budget for a new school at Fourteenth
and Taylor streets northeast, the
Bunker Hill Parent Teacher Associa-
tion and the Michigan Park Citizens
Association will hold joint meeting
tomorrow night in the Bunker Hill

The appropriation, for which the
members of the association have been
striving for a number of years, was
included in the budget for 1886, but
was struck out by the Budget Bureau.
The group plans to send a delega-
ton of Is members from the joint
meeting to Congress requesting that
this appropriation be included in the
budget. The land for the building Of
the school has been acquired at Four
teenth and Taylor streets.
The two graded schools in the
neighborhood, Brookland, and Bunker

to the members of the association. The
Bunker Hill School, which has over
100 pupils in five grades, is two-room

Base Ball Box Score System No,o Being Used
Credited to Georgetown Association Leader

League, the first thought in his mind
was to devise q simplified score sheet
and total of players averages. The
only way managers knew the seasons
best players was by consensus. There
was no proof in black and white.
DoyIe's Scheme Suggested.
Somewhere in Nick's search for
system all America could use some
one asked him if he had seen Doyle's
scheme. "The fellow who telegraphs
the games to Boston" they called him.
Doyle was called, sketched sample
score sheet for Young, showed him
how his Morse system of dots and
daShes" worked, and how he kept q
newspaper mans idea Of base ball" )"
Immediately to Al Reach in Phil
adeiphia and Spalding in New York
went Doyle,s sketches. Within q
month score sheets were printed,
rushed to every team in the United
States, with notes on how to keep
them, and put into use.
Thus, through the method Doyle
used as a sports writer, came the
uletiiOQ IiiAt tOOdy ID uScu Universally
Although this is the first time it has
been published. the president Of the
National League and other reliable
authorities agree that Doyle, together
with Young as an auditor, worked out
the system Of box scoring now used.
Worked ut Post Office.
On top of all this Doyle served a
years in the mail order division of
the Post Office Department, retiring
on his 74th birthday, January Is, 1882.
His work today is: Caring for the
poor through his charities society and
activities of the Georgetown Citizens
Association.
His aim; To see @ new auto park
ing system devised somewhat along
some splendid ideas of his own.
His greatest ambition: To be able
to prove to Washington residents the
value of property in Georgetown with
in another Is years and his conten-
ton that buy now in Georgetown" Is
sound prediction.
He doesn't want: To be sung" for
his deeds and exploitations or re-
minded of his age.
