CIRCULATION

A team is as strong as its re-

Circulation bowling team had one
reserve and Kirk Miller's Times
Sports nary q one, Circulation
Tucked out two games to one in
a special six-men duckpin match
last night.
1t was freely admitted that
Shelton had supped his team on
large helpings Of four-leaf clovers
just before the match. Shelton
had also equipped each one Of
his bambfnos with a horseshoe
and a pocketful of rabbit feet,
and then gently eased it around
that the chap who failed the
team had better not show up
the next day.
AS if this wasn't enough.
Circulation quietly imported "Jud''
Daley, one of Massachusetts, ace
bowlerS and he was hurriedly
inserted in the second game after
the Sports Department had swept
through to an easy first game
win. Splits and puny counts and
not the presence Of the Boston

he first entered Roosevelt he was
the teams regular catcher. And
q good one.
But at that time Coach Lynn
Woodworth was in need of pitch
ers-dire need. So dark was the
situation that he was ready to
do anything to develop a hurler.
Became Star
He did something. One day in
the practice sessions he noticed
the fine arm Baroni had. He
figured the Lad might make a
pitcher with a little instruction,
so shortly after Coach Woodworth
told Baroni to take off the mask
and protector and pitch.
Baroni did just that and be-
came so good in the 1882 series
that he was the sensation. In
cludeG among his victims were
Tech and Eastern.
Now, Woodworth is faced with
the problem of filling the back
stop berth now wide open with
the Rough Riders. His only out
let is putting Baroni back be-
hind the bat, which plan is al
most sure to be followed because
of the promising collection Of
hurlerS on hand this spring to
carry on where Baroni started
q couple Of seasons ago.
Trio Look Good
The promising hurlers include
Ken Blundon, lefthander; How
ard Bowers, Highlander, and
Nick Canpanella, also right
handed.
Said Woody today:
81 really believe well follow
this plan, since Blundono Bow
ers and Canpanella promise to
carry on satisfactorily on the
mound this spring. With
BarOni behind the bat, we'll be
better fitted to give Tech, East
ern and the rest a battle for
honorS in the SERIES"

Herewith is the solution to yes
terday's puzzle.
Evening star., 1935-09-15

site for this garden is the old Seaton
mansion, which is now being torn
down. This fine old brick mansion,
with wide hall, ample parlors and
other apartments, and garden in the
rear, has been historic for over half
century as the residence of Ex-Mayor
w. w. Seaton, one of the proprietors
of the National 1ntelligencer and as
sociate editor with Mr.. Joseph Gales.
It was the resort of all the notable
people who visited Washington, where
most generous hospitality was dis
pensed.
"It is said that President Harrison
who was the guest of Mr.. Seaton, used
the northeast chamber Of the second
story for the preliminary meetings Of
his cabinet before his Inauguration.
Mrs. Seaton superintended the man
agement Of the garden and each Of
the distinguished persons who were
visitors contributed fruit tree. Mr..
Calhouns pear tree was long noted in
city pomology. Mr.. Webster sent q
New England apple tree, Mr.. Clay an
apricot tree, Mr.. Benton a cherry
tree, Mr.. Alexander Porter of Louisi-
ana a fig tree, Silas Wright a plum
tree and other Senators other trees
and thus the garden was planted by
senatorial hands"
The late Henry E. Davis, in refer
ring to the southeast corner Of Eighth
and e streets in q paper read before
the Columbia Historical Society, men,
tions tavern kept there by Ger
man named Green, whom he said,
opened his place some time before
the war, and 1t stood for the Democrats
of that time for what Hancock's on
Pennsylvania avenue, near Thirteenth
street, stood for the Wings. In those
days the modern restaurant was un-
known and 1t was the habit, as ] know
partly from information and partly
from the fact that places similar to
Green's survived even to the days Of
my later boyhood, for each gentle
man To own his own bottle Of liquor
and to keep it at the place Of his
resort, where he would go and drink
from his bottle at his pleasure.
Green had as his barkeepers Sebas-
tian Aman and Edward Kolb, the lat
ter still living. and, II may be ex-
cused for telling the story in this
presence, I remember hearing that
among the freQuenters Of Green's

National Intelligencer. It occupied
the spot where in more recent years
stood the Busch Building, once occu-
pied by the Civil Service Commission,
but which was replaced by the pres
ent structure. Here, in 1924, re-
ception was given by Mr.. Seaton in
honor of the distinguished French
visitor, and Gen. William Henry Har-
rison is said to have been the guest
here of Col. Seaton before his inau-
guration as President.
Sorrow and grief also came into
this household, particularly so when
William Henry Seaton, son Of the dis
tinguished editor, met with q fatal
accident about 1928. According to an
early account, he went out on his
thoroughbred saddle horse to take his
customary morning exercise. He went
unattended, and no uneasiness was
felt concerning him, as he was q
skilled and fearless rider. Time was
up for his home coming, and his
mother stood at the parlor window
Of their home in E street, opposite the
old brick yellow-painted Post Ofdce
Department of that day, the site now
occupied by the land Office.
Around the corner of Eighth and
E streets she saw him, his horse gall
lantly prancing. The next moment
something frightened the horse and it
started on gallop, dragging her son,
one Of his feet having caught in a
stirrup. The young mans death was
q sad blow to his parents"
q CCORDING to my late friend,
= Washington Topham, after the
death Of Col. Seaton, in June, 1866,
the house was occupied by Malcolm
Seaton, his son. Later, in March.
1880, the property was purchased by
Edward Abner and dlsmantled to
make room for the construction Of the
hall and Summer garden which Abb
ner conducted until 1887, when it was
replaced by the Busch Building.
The Star, recognizing as usual the
significance CT Washington's old build
ings, had this to say in its issue of
March 5, 1880:
"A building permit has been issued
by MIR. Entwisle, the inspector of
buildings, to Edward Abner for the
construction Of . hall and lager beer
garden on e street between Seventh
and Eighth streets northwest. The

place was the late Gen. John c. Breck-
inridge, who had the peculiar taste Of
keeping his whisky in bottle par
tally filled with reaches. repeated
this story once in light and half
incredulous way in the hearing OF
Aman, who told me that if I were tell
ing the story as joke was mucn
mistaken, as he had personally often
handed the bottle, reaches ana all,
to Gen. Breckenridge and seen him
drink from it."
Breckenridge, 1t will be recalled, was
one of the candidates in the four
cornered race for the presidency in
1860. When the Civil War began he
Joined the Confederate forces and
was with Gen. Jubal Early when he
made his raid on Washington in 1864.
MO DOUBT many will recall the
~ free lunch served by Martin
Schneider in his restaurant in the
basement in the corner building at
Eighth street. His fried oysters, many
will agree, were delicious. OF course,
those were the days when II you hur-
ried around the corner prosperity"
was likely to knock you down, and
when food was cheap enough to give
away.
Not far from the Seaton home was
the "Old Rye" House. conducted for
a while by Charles O'Connor. 1t was
only a small place of Is or 20 rooms
and was opened Just before the Civil
War by the proprietor. who had lost
his position in one Of the Federal
departments. AS q hotel owner. he
failed, and later was reinstated In
his Government position.
The Rev. George w. Samson was
not the only clergyman identified with
z street, for the Rev. Obadiah Brown
resided for many years on the south
side of this thoroughfare between
Eighth and Ninth streets. He preached
at the First Baptist Church which
occupied the site Of the present Ford
Theater Building, where President
Lincoln was shot. The e street resi-
dence, where the Rev. Brown lived, Il
said to have been built about 1921
After the dwelling was vacated by
the family Of DR.. Brown, 1t was occu-
pied in succession by several families
and institutions, among them a young
ladies' seminary. John Slidell of Civil
War fame, once made it his home
