MOURNING THE LOSS
OF THE BALL PARK
"Frenchy" About Saddest
Man In Capital Since
the Fire.

If there is a fan in Washington
whose life was more nearly desolated
by the destruction of the ball park
than Pierre BonseiEneur's, he has not
yet figured in the returns. This may
not mean much to the thousands OF
fans in Washington, because Pierre
Bonseigneur is not well known to
the ball park regulars-under that
name.
But a bright light will strike all of
them when they look al the picture.
showing Pierre standing disconso-
lately on the Charred ruins of the ball
ward structures. gazing, with a sad
dened heart and blurred vision, at all
that is left of his ball park For it
is there that Pierre spends the after
noon every day during the season
when the team is az home and it has
not been infrequently that he has been
about in the mornings when there
was some promising timber to be de-
VeIoped.
To Pierre the loss IS personal, and he
would feel no worse about il were he
the sole owner of the club and grounds
For there no use trying to deny the
fact that Pierre is "Frenchy"-there
you have il, and the fans know
him as the past master of the thirty
second degree in the Order of Rooters
for the Home Team.
But Pierre, it might be remarked,
could figure in the news. every
day and keep his identity hidden, for he
is known as Frenchy, not only to all
the ball park denizens. but in the tele-
phone book and other directories by the
same name.
And it is a certainty that Frenchy is
the saddest man in Washington since
the ball park burned. But he'll get
over it if the team opens the season
with a winning streak.

afforded the main topic of converse

While Mr.. Ramser doubtless knew
that Looney is always armed, he did
not apparently expect him to draw the
gun when he accosted him about the
attacks he had made upon his family.
The conversation had just begun when
Looney whipped out the revolver and
commanded Ramser to leave the barber
shop. Ramser threw Looney off his
guard by waving 10 the rear door,
saying that if he went he would go out
by the same way he entered, and at
that moment seized Looney's wrist.
Looney fired, but Ramser had the best
of him, and the beating followed.

PLANS MILES OF
REPAvED STREETS
Mayor Schriver Considering
Scheme for Enormous and
Needed Improvement.
FOR BUSINESS DISTRICT
Intends to Bring Matter Before the
Board of Local Improvements
Monday Morning.

Mayor Harry NJ Schriver is now
turning over in his mind probably
the most comprehensive paving
scheme that was ever considered in
this city He stated this morning
that he intends to present it Monday
morning before the board Of local
improvements which he believes will
fall in with him in the proposition
and aid him in giving Rock Island
the clean new streets of which It
has so long been in need. His plan
includes the repaving of Second ave
nue. from Twentieth street to Sew
enth street and thence west to
Fourth avenue; the repaving Of
Third avenue from Fifteenth street
TO Twenty-fourth and the repaving of
Twentieth street from Second to
Sixth avenues.
Is PROPER SCHEME.
The mayor stated this morning
that thus far nearly all objections to
small tracts of new paving which
have been considered were based
upon the argument that it was not
we'll to pave short stretches and let
the long ones remain in their pres
ent condition. Accordingly he has
aimed TO take IN every bit of the bus
mess district paving. He believes
that in doing this the principal argu-
ment that has been used by DIRECTORS
thus far will be removed for all will
be removed for all will be treated
alike in the cost OF repaving the
streets. The need for the new pave
ment has rarely been questioned and
with it all being taken care Of at one
time, there ought to be very few OPP
posed TO the plan.
WILL BE MADE PERMANENT.
The scheme includes the laying of
a storm drain on Twentieth street
from Sixth avenue straight through
TO the river and under all of the new
paving. service pipes of every nature
will be renewed and put in such
shape that the paving will never need
TO be torn up. once the mayors idea
is carried out this city would have
good reason TO do a little Dragging
about its modern streets.
