Boom In Rainier
Valley Property

The residents and property own
trs in the district al the head of the
Rainier Valley. especially along
Rainier avenue from Jackson TO At
lantic streets. are considerably OK
cited and much elated over the re-
cent rapid rise in real estate values
in that section. Several lots have
recently been sold at sl.275.0O each,
a figure which Is $50 per cent OF
their cost less than a year ago. Of
fers of 100000 and s2.5000o for
double corners have been refused,
and one owner has declined S5,-
500 90 for four lots which cost him
less than 100000 two years ago.
AS rule the holders OF property
are firm in their determination not
TO sell out now. but 20 remain where
they can profit further by the rise
which IL bound TO come.
The Iewls-Littlefield Company, OF
20 Halter building. which Is exclu-
aive agent for the property, has only
very few Boulevard lots loft and
in view of the greatly increased de-
mand and the corresponding rise
in values. has raised its price from
$4,000 60 100000. at which figure
several OF the remaining lots have
been spoken for.
The apparent certainty OF the
Jackson street regrade, and the
other Improvement work which is
now being done in the vicinity of
the Boulevard. seem to be the chief
reasons for the real estate move
mont.
II Is said that Sixteenth avenue
south, which lies just one block west
of the boulevard. is on the eve of
an awakening even greater than
that of the Boulevard. in compari-
son TO its previous very quiet his
tory. AZ present. prices have not
risen, owing To the abundant sup
ply OF vacant property which fully
meets the Increased demand. Those
who claim to know. however. are
predicting that the present figures.
about one-third of Boulevard prices.
are going to take a big Jump as soon
as tho visible supply OF market
able property grows a little less.

..ON THE DIAMOND.
What's Going on in Base Ball Circles and Notes Of
Interest to the Enthusiast Of the Game.
Brownwood and BalIinger.

The Brentwood and Ballinger
teams came in from Ballinger
on Thursdays train for a series
of 3 games on the local diamond.
The games were not Il success
from a financial standpoint or
otherwise. The wrong start was
made. In fact the combination
was bad. Brownwood's team was
too strong for that of Ballinger
as it is now composed.
THURSDAYS GAME.
Thurs days game was an inter
esting one,-for a few minutes
only. Steffins in the box for
Brentwood did good twirling and
his victory over Ballinger was a
foregone conclusion after the
third inning. Truett in the box
for Ballinger did good work bat
had slim support and went to the
bench in the third. Huff, of
Corsicana, was substituted. Huff
does good work but is rather light
in weight. The support given
him was even worse than that for
, his predecessor. In fact Balm
ger seemed to lack energy and
team work. The score was 16 to
/ in Brownwood's favor with all
the distinguishing features of the
games on Brownwood's side
Dwight Hunter umpired and q
fair crowd was in attendance.
FRIDAYS GAME.
With Dupree doing the twirling
for them Brentwood won another
easy victory Friday. Ballingel
put Adams in the box but Adams
couldn't dodge the sticks in the
hands of Brownwood's hitters
Dupree had the game coming hi:
way almost from the very first
toss of the ball although the first
two innings were fairly interest
ing, After the second however
the game was tiresome but let il
be said to the credit of the Brown
wood team that even after the
score was safely in their favor
they "played ball" just the same.
The score was II to B,
Hits, off Dupree 7, off Adams
