Once the bitterest Of enemies, It
appears strange to see this pair OF
once mighty scrappers sparring on
the friendlcst terms with each 9th.

game makes strange bedfellows.
Since Sullivan settled down 10 com

years ago he doped out the mental
proposition that II would be best to
be on handshaking terms with all the
rest of the world The chip he had
worn on his shoulder for so MANY

many kind and charitable acts the
big fellow has performed in the last
two years shows that he Is sincere.
Sullivan hasn't allowed any new

and still has n keen eye for the coin,
That Is why he and his manager
Frank Hall decided to form part

Owners of Improved Property.
In the twenties John Van Riswick and
w. S. Allison were the only owners of i'm
proved property, and they lived on street
east of Az street. The first named was
then an arsenal machinist, who afterward
became prominent in Washington business
circles.
In the late forties W. w. II. Mack settled
near the corner of AZ and N street, where
brewery was soon after built and Oper
ated. 1t was one of the earliest lager beer
establishments of this section. Near the
corner was the pump before mentioned di-
rectly opposite Wheat's row. and south of
Mr.. Mack's was then large garden which
the Wheats managed with that opposite.
limits-T street-was much in grass and
corn. and on the west side of James creek
was the slaughter house Of James E.
Johnson. The owners, mostly through tax
title. were Mr.. Johnson, W. B. Todd, w. H.
Philip, and all south of P street was sold
to the government in 1857.
One of the first bridges erected by the
corporation of Washington was over James
creek at N street, about the year 1904.
This was a near cut from Carrolsburg or
Buzzard Point. in which were the twenty
buildings which were left incomplete by
the builders, and the buildings erected on
Greenleaf's Point. In the forties and fifties
there was slight foot bridge at street,
which was placed there by workmen in
the arsenal who resided over the creek.
Some of the old residents say that so SIM
pie was it's structure that mischievous boys
were wont to remove a plank or two just
for the fun of laughing at discounted pc
destrians. There were a number of such
workmen who did not walk from Carols
burg. but went by water and they were
enabled to land close to the shops at the
extremity of the point.

Death and Fire Mixed.

In small country newspaper Offices, where the copy
goes from the editor to the compositor, then after
printing directly to the subscribers, the need OF
proofreader is often felt says the Cleveland Leader
In this connection William Allen White the Kan
sas newspaper man, tells of an amusing break made
by boy in the office of such newspaper IN that
state In making up" the forms the boy got the
gal1eys Mixed with the following result
The first part of the obituary of an impecunious
citizen had been dumped in the form, and the next
handful of type came from galley in which was
description of fire. The subscribers were greatly
startled when they came to the paragraph which
read thus:
"The pabearers lowered the body in the grave.
1t was consigned
to the flames There were few, if any, regrets, for
the old wreck had been eyesore to the town for
years Of course there individual loss, but that
was fully covered by insurance.

American Language.

We Americans are great people, and ways
are devious We keep the rest of the world guessing
and contribute more than our share perhaps, to the
gayety of nations, but we'll satisfied with
ourselves and do ask permission of the rest of
the world when we want to make departure from
established customs. When need anything we
simply create and press it into active service at
without further ado. Take the matter of Ian
guage for instance. When we need new style of
expression do we send across the Atlantic to cul-
tured Oxford for it? No; we produce it out of
hand; or, that is, that portion of our people who
need it, do the producing and it generally be
depended upon its purpose effectively and
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
When the sporting editor of leading daily, whose
editorial page may be noted for its classic English,
wishes to describe play in baseball game he
doesn't take the time to state that Mr.. Dennis
OReilly stepped UP to the bat, assumed the proper
attitude and at the third trial of skill struck the
ball with such force that the impact drove it far
afied, so that he enabled to arrive at second
base Not much. He simply says that OReilly
came to the pan and on the last chance for glory
pounded out the globule for two pillows; and his
readers understand what he better than if
Henry James had taken two pages in which to ex-
plain all the details of the play The Scinlitar has
at hand the sporting page of leading Chicago
daily Which is an article on basket IOOI DALI
1t is written in style that would utterly bewilder
the ripest scholar did he not understand the game
and American sporting phraseoogy; but if he did
understand the game and its lingo the language of
the article would convey to his mind the writer's
meaning more clearly and tersely than it possibly
could have done in any other style Let pedants
sheer if they will, the end usties the means, and
if the sporting writer is only artist in his line,
with an ambition to excel his work will be appre
ciated and his sphere in life well filled.
To cite an instance of this style of phraseology
peculiar to sporting pages Tommy Hall in recent
article describing the advantage to football player
of basketball training, says
A little practice brought around the control neces-
sary to send the probate through the two men re-
quired by the ant-quarter legislation and real
throwing ability meant no extra class to football
