Washington. D. c., Aug. 3.-Weary
from travel and heat, the White Sox
battled the lowly Washington club in
two games yesterday afternoon, and
got an even break for their trouble.
They were whipped in the first, to I,
and took the second. to 2.
A young man from the navy yards
butted into the big league for the first
time and beat them in the opening
game. His name is Becker and he's
known about Washington as Buck"
Becker. Business was suspended at
the navy yard for the half day and all
of the natives of those parts came over
and rooted for the kid. The boy 5
father, who runs a saloon over there,
locked the doors and came along with
the crowd, and it is safe to say that
no youn gster ever got such an ovation
at his debut. There were about 1000
persons present and most of them came
out to see Buck" butt in.
Just what he had on the ball has not
been found out as yet. 1t looked like
nothing but smile and deal of speed
Anyway. he wasn't any more fused at
pitching to real big leaguers like Ping
Bodie, Jim Callahan. Captain Lord and
Matty Mcintyre than If he were doing
the Saturday afternoon honors with
the kids of the navy yard. He smiled
through it all and let the Sox of with
three hits, the only clean one of the
three being a triple by the fence bust

PASTIMES OF THE PAST

1t has not been SO very long ago-middle aged
mothers and fathers of today will recall the happy
happy time-when the game of grace hoops was in
fashion. Indeed, quite the rage, though of
that placid epoch it must be said enthusiasm for

Kansas City, Kan.-Within a few
hundred feet of the site of the new
city hall and almost under the shad-
oW of the beautiful St. Mary's Catho-
lie church there stands the Oldest
frame house in this city. 1t is the
nome of the Misses Amelia and Aga
tha Waller, daughters of John Waller.
one OF the early settlers of Wyandotte
county.
Besides being the oldest house of it's
kind in the city this residence has the
distinction of once having sheltered
for period of several months the
first governor Of Kansas, Charles Rob-
1nson. The Walters have learned that
he once had his Office in the front
room of the house. but whether he re-
sided In the remainder of the dwell
Ing they do not know. His period of
residence In the house was in the
early SOS, before a permanent state
capital of Kansas had been selected
His home was near Lawrence, but
business interests brought him to
Kansas City, history says.
This little house-it is one-story
structure with four rooms now, and
it used to have but three-was brought
here from Cincinnati on boat. It
Is believed that the house was occu-
pied In the Ohio city. When it was
brought down the Ohio river, and up
the Mississippi and the Missouri, and
into the Kaw, it was in sections. The
sides had been taken apart and the
weather boarding removed The old
carpenter here AYERS the weather
boarding was fastened to the frames
with wooden pins. Miss Agatha Wal
Ter thinks the house was plastered
soon after it was put together here.
Just who brought the house to Kan
sas City has not been established. It
IS known, however, that it arrived in
1858 and at that time Samuel McIn-
tyre, one Of the men who plated wy
andotte county, owned the property
upon which the house stood. 1t is
probable, therefore, that it was he
who was responsible for the house
being transferred to the banks of the
