delivered handsomely to keep his
team in the running. The winners
sewed UP the game in the seventh
inning by scoring five runs.
Chicago leads the pack of
teams with three victories in as
many games. Washington, by its
win yesterday, is in second place
with Pittsburgh, Detroit. Cincin-

they again are going to slip the
! log chains off Primo Camera, the
Reeg Caribou, and let him ramp
i and stamp and champ in the
good, old medicine show routine
perhaps for the last time be-

: be of considerable import.
4.-ar The man either is very
2 good or very bad: therefore.
, 9hiS next time out may always
be his last or the beginning Of
q very useful life.
The Department Of Irnmigra-
i. ton itself was q bit nonplusSed
by this matter not more than a
: few weeks ago. It even went so
far as to order the fellow to leave
the country, but a compromise
was effected whereby he prom
y iSed to stay almost indefinitely.
It was all very simple, the depart
ment told Primo to go, but he
= said he would be glad to stay, so
everything was fixed up nicely.
However, even though he finds
, it inconvenient to leave the
. country just now, he wants to
do the right thing by the Gov
ernment and will begin tomorrow
night by leaving Atlantic City.
, It is only a coincidence that
about 100000 is liable to leave
with him. They tell me this
fight can't miss.

This Bertazolla has nothing
but size and resolute chin. He
has never been knocked out, they
Z say, but neither have I, so that's
all even. The answer means
about the same in both cases,
namely, it isn't always the chin
that counts but the fist that hits
it.
Considering that Bertazolla
himself can't hit hard enough to
knock, your, hat we'll back upon
your ears, the foregoing would
seem to place all Of the proof on
Primo's hitting. Assuming that
the other chump will be in there
trying, then it ought to narrow
down to g question Of Whicn will
succunb first, Primo's hands or
the chump's face.
However, there is this to be
noted about the other chunp. I

I AMBERT TREE, another of the early

interesting story Of his arrival here on Novem-

which gives an idea Of conditions in this city
at the earlier date Upon this occasion he said:
IT departed from Philadelphia at / O'Clock

and from there to Baltimore by steamer, ar

The city, as seen at this time from the parapet
of the Capitol presented to the eye a view of
open fields. with here and there a house or
small cluster of houses.
The Capitol itself was In . most dilapidated
condition. the result of the occupation of the
city by the British in 1914. The streets were
mere country roads and sidewalks almost un-
known.
''on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue
from First to Sixth street was a gravel foot
walk. Tiber Greek was crossed by a small
bridge protected by q hand-rail to keep pedeS-
TRANS from falling in. The south side of the
Avenue from Sixth to Third street, now COW
cred with hotels and business houses was then
occupied by the canal, which at Third street
emptied into Tiber Greek. The sidewalk of the
north side of the Avenue, from Sixth to Seventh
street was paved with brick; from Seventh to
Ninth street. on the north side, a gravel walk,
and from Ninth to Tenth street brick pave
ment; from Tenth to Fourteenth street a
gravel walk and from Fourteenth to Fifteenth
a pavement: from there to Georgetown a gravel
walk street northwest was then deemed the
boundary of the city, as almost all the ground
beyond that point was occupied by fields OF
corn or wheat, or, when not under cultivation,
Overgrown with scrub oak and briar bushes.
The Sland, South Washington had but
few residences, the larger portion of the land
being under cultivation; and have often heard
in that section the Negroes singing while
engaged in shucking corn or stripping tobacco.
Capitol Hill was almost sparsely settled as

few houses on the east side of New Jersey
