matters can be the subject Of further
attention on the part of school man

be announced within a short time,
school managers will have an opportun-

1t is planned 10 play the games at the
Central Maine park. and as the sched-

home and 80 with the other teams ot
the league, this will give two home
games Il week. and two games away

have some baseball in this vicinity tn"

er-manager would be more satisfac-
tory. This manager viii be furnished
by the league, and has been intimated
above. will be under bonds to the off,
GERS of the league for the faithful per
Torrance of his duties.
The meeting at The Elmwood
Wednesday afternoon was characteriA-
ed by the best of feeling and a pro-
nounCed unanimity of purpose. All
were of the opinion that the time is
now ripe for the organization of live
State League, and that every one Of
those cities which are represented in
the league as it is 1t present organic
ed will do its most to support the team
that is to represent it.
j. +. Vernon of Portland, who is ono
of the prime movers in the league was
unable to be present owing to illness.
Paul b. Wreath of Augusta. who rep
resented Augusta at the meeting, said
in conversation with n Journal repre-
sentative:
1T is the aim to have the league con-
Quoted on strictly business principles.
The sky limit in salaries is not bus
mess and is not haseball-it is pure
foolishness. 1t will be the purpose of
the league to have the affairs Of each
club carried on on a sound business
basis. and then We shall not come to
the end of the season and have it
thrown up to lis that we have killed
the sport. we want to do all we can
for Waterville and all we can for each
team in the league. to have the sport
conducted in a proper manner.

on the terrace was that of Nicholas Klein,
at cost Of $1,000. and the next was
that of Robert E. Heater, erected at a
cost of $4,000. Six more buildings are
provided for. and more than half of the
whole subdivision has been sold. It is
worthy of note that the purchasers are,
in almost every case, residents of Wash

the real estate market of the city and
may rightly be considered qualified judges
of what is desirable.

The terrace is a thirty-two-acre tract,
which was purchased from Charles c.
Glover. president of the Riggs Bank, by
Mr.. Gordon. Situated as it is on one of
the highest elevations of the District, it
commands an extensive view of the sur
rounding country. with the buildings of
Washington in the distance. yet easily
accessible. thanks to the magnificent mil
lion-dollar cement bridge which carries
Connecticut avenue over Rock creek.
Connecticut avenue, the main artery of
the subdivision, sweeps northwest from
the White House to Chevy Chase Circle,
and is often called the 9TH avenue of
Washington. Mr.. Gordon sees great
future for his subdivision. which its be-
ginning seems amply to justify.
