in New York, all his major league
career has been in Washington
and, like a sensible fellow, he has
bought himself a home out on AL
ison Street. He is in, business
here and, barring unforeseen
events, he is likely to be here for
many more years to come. His
children go to Washington schools.
His interests are all in the Capt.
tai and Washington is proud to
have him as a resident.
Judge lives at I'll Allison St.
His next door neighbor, Sam Rico,
lives at 713 Allison st. Sam is
