has distributed goose eggs with free

in this line in the history of the
American league.

credit this season Edward Plank has
surpassed the mark set by Iron Man
Walsh, of the White Sox. Mr.. Plank

The wonderful left-hander framed
up his first runless game in 1901
against the Milwaukee club, then a

games on record.

Rock Creek Jumping Fields.

north from the bridge over Broad branch.
Ridge drive. and, you will come. after
gaining the top Of the ridge between the
valleys of Rock creek and Broad branch.
to the favorite jumping course of the
horsemen and the horsewomen of Wash
ington. You will see a. clearing of about
two acres on the left hand as you travel
toward the. north end OF the park. The
jumping field is fiat or gently rolling. and
the turf Is well battered up with hoof-
beats. On the east side. not far from
where the autom obile road climbs hill
and rounds the head of q wooded ravlne,
where the automobile traveller runs along
higher than the tree tops, you will see
three sets of jumps. In the easternmost
set are three low pine brush hurdles, the
southerhmost of the three having rustic
wings and the others without wings Be-
y0nd, or to the westward and paralleling
the first set, are two bar Jumps. and be-
tween them a turf-topped stone wall. Still
further to the west Is a set of four jumps,
the first three brush and the fourth bars,
all having wings. Still further to the west
Is single brush jump that is quite stiff.
The beaten-up condition Of the field shows
how much 1t is used.
There seems to have been not long ago
a habitatfon in this clearing. In the field
at point from which one may look down
into the valley OF Broad branch there is
Il tangle OF honeysucke green and red,
which seems to mark the site of house.
Around are few apple trees. You may
learn that before this became park land

there is Mary Domniess-or a name

lies several hundred yards TO the east
ward OF the automobile road. but an old
yellow mud road leads over that way.
There are three hurdles in this clearing,
the first is log barrier of four thick
logs. the second Is ditch and dirt jump
and the third is a brush jump Under a
big chestnut tree close to the last jump
is a pile Of rock on which has been la1d
a fiat fagstone forming seat. On the
east young pines are creeping into this
clearing and couple of dozen cedars are
growing tall and straight. Before this
was a part of Rock Greek Park Dick
Zepps lived here. but no vcstige of his
house can be seen. though close by the
big chestnut tree is a clump of bridal
wreath and two tufts of yucca showing
that Zepps' garden was here and that
his house must have stood close to the
last jump in the field. Zepps is dead.
but his widow Is living in Howard coun-

The yellow mud road which strikes off
from the automobile road and leads over
to Zepps' old place bends northward near
the chestnut tree and leads on through
woodland-and a very romantic way 1t
is-and leading down a hill strikes the
Military road just across from where the
Daniels road enters it. The Daniels road
takes it's name from a man of that name
who about 1872 bought 200 acres of farm
land from Horace White and gave the
land for the road. Daniels did not long
keep the tract, it passing back into the
possession of White. 1t is wild coun-
try through there, but an interesting
