the game for nine out Of every ten people
coming into our stores always manage to
switch the conversation to base ball.
while nearly fifty inquiries come over the
phones each night asking what the score
is"
Richard Street, the banker says: Yes.
base ball certainly has this town in its
grasp. If one can Judge from all the talk
that is going on about the game. and.
take it from me. that We bank clerks do
our share of base bali talk. While some
subjects necessarily tire one. yet base
ball the more that 1t is talked about
seems to increase in interest At least
l find it so, and whenever l have a chance
it is me to the ball park"
Longworth Fan.
Nicholas Longworth, the Presidents
son-in-law, says: Yes, 1 have always
been fond of base ball, and 1 seldom
neglect an opportunity to witness a con-
test
James Patterson of the Navy Depart
ment. who is one of the old-time enthu-
siasts. has this to say about base ball: In
bygone days l was secretary of the Ma
tional club, when Senator German was
playing second base for the team. and
my liking for the game has never wa
vered. l am as proud of the present Ma
tionals. 1 was Of the old. They are

before the season is over
One of the most prominent of the Wash
fngton enthusiasts is Gen. Andrew Burt.
who can be found at National Park when
ever he has the necessary time to spare.
and in speaking of Gen Burt an amusing
little story is told on that gentleman and
his connection with base ball.
1t seems that during the war with the
Filipinos Gen. Burt was in command OF a.
regiment in the far Sf
diers. as we'll as regiments of white SOL
diers, were camped in close proximity to
Zach other. and the general suggested to
some of his brother officers that they
get up a base ball game. So sides We're
chosen and teams selected. When Gen.
Burt came to look over his outfit he
found that though he had the best ball
players in the section, they were all pri-
Yates.
Still as the general is one Of the most
companionable of men, it didn't worry
him in the least that he was to captain a
team of privates. What the general
wanted was to take that game, and. with
the energy that is one of his characteris-
tics, he started in to play ball. =.
True Base Ball Story.
At the generals first turn at the bat
he made a hit and got on the bases, and
in going around to each one he noticed
the silence on the part of his men, who
did not offer to coach him, although they
made enough racket when one of their
other teammates got on the bases. Sud
denly the fact presented itself to the
generals mind that the privates were
awed by his rank. When he arrived al
this correct solution Of the problem he
called the players around him and told
them that while he was playing bal, with
them he wished to be treated as one OF
them. and that his title and standing
should be forgotten.
When the general came to the bat next

recreation and one of the pleasures of
living in Washington is the fact that /

tional sport: Nobody enjoys a game of
base ball more than l do. and l make ii

moments notice he can tell you who's
who among the ball players in the Amer
lean League. Representative Tawney
thinks Bender of the Athletics one of the
best boxmen in the game today.
Frye an Ardent Rooter.
Senator Frye Of Maine is one of the
most ardent rooters in Washington, and
he can be found at the base ball park al
most any day when in town. When
the writer approached the senator for his
views on base ball. the eminent states
mans face became all aglow, he
leaned back in his easy chair and said:
MY fondness for fishing Is only equal
ed by the enjoyment 1 derive from wit
Messing a good base ball game. Conse-
quently. whenever | can find the time
to get away from the Capitol it is safe
to wager a good cigar that / can be
found out at the Nationals park enjoy
ing the contest there. Base bali has come
to be an exact science. and 1t Is the most
manly sport. in my opinion. ever devised
for the enjoyment of the American peO-
pie"
Another old enthusiast, and IA far older
man than Senator Frye. but onei who still
preserves hts youthful enthusiasm when
it comes to base ball, is the venerable

Roosevelt the Presidents youngest son,
and Charley Taft, son of the presidential
nominee. This game was pulled off back
of the White House. and President Roose-
welt was an interested spectator and a
hardy rooter for his boys team.
Next in prominence to President Roose-
velt and a thrty-third degree rooter Is
Vice President Fairbanks. whose face
lighted up when he was approached re-
garding his fondness for base ball. He
said: Legislative cares are temporarily
put aside and forgotten when I go to a
ball game. and one of the pleas antest
moments of my life is when 1 am stand
ing in the grandStand watching the skill
and the agility of two teams evenly
matched. It's the best tonic l know Of
and the time passed in the open air is
not only fine recreation. but it is con-
ducive to the enjoyment of good din
ner.
Secretary of the Navy Metcalf is also
one of Washingt On's prominent fans. and
the Secretary makes no bones about let
ting the matter become public, for he
says:
Being an ardent admirer of outdoor
sports generally, my footsteps tend
naturally toward the Washington base

The most prominent base ball fan in
Washington is President Roosevelt. and
but few visiting clubs ever come to town
without calling in u body on the chief
executive. and the royal reception they
receive at the White House fronp the
President serves to gladden. the cookies of
their hearts.

While the base ball fever is rampant all
over Washington. and without respect to
creed or color, and while 1t has succeeded
in thoroughly injecting every government
employee in the city. yet in the District
office the base ball fever is at blood heat,
and fan looking for an argument con-
corning the great national pastime can
surely be accommodated down at the de-
partment presided over by the three Com
misSoners.

''The Original Office Boy
Francis Nye, one of the District as

as to his liking for base ball, threw up
his hands eXpressively as he cried out:
