day through Joseph Keane, real estate
broker, to A. c. Moses, president of the
Washington Playground Association.
Mr.. Keane received a letter yesterday
from Mr.. wardman, who has been rest
ing at Virginia Hot Springs. in which he
declared that since learning of the pub
lie ,desire to preserve the plot as a play
ground, he has decided to give the syndl-
cate every opportunity to acquire IL.
This action of Mr.. Wardman Is ex-
pected to save several thousand dollars
upon the purchase price, for it is under
stood that he has an option on the prop

as the Mount Pleasant playground, at
the northwest corner of Fourteenth street

to the purchase, is to be paid out Of the
Treasury, but the District is expected to
reimburse the Treasury TO the extent OF
one-half. This amount may be returned
by the District In four annual INSTALL

to be paid on all deferred payments. The
Commissioners are authorized TO secure
title to the property by purchase or con-

TAKES UP SPORT

The English and American sports
are beginning to like each others most
popular sport. The schools and col
lcgcs in the United States are taking
up Rugby fast and Harvard and Yale
have already asked u few of the most
noted men of the game in Britain
to come over and teach them the main
points Of the English game.
The schools and colleges in the
West have already taken up the game
and have had successful season of

colleges In the Western States have
cancelled the intercollegiate game
for good.

Onies baseball Is getting a big boost
The English sports are learning the
game fast and like II. II will not be
long before they will send team to
the States to compete with the home
teams.
a few weeks ago there were thirty
three games of baseball going on in
one day in Sydney. This goes to
show that the popular American game
is no doubt making big strides in the
metropolis.
1t will not be long before the In
tercollegiate football game will be
killed in the colleges at home and
Rugby taken up instead. This sport
has always had short series and
then the sport would he over, while
Rugby can be played longer without
much mishaps.

found that when they came to Amer

pete against while passing through
