| ENFANT AVENUE
PROPOSED IN BILL
Representative Bacon Would
Rename B Street for Man
Who Planned Capital.

Representative Bacon of New York
today introduced a bill to rename Z
street, which is TO be improved from
the Lincoln Memorial past the Capitol,
to LEnfant avenue, in honor of Maj.
LEnfant, who under the direction OF
President Washington, prepared the
plans for the Capital City Of the United
States.
Representative Bacon said that the
development Of the Mall is in accord
ance with the original plan of Mai
LEnfant, pointing out that B street
runs along the Mall and that 1t Is TO
be improved from a shabby street into
one of the most beautiful and import
ant thoroughfares of the National Capt.
tai.
There will not be a private build
ing the entire length of this thorough
fare. the Improvement of which has al
ready been authorized under the Ar
lington Memorial Bridge act" said
Representative Bacon. THE plans for
Improvement of B street. which will be
lined with Federal buildings on one
side and the Mall as the central gar
den of the WaShington-LE nfant plan
on the other call for making this one
of the most beautiful avenues in the
world along which it is intended that
all funeral cortegeS will pass carrying
the Nations honored dead from the
Capitol to Arlington National Gene
terry.
TT is preposterous that such an i'm
portant thoroughfare would be deSig-
mated by the name of B street, and it is
most appropriate that in carrying out
the Capital development plans project
ed so many years ago by Maj. L'Enfant
that this improved street should be
named in his honor. The hundreds of
thousands of visitors to the National
Capital will be much more interested
in LEnfant avenue than they would
be in B street
I'm addition" Representative Bacon
pointed out, 1T is an opportunity for
this Government to pay a graceful
tribute to France in reciprocal way,
since France already has named some
of its most important squares, avenues
and streets after outstanding Amer
leans, such as Washington, Franklin
and Wilson, and has named one Of its
squares after the United States itself. ="

Charles Arthur THE Great
ShireS will never play baseball
with the Chicago White Sox
again, he declared at his home
here today. He will seek to be
placed on the voluntary retired
roster of that club.
Accepting, finally, the $1,000
year contract preferred him
weeks ago by the Son, Shires was
then confronted with questions
which, he said, he did not wish to
answer.
The questions concerning
his boxing career were asked
by President Charles COmiS-
key, of the ySOx.
IF ComiSkey wants the dope
on the fight racket" Shires said,
Let him go to the boxing COM
mission; 1 was not guilty of any
wrong doing and was never sus,
pended for anything I did in the
boxing game.
I'm going to ask them to place
me on the voluntary retired list,
then I am going ahead with other
plans. I can make more money
in semi-pro ball than the Chicago
club offered me-"

Central and Gonzaga have

played at the Central stadium.

No definite date has been set
for the game this fall. Both
teams have open dates in october
under the tentative schedules al
ready arranged for them, but un-
fortunately the open dates do not
occur. If the game can not be
played in this month it likely
will be staged as a poSt-Season

JOHNSON RATED
BEST BY COBB

Talking over the radio, Ty
Cobb, hero of more than $500
baseball games during his 25
years campaigning in the Ameri-
can League, declared that the
greatest thrill he ever got from
any game during his long career
occurred in 1907 when he hit a
home run with one man on and
two out in the ninth inning of a
game against the Philadelphia
Athletics to tie the score. The
game later went II innings to a
tie. Rube Waddell was pitching
for the Athletics when Cobb
made his soulful wallop.
Rating the pitchers whom he
faced during his many trips to
the plate, Cobb placed Walter
Johnson, present manager of the
Griffmen, at the top of the list
with Ed Walsh, old White Sox
split-baller, next in line. He ex-
planned that johnson had more
speed and stuff" than any man
he ever faced, but that left hand
ers like George Mogridge and
Carl Weilman with their "dinky-
dinks" of slow curves offered him
the most trouble.
Sizing up the coming flag
race, Cobb stated that it was
always easiest for a great
team, q repeat in the second
year and for that reason
chose the Athletics and Cubs
to again capture the pennantS
in their respective leagues.
Notwithstanding the fact that
he has been at bat the most
times and holds all hitting records
except for home runs, Cobb styled
Babe Ruth as the greatest and
hardest hitter he has seen. Next
in line he placed Napoleon Jajoie,
though he expressed the wish
that he would like to have seen
his old team-mate, Sam Crawford,
Joe Jackson, formerly of the
White Sox, and Frank Schultz,
old-time home run clouter of the
Cubs, batting against the present
day "lively ball"
In outlining the reasons why he
was the greatest base-stealer in
the game, Cobb revealed that he
always took great care of his
legs. In fact. he stated that he
used the old story-book tale of
wearing lead in his shoes during
spring training so that once the
season began he was ready to go
at top speed.
He also said that during the
off season he subjected himself
! to rigorous training by hunting a
great deal during which time he
wore large, heavy boots. Once
these were doffed, he explained,
his feet felt so light that he could
fly around the baSe-paths.
