In George Washington's time Alexandria-or
Beilhaven as It was at first known along about
the middle Of the eighteenth century--was one Of
the most prominent ports in the United States and
seemed to hold out every promise Of extensive
development In the future. George Washington
himself took a hand In booming the port. which
developed an extensive foreign trade The docks
were crowded with warehouses filed with corn
tobacco and other products. while in the harbor
were always to be found many OF the largest class
OF cargo ships Of that period loading and dis.
charging variety Of commodities. AS the Amer.
lean terminus Of heavy overseas's trade Alex
andria became we'll known In shipping circles In
England. and 1t was thought for time that the
port on the Potomac would overshadow Balti
more. Then came the various influences that
combined to bring about the commercial eclipse
OF the little city so dear to the heart OF the ma
tions liberaor. One of the first OF these was the
establishment only few miles away OF the capt.
tai of the nation. which speedily overshadowed
Alexandria In various ways. Then came the
building OF railroads. which diverted much traffic
to other channels, and finally the Civil war
helped to put blight upon the community
which had long been one OF the stronsholds of the
Lees OF Virginia.
But even in this twentieth century neglected
Alexandria gets ION the map least one day

with each recurring anniversary OF Washington's
birthday there Is big celebration In the little
city that Is filled with landmarks and objects

c. W. 81 like him because he plays
such a short field. He has perfect
confidence in his ability to travel
back after a ball. and the conf
dence is justified. He plays up SO
close to the infield that he is able
to deprive batters of what would be
base hits with any other man in the
position Perhaps he loses two or
three long drives that he would
catch If he observed the rules but
he makes up for that ten times
over by being in position to grab
the short ones.
