The Western High School.
The demand for a high school for the
convenience of the students OF the
West End Of Washington was finally
recognized. and a magnificent Western
High School, the handsomest in the Dis
trict. is the result. 1t is located at the
northwest corner of Thirty-fifth and T
Streets, the site occupying an entire
square Of ground.
Time and again various members Of
the citizens association have dis
cussed formally. have addressed COM
n.unications and personally solicited
Legislative support in the conversion OF
the Rock Creek into a slightly natural
boundary between Georgetown and
Washington. or the arching OF the
same. Various feasible plans have
been presented. The one, however, that
has received the most support is the
plan that was suggested by w. Riley
Decide. which was later submitted TO
the Park Commission and recommend
ed as an important feature in the i'm
movement OF the Nations Capital. The
plan has many admirable features

The Washington times., 1903-10-18

IN THE past three years Georgetown
interests have been promoted by
three distinct citizens associations.
Their organization was necessitated
by certain special needs Of the section
that were being ignored by the authori-
ties The first two started out briskly
and accomplished much I'm the first year
OF their existence, but gradually the
personal affairs of the promoters inter
fercd so greatly with the duties their
official positions devolved upon them
that designations followed. and finally
the life went out of the organization.
The present association is the strong
est that has ever existed in George
town, and it's rolls carry many of the
most energetic and influential men of
the West End.
Organized Four Years Ago.
The present Georgetown Citizens Asso-
ciation is the result of a special call is
sued in January. 1899. by about twenty
leading citizens OF Georgetown. In the
call it was stated that Georgetown had
suffered considerably in the apportion-
ment of the annual appropriations Of
Congress, and that such a condition
should be remedied. 1t was also shown
that many radical improvements and
changes were needed and should be de-
manded
A preliminary meeting of the citizens
was held on Tuesday. January 81, 1899,
at the Offices of the First Cooperative
Building Association. 1323-1325 Thirty
second Street which were rendered free
of cost. The cooperative association,
realizing the advantages that the asso-
citation and it's stockholders experience
through the promotion of the towns In
terest. have never charged the citizens
association any rent for the use of the
halls. and have in every way accommo-
dated the organization in it's work.
At this meeting DIR. Louis w. Ritchie.
now deceased was called TO the chair,
and r. T. Januey, supervising principal
OF the public schools of the fifth divi-
sion. was made temporary secretary.
At the request Of the promoters of the
new association. w. S. McKean, secre-
tary Of the Business Mems Association,
and now secretary of the Thomas Jeffer-
son Memorial Association, was present
as was also V. Baldwin johnson, vice
president of the Business Mems Asso-
citation The hearty support OF the Bust
ness Mems Association was promised in
the promotion of any movement design
ed TO benefit generally the section west
Of Rock Creek.

feated the best there, including Jarvis

OFFICE MEN PLAY.
of Two Corporations Meet
 on Oak Park Grounds.

Employees of Two Corporations Meet on Oak Park Grounds. The office force of the Southern Cotton oMCottoR Corhpany in a hotly contested game at the Oak Part grounds yester- day afternoon, defeated the men of the Virginia Carolina Chemical Company by the score of 10 to 8. In the seventh in- ming when the game was about to end from the exhaustion of the players. the s. o. c. c. boys came in with the score standing to 6 and batted out two runs.
 The game was a friendly contest be- tween the office forces of the two corpo- rations. Intense rivalry, however, had been engendered, and the game was for blood. A number of officials of the two companies with the wives, sweethearts and sisters of the players, occupied seats In the grand stand. For the afternoon the market price of oil and fertilizer was ignored. Hands which were more famil- far with rulers and pens and typewriters briefly renewed youthful acquaintance with bats and balls.
 An expert accountant had been secured 10 look after tabulating the errors, but he failed to show up and nobody else felt equal to the task
 The star play of the game was made by J. B. Hastings of the Cotton Oil Com pany.- He went after high fly in center field and to the surprise and admiration Of the grand stand stabbed it neatly and cieverly The spectators rose en masse and cried out "Molesworth, Molesworth."
 s. A. Solomon of the same team played sensational game at second. He scooped up grounders in true professional style and he got all the thrown balls that came his way.
 The star work for the V. c. c. boys was done by the batting of Smith and Hudson. In the first part of the game Smith had the oil people guessing. He struck out eight men in two innings. Smith also lined out a cracking three- bagger.
 The game was umpired by D. W. W. Fuller and everybody was satisfied.
