Elder Harvey S. Irwin of the New

has been conducting preliminary work
at Idylwood during the summer pre-
paratory to formally organizing the
congregation, made his report to the
presbytery. He detailed how a men,
bership of about thirty has been gath
cred and a suitable lot obtained. AL
ready plans are being completed for the
erection of a church within short

With the erection of a church there,
he said, it is his opinion that the con-
gregation will increase.

Roadway's Condition a Disgrace.

1.-The condition of the roadway from
the south end of the Anacostia bridge
through Nichols avenue to the foot of the
asylum hill is a disgrace that has aroused
the people OF that section of the CITY,"
said Mr. Otterback. "Our people have sew
eral times gone before the engineering
department of the District regarding con-
ditions here, and as to the provision for
the underground system. We have been
put off from time to time with the state
ment that the embankments at the ends
of the bridge had not sufficiently settled
for permanent work and we have ac-
cepted this year in and year out until
we are tired. We do not believe that
Engineer Commissioner Harding, with
whom we have not yet talked, will per-
NIT this delay stuff to be put across his
office any further. The 11th street bridge
has now been built for many years and
the embankmentS have settled all they
will ever settle. The street needs at
tention. 1t is the worst in the District
and we want the new asphalt put down
and the underground system put in with
out delay"

OBJECT TO FURTHER

Southeastern Suburban Citizens
Want Electric Line
Changes.

Officials of the Anacostia Citizens AS
sociation, Congress Heights Public Inn
provement Association and other asso-
Citations in the southeastern suburban
sections of the District have decided to
make a most vigorous protest to the
Engineer Commissioner against the re-
quest of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company to defer for another
year the installation of the underground
system from the south end of the 18th
street bridge to the foot of the hill on
Nichols avenue Maurice Otterback of
the Anacostia association has written
the Engineer Commissioner asking that
if the request of the road is to be seri-
ously considered the citizens associa-
tions so deeply interested be permitted
to voice their protest at a hearing be-
fore the Commissioners Mr.. Otterbacks s
request is to be followed by joint re-
quest from various associations, which
have instructed Mr.. Otterback again to
present the matter to the Engineer
Commissioner.
Mr.. Otterback has pointed out in
letter to. the Commissioner that the act
of Congress directing the extension of
the underground system on the Ana
costa line was passed by Congress in
1907, seven years ago. and that the rail-
way line has succeeded, by reason of
different excuses, in postponing this
work from wear to wear.

Here Are More Freak Plays the
Old-Time Fans Ought to Remember
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON

There was a play made the other
day that ought to live in the history
OF freak plays in baseball; one that
deserves a place with the ball that
got caught in Cliff CAROLS shirt
pocket and lost a game, with lsbelIs
drive that stuck on a wire nail at the
top Of a fence and decided a game.
with the bail that rolled into a to-
| mato can on the Boston grounds and
almost cost Boston a pennant.
The freak play happened at Buff
falO in the ninth inning of a game
between Indianapolis and Buffalo.
The score was tied, each team having
made four runs, when Hanford drove
q fly to left Kaiser sprinted over
and, while running at full speed. got
both hands on the ball. Just as he
was making the catch he bumped the
fence, the ball bounded out Of his
hands and went ocer the fence. turn
ing the catch into a home run that
gave Buffalo a 5-tO-4 victory.
Such things are rare. The greatest
catch, according 10 everyone who saw

Washington grounds in the days when
the Wagners owned the club. | was
then with AnsOn's Chicago club. and
il so happened that LANCE. Kittridge
and myself were lucky enough TO
stay over in New York and then miss
the train for Washington.
We caught the first train in the
morning, due TO arrive at Washington
after 3 o'clock. LANCE and Kit dress

Washington We leaped into a car

game was just starting and Arson was
furious.
LANCE sprinted out to center field.

stop him, but after the inning was
over Arson said: That costs you an
other hundred"
He had fined LANCE 800 only a
few days before. The teams got mix

At the last instant as the ball was
going over his head LANCE leaped,

ball. In the effort he turned COM

An instant later ne crawled back

He caught the ball just as he
crashed into the left field fence at
Boston and was knocked senseless.
Before Hoffman could get over from
