had planned to have full program of
outdoor Fall activities, comparable to
that which will keep the roses in the

of Georgetown property owner to the
closing of Thirty-ninth street, which
borders on her estate.
Until the issue is settled and it is
decided where the new field will be
located and how the proposed stadium,
