AS a means Of obtaining funds for
the public flag raising to be held by
the Citizens Associations Of Anacos-
tia at Logan Park September 80, Sc
ries Of base ball games has been ar
ranged between teams from Anacostia
and Congress Heights. The first was
played yesterday afternoon at the
Heights, with a large attendance. A
collection is taken up among the spec
tators. The next game will be played
in the near future in Anacostia. Oscar
H. Ostermann has charge Of this series.
Anticipating the schdule time by
several weeks, the water department
Saturday turned the water into the
pipes that will supply the government
hospital buildings and the suburb Of
Congress Heights. These mains will
not only supply the residents with
water for their homes. but will be
great protection in case Of fire. and
probably the first thing to be done
now will be the installation of fire
hydrants on the principal thorough
fares. It is doubtful whether the hos
pital authorities will use this water
for anything but fire protection. as the
present method of supply Is adequate
Rev Samuel W. Graff1in, pastor Of
the Anacostia Methodist Episcopal
Church. preached a special sermon yes
terday on the proposed closing of all
stores on Sundays in Anacostia, and
urged the necessity Of making pur-
chases on Saturday to last over the
Sabbath. Mr.. Grafi1in said In part:
THE dealers are willing to close their
places of business Sundays, but it
is due to the thoughtlessness Of SO
many Of our people, who make their
purchases Sundays. that they keep
doors open on that day." He also
brought out the argument that it
would be unfair to request the drug
gists alone to close on that day.

ing to Capt. Lindsay Of this city, which
was run into and sunk by the U. 8. s.
Dolphin off Alexandria about two months
ago, is out on the marine railway at
Deans boatyard at Alexandria to be re-
built and made ready for service again.
1t is asserted that much of the repair
work now being done on the vessel was
made necessary by the damage done the
boat in raising it from the bottom, in or
der to take it to the navy yard for ex-
animation by the court of inquiry. It
was stated at the time of the accident
that the naval authorities would repair
the boat at the navy yard, but after the
court of inquiry Capt. Lindsay was mott
fed to take the boat away. and Mr.. Dean
states that Capt. Lindsay will pay for the
repairs.

the Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall
Steamboat Company to fit her with a
