Making Good
At Ball

At Aala Park yesterday afternoon
the Marine baseball team defeated
the st. Louis College boys by score
of to /. 1t was a fine game right
through. Hines pitched good line
OF ball and the College boys could
only score one run of him. Pedro
was In the box for the College at the
start of the game but Bill Espinda
later on took the pitchers stand. The
change was for the better, as Espinda
held the Marines down well.
The roofing was immense and the
College boys certainly did strive to
achieve victory with all their we'll
known vim and determination. The
College youths were up against a
grown-up team, however, and have
cause to be elated at doing as we'll
as they did. Baseball has caught on
finely at the College, and the st.
Louis team shows every sign Of do
ing much better work In the future,
now that they are taking such great
interest In the game. The teachers
are very enthusiastic about the show
ing made by their boys, and are
boosting the game heart and soul.
There is some very promising mate
rial at the College and 1t only needs
little time and patience to turn out
some first-class men at the game.

moval of the Washingtons from the
Potomac 10 the Rappahannock is
doubtful. but it occurred between 1875
and 1740. The Rappahannock farm
had been owned several years by Au-

farm has been variously called Pine
Grove and the Ferry farm. the latter
name being suggested by the fact that
the farm was opposite the lower Fred

George Washington's father died
April ~, 174S, leaving large landed
possessions. Whether he was buried
on the RappahannorK farm, or wheth

Washington family burying ground on
the lower Potomac is not known. He
bequeathed the old home place on the
Potomac to his eldest son, Augustine.
To his son Lawrence he left the farm
