Washington's Union LeagIers took a
Joke game from Brooklyn yesterday.
Before going further II must be re-
marked that If the Union League umpires
and managers do not make the players
hustle more the league will most certain
IS be a failure IN Washington. Games
here begin at 4.30 In order to accOmmO-
date the Government employees, which
is an hour later than elsewhere. and,
incidentally an hour too late for peace
and warm grub in the average happy
home or boarding house. If the Union
Leaguers are going 20 continue 10 pull
off contests lasting two hours and ten
minutes. such as that yesterday, domes-
tic difficulties are going to Increase in

That Union League game yesterday
was the funniest thing OF the kind that
has been pulled off here since BelVa
Lockwood ran for President. Brooklyn
made ten errors, and eight Of those
came in the first two innings, which
is pretty near a record for Il r0cOg-
niZed league with teams bearing the
names Of great and beautiful cities
Brooklyn came here touted as one Of
the best agsregations in the league,
having played together last year as an
independent club. Alas for tOutingSt
Brooklyn started Ike the taiIenders in
a grammar school league. but managed
70 take a stiff brace and made only two
more errors in the next eight innings.

With the new postofice, erected at
the site of the old school building, the
movement of business interests to the
west of Day and Conc streets, in Main

Their attractiveness will be added to

approach from Main street. With the
High School prominently located at

mendous change for the better in the
physical appearance of what is at the
present time the westerly end of the

The plans for the new p~ostoffice prop
erty are now in the hands of the gov
eminent authorities, and while Post
master John A. Alderman maintains
a discreet silence as to any conclusions
reached by the government representa-
