Shortstop or third base.
A Regular
But the next season was to see
him blossom forth into a full
fledged regular-a fighting, snarl-
ing. aggressive gamecock in a
battling. staggering ball club that
swept all opposition before it. A
team that looked and acted like
the rulers Of the baseball world,
both on and off their field.
The Orioles had joined the Ma
tional League during the winter,
and into this 12-club maelstrom
the 19-year-old McGraw plunged,
with all the fire and enthusiasm
that had marked his three years
of baseball. The rise to the big
league had not dimmed his cocki-
ness-if anything, it had added
confidence and knowledge to an
impetuous, headstrong youngster,
who believed himself the greatest
ball player in the game.
McGraw started that season on
the bench, but near the middle of
the schedule he broke into the
lineup as a regular, not to be re-
placed until the call came for him
to rise to greater heights as man
ager of the New York Giants.
YanIon Shifts Mac
NeG Hanlon was the manager Of
the Orioles; smart baseball man
and a famous star of years before.
To his experienced eye, the young
Irish lad presented great possibili-
ties, and when he did earn a regu-

RAIL LOAD|NGS
DROP IS SEEN

Carloadings for the country as a
whole in the week ended February
"a, to be reported late today, prob
ably will total around $4,000
cars, against 598,896 in the pre-
ceding week, it is estimated.
A total of around $4,000 for
last week would form tit per
cent of the 15-year average,
against 1873 per cent in the week
ended February IT.
Heavy storms and cold in the
Eastern section were responsible
for the drop in rail traffic. Con-
tinuation of the cold spell likely
will bring about an increased coal
movement to fill dealers depleted
stocks.

again, this time to second base.
Hanlon knew the value of hard
hitting and was even then assem-
bling a collection Of Sluggers whose
names were to go down in base
ball history as a wonder team.
Among the old Orioles was Will
bert Robinson, Tim O'Rourke,
Harry Taylor, Sadie" Mcmahon,
Willie Keeler, Joe Kelly and
Hughie Jennings.
Robinson was the catcher, and
years after was to be associated
with McGraw in the development

age his own team, the Brooklyn
Robins, and to become president
Of the club for a brief but stormy
term.
Particular Pal
Keeler played right field. OF
small stature, he was difficult to
pitch to. When the ball did come
over the plate he was a deadly
plate-hitter and a fast, brainy
baSerunner. Joe Kelly was great
outfielder and player for many a
year in the big leagues, winding
UP his career as manager of the
Cincinnati Reds.
Hughey Jennings was McGraw's
particular pal on the Orioles. A

toners and hired help.
It was the twenty-ninth ami.
versary of the founding of their
partnership that made the day
pleasant one to all who en-
tered their portals.
Future plans were laid aside by
the two realtors for the greater
part of the day as they looked in
retrospect over the past two-score
and nine years that have made
them a vital element in the
growth and development of the
city.
Announces Anniversary
Mr.. LuchS announced the sig
nificance of the date earlier in
the day and shortly thereafter
John L. Mitchell. auditor of the
firm, placed on the formers desk
the first three bank checks drawn
by the firm on it's opening date.
They were numbered one. two
and three.
The two friends opened their
first office in little suite, one
flight up. at 704 Thirteenth
street. A few years later, they
had become sufficiently affluent
to move to another location at
1915 Fourteenth street where
they We only three steps up.
as Mr.. Luchs puts it.
Their third move was their last
and brought them to their pres
ent location.
Three admirable developments,
including more than 1000 homes,
have been added to Washington's
residential growth in the past
few years by the firm.
Sections Developed
They developed the Burleith
section, the Fourteenth Street
Terrace section and an attractive
section in Chevy Chase.
During their business career
many prominent real estate op-
orators. now doing business on
their own, learned the fine points
of the real estate profession in
the firms employ.
These include Robert L. Nc.
KeeveS and William K. Hartung,
who recently entered into a part
nership; Dallas Grady, Charles
D. Sager. Waverley Taylor and
j. F. Maury.
Real estate operators engaged
in building enterprises may be
interested to know that Paul D.
Clement, of Greensboro, N. c.,
is in the city to tell builders Of
the merits of the zinc chloride
treatment for lumber as a safe
guard against termites.
Mr.. Clement represents the
South Atlantic Lumber Company
which recently acquired the
treating plant at Suffolk, Va,
and is preparing to supply treated
lumber for residential building
as we'll as the industrial building
trade it formerly supplied.
The treating process is a stand
ard one, according to Bureau of
Standards experts, and not only
imparts to lumber a 100 per cent
resistance against termites but
greatly increases its resistance
to fire as we'll. The cost Of
treated lumber necessary in a
$4,000 dwelling is about $3.50
additional to the regular cost,
Mr.. Clement said.

VIRGINIA PRESENTS
BOUNDARY CLA|MS|
State Joins Arlington in
Case Argued Before
Commission.

The Commonwealth of Virginia and
Arlington County joined today before
the Virginia-District Boundary Com
mission in insisting that the boundary
line be fixed at the present low water
mark, measured from headland to
headland on the Virginia side of the
Potomac.
The States case was presented by
Abram P Staples. attorney general of
the Commonwealth. Lawrence w.
Douglas, Commonwealth attorney Of
Arlington County, and Frank L. Ball
represented that county. Both the
. State and county filed voluminous
briefs, covering various legal phases
Of the century-old boundary dispute.
Long Occupation Cited.
Virginia pointed out that by virtue
Of prescription and long continued
occupation and possession, and the
exercise of governmental jurisdiction
over all territory above low-water
mark" it is entitled to have the
boundary line between Virginia and
the District of Columbia fixed at the
present low-water mark. measured
from headland to headland on the
Virginia side of the Potomac; and the
property rights of individuals should
be determined upon the basis that said
low-water mark is, and shall continue
to be, the boundary line.
Taking virtually the same position,
Arlington County declared that by
every act and function of government,
by continued occupation and posses
sion and the exercise of ownership
from its earliest history to the present
time, Virginia has acquired and ex-
ercised full and complete sovereignty
and jurisdiction over the involved ter
ritory. The county also explained that
the District has refused to exercise
any jurisdiction over the involved ter
ritory, and that the low-water mark
on the Virginia side Is the boundary
supported by approved precedent. both
of arbitration and decision of the
highest tribunals of the country and
by the actual occupation by Virginia
proprietors.
December II Fixed for Reply.
The commission, composed of
Charles H. Brough, William G.
Cloth and Malcolm S. McConihe,
fixed December II as the date on
which the Government should file its
brief in reply to the arguments of
? Virginia and Arlington County. 1t
also decided to begin at that time a
series of daily public hearings.
Representative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia who pushed the bill through
the House providing for creation of
the Boundary Commission. took a
prominent part in the discussion to-
day, as did group of Alexandria
lawyers, representing the city and
private property owners in the dis
puted territory. Smith cited par
ticularly the vital problems the COM
mission would be required to solve.
