That the Independence League will be

Another ball team that has applied for

is the Silver Spring club, the team that
made a game fight for the pennant IN

PRECEDENT Roake., Pleased

President Roakes. OF the Independence
League, is very well pleased with the
outlook, and as the league was the best
money maker last year another good sea-
son on The diamond is anticipated
The past season saw one Of the best
races ever Witnessed in an amateur
league in Washington in the Independs
ence League" said President Roakes,
and with the applications that / have
now for franchises there is every likeli-
hood of next seasons race being even
more close and exciting There are eight
teams that have applied to me for fran
chises, and while nothing, will be done in
the matter until early in December, It Is
not too early to say that the Independ-
ence League will have six of the fastest
teams playing amateur BALI in the Dis
trict next year" o.
Should McDevitt's Field, the home Of
the Independence League. be cut up, there
is every likelihood Of the plot OF ground
at Second street and Florida avenue be-
ing made into a first-class baseball park,
inclosed and with seating accommoda-
tions for at least 1000 spectators. This
field win be the scene of the battles
for the Independence League bunting,
and will also be used by the local high
school teams, both baseball and football.
This will AFFORD the scholastic teams
something that has been denied them in
the past, namely, a field that they can
call their own, for should this park be
built, and II is almost an assured fact
that 1t will, should the present fieldshe
cut into, plans will be drawn at once for
the new park and work started at once.
New Park Planned.
Speaking Of the proposed park. PresI-
dent Roakes said:
The new park that is contemplated
by the league will be one of the greatest
amateur undertakings ever attempted in
the District. 1t will take at least s. 900
to stare the plant, and that will be for
only the necessary structures and fixtures.
One of the best parks in these parts
could be made out of the field, and the
high schools could have a place to play
that they could call their own.
I'VE had the best season last year that
the league has ever had, finishing the
year with a good surplus in the treasury
and a red-hot fight for the banner. The
people treated us royalty, and with their
support next year, and with the strength
ened league that is an assured fact, we
hope once more to furnish a great race
for the Independence League title"

PASSING OF AN OLD LANDMARK

frma according to the plans OF the
government officers now engaged in the
work. Shortly after the close OF the
war OF 1872 an improvised fort was on
Jones's Point, which accounts Tor the
many fragments OF rock on that spot.
A small frame dwelling house stood on
the point until about 1857, when the
lipht house vas constructed. There
we're several other houses at different
nlaces on the land leading to the point
m TO about 1852 and ropewalk ex-
tended from the intersection OF Lee
and South streets east over most OF the
ground. A frame dwelling at that
time stood on the north shore. Many
willow, sycamore and other trees dotted
the point, and twas farorite carousal
for large numbers Of Alexandrlans,
especially on Sunday afternoons. The
old Manassas Gap Railroad Company
purchased the neck OF land from the
late Josiah Fl. Davis. demolished the
buildings and raised tho point four feet.
The company announced that it intend
ed TO make coal shipping point on
the property and that an Independent
line Of their road was to be constructed
from Manassas Junction to Alexandra.
The city took large block of stock in
the enterprise, but the independent line
was not built and our city suffered one
OF the sorest Disappointment in her
history.
