Want 5000 out.

President Justice said this morning
that the four towns in which games
are played tomorrow should net an at
tendance OF at least 10000. The Keo-
kuk directors believe that with fair
weather, this city should have fan
list of 5000 at Hubinger park.
Viewing it from every angle. Keo-
kuk has one of the best ball teams
she has ever possessed. Manush
through his friendship with many 9TH
er ball managers the country over,
has succeeded in getting together a
machine that will be second to none
in every department of the game.
With such prospects, it is UP to the
city to support BASEBALL this year as
it never has before and to show ap-
probation for the good work that has
been done by the men at the head of
affairs. Tomorrow will be the right
day to start to show that appreciatiye
spirit as the attendance on opening
day forecasts in large measure what
may be expected in numbers during
the rest of the season.

vious to Rock Point, Md. by reason or

pick situations which arose from time
to time after leaving Leonardtown, Md.
Leaving The Star building at 4:10
o'clock last Saturday afternoon. We
headed for Good Hope, just beyond
Anacostia. Turning to the right, we
proceeded a short distance and at 4.S
miles turned left into Walker road.
This section of the road, which for
some time past has been in a sandy
and bumpy condition. has been im-
proved within the past few weeks, and
a new gravel road has taken its place
The road has been widened and the
underbrush alongside of the road
cleared away. Fences have been con
structed and within short time II is
expected that the oiling machine will
be put into service in this section. and
when it is the road will be all that can
be desired. The steep grade on the
other side of the small bridge was be-
ing swept last week preparatory to
ciling it, and just after entering the
Walker road we passed the oiling ma
chine which was TO do the work up in
the vicinity of Silver Hill.

Piney Point and across from st. Georges
Island. After a delightful drive along
the shore We pulled into Piney Point at
1880 O'Clock Saturday night. with the
total mileage on our odometer registering
13.1 miles from Washington. While many
motorists have imagined that the road
between Leonardtown and Piney Point
was impossible, such Is not the case.
We found evidences where the highway
engineers are at work down over this
stretch of road, and were informed that
1t is the intention to improve this road
from Leonardtown to Piney Point. In
this event it will do much to encourage
motoring In that section of Maryland, as
the scenery is inviting and conditions
generally favorable to Washington auto
lists. One of the principal things to re-
member on the run from Leonardtown
to Piney Point Is to follow the telegraph
wires, with two exceptions, once where
they are left two miles out from Leon
ardtown and are again picked up after
motoring about a mile and where the
right fork is taken just beyond Valley
Lee at the junction with the Porto Bello
road.
