YESTERDAY'S RESULT.
Whitney Avenue. 5; Fourth Presby-1
terian, 3.
Whitney Ave. scored Ave runs In the
first inning, which was lucky, for it was
not able to see the plate after that. Theae
five were enough to win by. though, the
final score being 5 to 3.
Austin. the stocky little twirler for the |
Presbyterians, certainly was in hard luck,
He struck out five men In the first inning,
but five runs were scored, Purdy not be
ing able to hold him. The Christians only
got four hits off his aelivery, while be|
struck out twelve.
Clagett, who pitched his first full game
for the Christians, was also in form, as
Fourth could only get six safties. He was |
stingy with his passes, only g.vlng one.
Dampier played a good game at third
for Fourth, and also led in the hitting
with two to his credit. Schickler was the
only one to get a hit for an extra base.

Salt-water fishing was never better
than It is this season.
"We caught so many fish that we didn't
know what to do with them." many of
the sportsmen are heard to remark.
"If they would take along a little salt,
strike the fish and then put them away
when they return home,-' it was sug
gested, "the fishermen would have gome
thing worth eating next winter."
"But." it was added, "they are all alike.
All they think about is the question of
having sport, and although some of them
remember their friends, many more of
them pay no attention to any more fish
than enough to give theifi a breakfast."
Fishermen who have taken trips to
places on the salt water in the past
month report having enjoyed great spoit.
Numerous parties of automoblllets are
enjoying such outings at places within
a radius of seventy miles of the city, the
good roads In Maryland proving attrac
tive to them.
In order to reach some of the places
where good fishing is found it is neces
sary to pass over some stretches which
make the going a trifle objectionab.e,
but some other places are reached with
out such Inconvenience. Although there
is a stretch of sandy road between
Brandywine and Benedict, where the
Patuxent is affording sport, many auto
mobllists are going there. Last Sunday
more than fifty motoring parties were at
Chapel PolSt. Charles county, and a
number went to Rock Point. P.ney Point,
seventy m.les away, was the objective
point for a few others. At Colonial
Beach and Chesapeake Beach, and the
vicinity of Norfolk, anglers have been
industrious recently and many good
catches are reported to have been made.
Anglers have not been able to do much
in the fresh water in the iast two weeks.
Muddy water has greeted them almost
everywhere. The Potomac river above
Harpers Ferry has been in good condl
t on much of the time, but the muddy
water coming from the Shenondoah ana
smaller streams has kept the water be
low Harpers Ferry in bad condition.
"The river is clear part the way
across," was the message received Thurs
day from Weverton, and It is highly |
probablle that some of the enthusasts
from this city will be on hand tomorrow
to make an effort to land a few small
mouth black bass.
John S. Button of La Plata, Md., had
with him at Chapel Point iast Sunday
W. M. Howard and W. E. Wetherald.
neighbors, and Thomas Wright, John W.
Hurley and Mack Sparrough of this city.
He took his friends on a combination
automobile and fishing trip, starting from
this city Sunday morning at 12:J0 o clock
and going to his home and remaining un
til after breakfast.
It was shortly after 7 o'clock when the
party reached Chapel Point and boarded
a covered fishing boat. Going to the deep
water near Mathias Point beacon, the
fishermen were soon enjoying the sport
of landing perch, rockfish, trout and
catfish. Several moves were made during
the day and the fish bit so fast and fu
rious that the fishermen feared they
would leave nothing for those who fol
lowed.
Early in the afternoon the party re
turned to Chapel Point with a sack con
taining three pecks of flsh. They were
entertained at supper at the Button home
on the return trip, and reached the city
Bhortly after 9 o'clock.
Dominic Crovo and William Elliott have
returned from an interesting week's out
ing at Rock Point. Anxious to go where
they would catch flsh. the pair selected
Rock Point as the place, and they were
not disappointed, flsh being so plentiful
that they more than exceeded their ex
pectation!.
"One of the pleasures of a fishing trip, '
said one of the anglers, "is cooking the
flsh while they are freeh and enjoying
them, and that's what we did."
The fishermen took possession of a
bungalow belonging to a friend and did
their own cooking, it was an easy mat
ter for them to get chickens, butter, eggs,
milk and vegetables fresh from nearby
farms.
"And as for flsh and crabs," Dominic
Crovo remarked, "they were too plenti
ful."
Early morning trips to the fishing
grounds afforded the men all the sport
they wanted on the water, and enabled
them to enjoy It while It was comfort
able. Rockfish and trout weighing from
one to four pounds simply refused to
let their bait alone, while perch, cat
fish and other species found in that part
of the Potomac were plentiful.
Thomas O. May, with his family, went
to Benedict Sunday morning, and while
the members of his family enjoyed them
selves about the river shore, he accom
panied Martin Fraas. his chauffeur, to the
river to try his luck at Ashing. It was
about the middle of the day when they
d'.d their fishing, the very time, fishermen
state, when much luck is not expected.
Luck was with them, however, the fish
taking the peeler bait thrown to them,
and when the anglers returned ashore
they had a string of flsh that attracted
attention. The hour's fishing netted the
two men about forty large white and a
dozen big trout.
"Had they been on the river early in
the morning," remarked an admirer of
the string, "there's no telling what they
would have caught."
The record catch made at Piney Point
thus far this season was made Saturday
by a party of Washlngtonians who mo
tored to the popular resort that morn
ing. Those in the party were George
Vass, M'.ss N. E. Sweet, Miss Ruth Wil
liams, Mrs. Williams and W. H. Cooper.
From this city to Piney Point, a dis
tance of about seventy miles, was made
in four hours and twenty minutes, some
little time having been lost on the re
cently oiled roads. On the river Miss
Sweet eas ly proved herself the chanyjion j
angler, catching the greatest number |
and the largest fish. !
Despite his fine tackle says Billy Coop- 1
er, George Vass was winner of the booby I
prize, having landed the smallest num-!
ber of fish and the smallest fish that was {
caught. The party landed more than 300:
fish, many of th<?m large trout.
Ward Savage and W. D. Barry, having !
i sent their families to the seashore, yes- j
terday went to Leesburg, Va., and drove
to the vicinity of Masons Island. They
aro bass fishermen, but their tr'.p yester
day was not for the purpose of landing
any gamesters. Ward Savage just want
ed to show his friend where to catch the
fish, he declared.
Incidentally Ward went to the river to
look at a farm he has an Idea of pur
chasing. It is hie- idea that the springs
on the farm w 11 provide water enough
for a fish preserve, there being fruit
enough on the place for other kinds of
preserves and when he has plenty of
gamsters in his protected place he will
be able to Invite some of the piscatorial
experts to partic pate in the sport.
While the pair had not the slightest
Idea of trying their luck yesterday, they
declared. V\ ard Savage car ried a small
supply of tackle in his pocket, cut a pole
and soon was casting about for bass.
Suddenly something enrried his line
downste: am at a "nst and furious pace.
"A bass!" he shouted, as he started to
draw in his line.
Presently he saw something alive at
the end of his line, it was a big eel.
Not so bad after all, he thought, recall
ing that a friend he had left behind was
fond of them.
But he was merely building castles in
the air. The eel departed with most of
his line and left him without a fishing
outfit.
Joe Hunter, like many of his enthusias
tic angling friends, is tired of seeing so
I much muddy water. He was at the
Anglers Club (Sunday morning, and the
disappointing condition of the water
made him feel that he was In the wrong
place.
Realising bass fishing was out of the
question, the successful angler went In
quest of smaller flsh.
"And, as usual, he found them," com
mented Billy Cooper.
Fifty sun perch came his way and were
caught Sun perch, or "tobacco boxes,"
as they are sometimes called, it Is stated,
provide attractive sport. They are strong
1 biters, and when caught in swift water on
! a fly line the large ones are almost equal
to small bass.
George Schroth. August D. Hagemann,
William Collier. Jacob Richardson and
Detective Fred M. Cornwell were mem
bers of a fishing party that last Sunday
morning steamed, from the landing at
Mount Calvert to Benedict.
They went In Tony Schroth's Ifcunch
Norman, the owner having been at Camp
Lewis, Lodge Landing, as a guest of the
campers. George MacKenzle was at the
helm, and a fast run was made to Bene
dict.
The fishermen caught several dozen fish
and enjoyed a sea food dinner, leaving
Benedict In time to *catch the train at
Mount Calvert and reach home that night
Gus Brahler's touring car left here Sun
day morning at 7 o'clock and passed St.
Thomas* Church at Chapel Point at 8:45.
A few hundred yards farther on and the
automobilists were at the landing ready
to embark. Emil and Otto Brahler, Wil
liam Stewart, William Hobbs. John Hand
and John White went with the owner of
the car. At Chapel Point they entered a
motor boat and went to the Maryland side
of the channc* not far from Mathlas point
beacon. Fish were plentiful, but the fish
ermen did not have the right bait.
"We had soft crabs," said one of them,
"when we should have had bloodworms
and peelers, but we'll know better next
time."
They caught a string of flsh and re
turned home early In the day.
Detective Robert Howlett has returned
from a week's outing at Piney Point,
where he has a bungalow, leaving his
family there to spend the summer. He
will return there the latter part of Au
gust for another week.
Capt. Bill Jones, one of the many ool
ored boatmen at the resort, haa a new
boat, and he Is the pcpudest fisherman on
the beach. Capt. Bill, Detective Howlett
says, knows where to find the flsh, and
during hit* stay at the point he made a
number of fine catches.
Harry Darling and George EJ. Tew are
landing some long strings of fine flsh at
Piney Point They will remain there sev
eral days longer, hoping the flsh will get
larger as the season advances. One day
this week they were on the river two
hours and caaght sixty-five good-size
trout Thsy also caught some white
perch.
CONGRESSMEN TO WAR
ON WILSON'S NOMINEES
Pinkham and Patterson, the
Latter Colored, Centers
- of Storm.
War on two of the appointments sent
to the Senate yesterday by President
Wilson is today promised by democratic
senators. The nominations which will bs
opposed are those of L. K. Pinkham. ap
pointed to be Governor of Hawaii, and
Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma, to be
register of the Treasury.
Mr. Pinkham, It Is alleged, is a repub
lican, though he was favorable to the
candidacy of President Wilson for the
office of chief executive. He hails from
Hawaii, and is said to have been sug
gested by Representative Kent of Cali
fornia, who is alleged to have republican
tendencies, though he is set down In the
congressional directory as an independ
ent. It is understood that Senators Wil
liams of Mississippi and Shively of In
diana have shown a lively Interest in this
appointment. Telegrams from the Pa
clflc coast opposing this appointment
have begun to pour to upon senators.
Case of Patterson.
The nomination of Patterson Is opposed
on the ground that ha Is a negro. He
was first suggested by Robert S. Huds
peth, democratic national committeeman
from New Jersey, and Bishop Walters,
who had charge of the colored voters
bureau of the democratic national com
mittee in the last campaign. Senators
Gore and Owen of Oklahoma indorsed the
recommendation, providing It was to be
the policy of the administration to ap
point a colored man to the ollice. Some
other membefs of the Oklahoma delega
tion have protested against the appoint- j
ment.
Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, stated
today that he intended to fight "to the
last ditch" the confirmation of Patterson,
or of any other colored man who mav be
nominated for public office. Senator Var
daman said:
"1 went to the President and asked him
to honor the custom of appointing negroes
to public office by the breach rather than
by the observance. This is more than a
question of partisan politics or holding j
office. It is the great race question. Com
pared with the tariff and money ques
t ons this question is as Pike s Peak to
the shrub-covered foothills."
Charles S. Hamlin of Massachusetts was
nominated to be assistant secretary of the
Treasury.
Named as "Trust Buster."
George Carroll Todd of Virginia was
nominated to be assistant to Attorney
General McReynolds and "trust buster" of
the administration, to succeed James A.
Fowler of Knoxville, Tenn., who will re
tire August 1.
Mr. Todd, now a special assistant to the !
Attorney General, has had extensive ex-1
perience in anti-trust work. He entered
the Department of Justice thirteen years
ago and was associated with William A.
Day. assistant to Attorney General Knox,
and the government's first "trust buster.";

SITE OF NEW STORE.

RB8IOBNCB OF DR. A. RHBTT STUART, ON DIPOVT CIRCLE, SOLD TO
JOHN C. WALKER OP WALKKB-HUGHES MARKET COMPANY.
IN C. WALKER BUYS
Home of Dr. Stuart, So'd This
Week, to Become Part of
Business Building.
In a transaction closed this week John
C. Walker of the Walker-Hughes Mar
ket Company took title to the residence
and office of Dr. A. Rhett Stuart, corner
of 20th street and Dupont circle. The
transfer was one of the most interesting
events in realty circles in the National
Capital this season, because it marks the
passing of at least one side of Dupont
Circle aa a residence center and the utili
zation of the property from this time for
ward for business purposes.
Mr. Walker, acting on behalf of the
Walker-Hughes company, more than a
year ago decided upon Dupont circle as
the site for the permanent home of his
establishment, and his initial move was
to purchase from James Johnson the
two residences at Nos. 5 and 6 Dupont
circle. Mr. Walker already owned the
store which is occupied as a pharmacy on
the adjacent corner of 20th and P streets
?in fact this store formerly was the
home of one of Mr. Walker's markets.
Work Started Few Weeks Ago.
Building operations looking to the con
struction of the new Walker-Hughes
market were begun a few weeks ago
when wreckers were put to work de- j
molishing the houses at 5 and 6 Dupont
circle. When this work was begun, how
ever, Mr. Walker was not yet tlie owner
of the residence of Dr. Stuart, and ne
gotiations for the purchase of that prop
erty were carried on practically continu
ously until the transaction was consum
mated ths week. It is understood that
the price paid to Dr. Stuart for his home
was JH5.000, and the transaction serves
to Indicate the marked increase in realty
values incident to the transformation of
the Dupont circle property from a fash
ionable residence neighborhood into a
new business center of the National
Cap:tal. Dr. Stuart purchased the prop
erty about twelve years ago for $13.0)0.
Under the terms of the transfer Dr.
Stuart will vacate his ho/ne in the month
of August, and immediately afterwards
it will be razed. The Dupont pharmacy
building also will be demolished at the
same time, and*the active operations will
then be begun in the construction of the
Walker-Hughes building. This structure
will occupy all of the ground on 20th
street between Dupont circle and P street,
and it will have a depth of about sixty
feet each on P street and Dupon circle.
The Walker-Hughes market will occupy
one whole section of the structure in
the corner at 20th and P streets, with
its main entrance from 20th street. Three
additional storerooms will be provided
on the Dupont circle side, and the store
at No. 5 Dupont circle is already leased
to the Dupont pharmacy. Leases for the
other two stores have not been made.
To Build Three-Story Structure.
Plans for the construction of the Walk
er-Hughes building contemplate a struc
ture three stories in height, and a con
siderable part of the two upper floors
will be equipped for office purposes. It
has been estimated that the cost of the
new building will be about $75,000, and
with the prices paid for the various par
cels of ground the total investment of the
Walker-Hughes company In Its new
building will closely approximate $200,
U00. ?
In discussing the projected move of hit
firm to Dupont circle, Mr. Walker today
paid that in his opinion Dupon circle is
destined to become the center of the up
town business district of Washington.
The United States Trust Company al
ready has one of Its branch banks at
the corner of Connecticut avenue and
Dupont circle, and in the very near fu
ture It is believed that still more busi
ness houses will move Into the neighbor
hood. The Walker-Hughes company ex
pects to vacate some time within the
ensuing year the store which it now
holds under lease at 1128-30 Connecticut
avenue. The company will be estab
lished in Its new Dupont circle store
about November \
EXTENSIVE ROAD WORK
PLANNED IN HYATTSVILLE
Special Correspondence of The Star.
HYATTSVILLE, Md., July ?. 1913.
Of particular Interest to Washing
tonians, especially to District automobii
Ists, is the announcement that work on
the Queen Chapel road from the District (
of Columbia line to a point just beyond j
the Northwest branch, or McChesney's
corner, will be commenced within the
next week or ten days. The contract
has been prepared, and Is now in the
bands of the state roads commission for
ratification. The contractor Is I. C. Moi
ler, who 1s required to construct a con
crete road with bituminous surface six
teen feet wide. The contract price Is
$11,000, arid the distance is practically a
mile, the actual figure being .95 of a
mile. The state engineer has given Con
tractor Moller until December 1 to com
plete the road, which is expected to be
one of the beat In the state. It is to be
built under tne Shoemaker act, passed by
the Maryland legislature several years
ago. L'nuer tlila enactment tne slave pays
5u per tent of the cost, Prince Georges
county 40 per cent and the auuiung
property owners 10 per cent.
'ine money for tnis road was available
several years ago, to be expended by tne
boa.ru oi county commits.oners. Unuer
the Weils road law, passed In lyiu, ttie
management of tne public highways was
taken out of the hand.- of the county
cuiunusoiuneis and piaced in tne hand*
of the present board of road director.-.
The commissioners declined to turn the
money over to the roau directors, and at
the session of the legis.alure of 1U12 a
joint commission composed of the county
commissioners and road directors wait
created to spend the money in the con
struction of the Queen Chapei road.

Clark believes they could have been built
for about one-third of this amount. The
chairman, with the assistance of Cor
poration Counsel Vincent A. Sheehy, is
now preparing plans and specifications for
the construction of three thoroughfares
under the act of 1910 assessing the entire

To Seek Repeal of Assessment Act.
In connection with the Improvement of
these roadways, a petition signed by near
ly 200 voters and property owners in the
town soon will be presented to the mayor
and common council asking that the cor
poration counsel be instructed to seek
legislation repealing the act of 1910. as
sessing the entire cost of these roadways
against the abutting property owners and
authorizing a bond issue sufficient to cov
er the cost of improving all the Important
streets in the municipality. It is known
that at least four members of the council
are in favor of submitting the proposition
to the people. The advocates of the bond
issue claim that the streets are for the
benefit of the general public and that all
the taxpayers should share equally in the
cost of construction. It is argued that I;
Is unreasonable to assess the entire cost oi
roadways against abutting property own- J
ers.

A Pleasant Surprise for Peter
Rabbit

All the morning while some one was
fooling Old Jed Thumper, the cross, old
rabbit, who thought he owned the Old
Pasture. Peter Rabbit lay stretched out
on the warm little sunnlng-bank whlcfc
he had found, dreaming of soft, gentle
eyes and beautiful little footprints. It
was a dangerous place to go to sleep, be
cause at any time fierce Mr. Goshawk
might have come that way, and If he had,
and had found Peter Rabbit asleep, why
that would have seen the end of Peter
and all the stories about him. But Peter
did go to sleep. You see, the sunnlng
bank was so warm and comfortable, and
he was so tired and had had so little sleep
for such a long time, that in spite of all
he could do he nodded and nodded and
finally slipped off Into dreamland.
Peter slept a longtime, for no one came
to disturb him. It was past noon when
he opened his eyes and blinked up at joily.
round, red Mr. Sun. For a minute he
couldn't remember where he was When
he did he sprang to his feet. and hastily
looked this way and that way.
"My gracious!" exclaimed Peter. '"My
gracio 48. what a eareh-ss fellow I am!
It's a wonder that Old Jed Thumper
didn't find me asleep. My, but I'm hun
gry! Seems as If I hadn't had a good,
square meal for a year."
Peter stopped suddenly and began to
wrinkle his nose. "I'nim," said he, "If I
! didn't know better I should say that thire
was a patch of sweet clover close by.
Umm. my, my! Am I really awake or am
I still dreaming? I certainly do smell
sweet clover!"
Slowly Peter turned his head in the di
rection from which the delicious smell
i seemed to come. Then he whirled around
I and stared as hard as ever he could, his
ntoui.ii gaping wide open .n - >.p. i*.. !!??
blinked, rubbed his eyes, then blinked
again. There could be no doubt a!>otit it.
there on the edge of the sunning bank
was a neat little pile of tender, sweet
clover. Yes, sir, there it was!
Peter walked ail around it, looking for
all the world as if he couldn't believe that
It was real. Finally he reached out and
nibbled a leaf of it. It was real! There
was no doubt In Peter's mind then Some
one had put it there while Peter was
asleep, and Peter knew that it was meant
for him. Who could It have b<-en? Sud
denly a thought popped into Peter's head.
He stopped eating and hopped over to the
big tern from behind which he had seen
the two POrt. gentle eyes peeping at hnn
the day before. There !n the soft earth
v as a fresh footprint, and It looked very,
ve.y much like the footprint of dainty
little Miss Fuzzytail.
Peter's heart saw a hanpy little jump.
He felt sure now who had put the clover
then. He looked wistfully about among
the fern?;, but she was nowhere to b?
sem Finally he hopped hick to the pile
of clover and ate It. every bit. and It
seemed to him that It was th*? sw?e? >st.
tenderest clover he had ever tast< d in all
his life.
