball and he knew it well.
He had plenty Of ideas and unlike a
great many ideas carried by ball
pla yers. those of Schaefer were sound
and workable. He convinced me that
he was going to be a strong cog in the
wheel and l was not wrong. He
proved all of that later.
Schaefer Great Asset.
The more | saw of Schaefer after
that. the more | was amazed at his
knowledge of the game. His frequent
flashes were the more astounding be-
cause of his Glowing. He would do
something extremely foolish or ridicu-
lous and a moment later say some
thing exceedingly wise. We had a
hard fight to win the American
League pennant in 1907 and I do not
know what we would have done with
out Scha efer.
l have never in my life seen a MAJ
who loved the tight situations better
than Schaefer. He gloried in battle.
He was happiest in those moments
when the result hung in the balance.
He revelled in close games. He got
few hits compared with other players.
but most of his hits came with men
on bases and meant runs. Frequently
they meant victory. He had nerve at
bat and he had nerve In the field.
Schaefer was one of those fielders
who made errors, but never at critical
times. In a pinch he always came up
with the ball. There are several play
ers Of that type. The explanation is
that they get careless and play loosely
in loose situations. but when much de-
ponds on a fielding chance, they tight
en- and never miss the play. I have
seen many men Of that type on the
ma ior league infields.
7 have said that Shaefer was weak
hitter. and he was. but Schaefer had
the most remarkable and valuable bat
ting streak in 1907 that I ever saw a
man have and / will write about II

apparent. lie covers much territory,
ha ndles everything that second base
man should get and goes az far as any
man TO his right or left, in or out.
He throws from any position. His
greatest fault is lack of aggressive
ness, but if Hornsby were handled diff
ferently he would appear to much bet
ter advantage. Or, If Hornsby were
on a winning ball club, he would be
more aggressive. Ball players are vic

Hornsby likes to win. but in St. Louis
he seems to be the right man In the
wrong place.
Frisch Had Faults.
When frankie F'risch came into the
National League from F'ordham Uni
Versity he had much natural ability,
but little knowledge of the profess
sional style of base bali that he was to
play. There is a vast difference be-
tween the type of base ball played in
college and on the professional dia-
monds.
Frisch came to the Giants with a
good pair of hands. a strong arm. a
quick shift and fine judgment Of
ground-hit balls, but he had q habit of
playing grOun0efS TO MS size. Ma n
aser McGraw took him in charge and
under his constant coaching F'risch
developed into one of the fielding sen
satfons OF the big leagues by over
coming his fielding faults.
F'risch is fast on his feet a nd he is
considered a good base runner, but If
he followed the advice of Manager
McGraw and mastered the feet-tirst
fadeaway slide that Cobb and others
use, he would improve his base-run-
ming ability % per cent.
Among the men usually named as
great second basemen you will not
find the name of Herman Germany
Schaefer. He was not q good fielder
and he was not q good hitter. Az a.
matter of fact, I would not say that
he came UP to the major league aver.
age at either. And yet, Schaefer was
