FAIR SKIES PREDICTED
FOR BASE BALL SERIES
Number of Parties of Wash
inqton Fans to See Worlds
Title Games.

None of the games in the worlds base
ball series, which opens in New York to-
morrow, will have to be postponed on
account of bad weather If the weekly
forecast of the weather bureau holds
good. Fair weather, with moderate tenn
peratures, is the prediction for the en-
tire week, which means 1deal conditions
for playing the base ball classic, and also
comfort for the fans and the players.
The fair, sunshiny weather and sum-
merry temperatures are to continue until
the end of the week, and perhaps longer.
The only disturbance likely. the weather
bureau says. may develop in the far
west about next Thursday, reaching the
middle west about Saturday. The fore
cast does not say when, if ever, this dis
turbance will reach the Atlantic coast,
though it is stated pronounced area
of high barometric pressure, attended by
much colder weather, is to appear in the
far northwest next Friday or Saturday,
spreading rapidly to the east and south.
The forecast for today and tomorrow in
and about the District of Columbia is for
fair weather not much change in tenn
perature and variable winds. Incident
ally, the forecast for New York is prac-
tically the same as for Washington
Local Fans to Make Trip.
A number of parties of dyed-in-the-wool
fans from Washington will be in New
York to witness the opening game in the
worlds series between the Giants and the
Red Sox tomorrow, several Of the more
rabid enthusiasts having already gone to
the metropolis SO as to be early on the
ground.
Headquarters of the Washington Base
ball Club, in the Southern Building, will
be deserted from this afternoon on, only
a stenographer being left to answer tele-
phone calls. All of the office force, in
Guiding President Ben Miner, Secretary
r. j. Walsh, Treasurer Harry Rapley and
others, will see the games. Mr.. Walsh
left for New York this morning. Presi-
dent Miner will go over tonight.
Other Washingtonians who have made
reservations for the opening game, and
who have announced their intention of
seeing several games during the series,
are Sidney West, G. S. Hillyer, Michael
keane, jr., Hugh Bradley, Thomas ches-
ley, Robert Callahan, jr, d. j. DUNCAN.

RECORD PRICE" PROVES
A MISLEADING TERM
Variation in Size of Downtown
Sites Makes Figures Give
Wrong impression.

In the account OF the recent purchase
of the properties extending around the
Westory building. at the southeast cor
ner OF 14th and + streets northwest,
the price Of 100000, which is at the
rate Of s47.57 a foot for the 4,204
square feet. was spoken OF as q rec
ord price for property in the business
section not on a corner. The term,
as meaning the highest figure ever
paid for property Of this class, was
misleading.
There has been no per foot price
given for inside property in this city
that exceeds the one paid in the fall Of
1910 by Woodward & Lothrop for the
Equitable Cooperative Building AS
ISOLATION building, at 1908 F street
This property. with q frontage of
thirty-three and two-thirds feet on
F street. and an abutting lot extend
ing to 10th street. where 1t had a
frontage of twenty Ave, has total area
of $3.50 square feet The consideration
was $225.000. which was at the rate of
$50 per square foot. The relation Of
this property to the corner piece is
identical with that recently sold at
14th and F streets. but the latter is
larger by 454 square feet. The fig
ures in the Equitable sale represent
the cost of the ground, since the build
ing has been torn down to make room
for ne-story addition to the estab-
ltshment OF Woodward & Lothrop.

The view close at hand, as we'll as the

one that can only be found along such

At the eastern end of the house the
roof is supported by pillars Of stone in
the first moor and of wood in the second
floor. forming interior porches protected
from the weather. On a high knob OF
land to the west of the house is a reser-
voir of concrete supplied with water
pumped from the river and series of
springs. providing an ample supply for all
domestic uses and for the twelve bath
rooms in the house.
In addition to a garden and dairy and
sheep range. the grounds are to be laid
out with bride paths and walks SO that
all portions of this extensive estate will
be available for use and enjoyment.
