THE intersection Of Ninth and
F streets northwest and its
neighborhood is one Of the
n busiest business sections of
Washington. and one Of the Oldest
as well, although there are many
persons who can recall when this
part of the city had few business
houses and when it was almost entire
ly a residential area. Indeed, even
today, many of the stores in this Vicin-
ity occupy buildings once the homes
of prominent Washingtonians, having
only been remodeled for business pur-
poses in the last 80 or 40 years.
One thing we cannot claim for
Washington is old age, for the city
was not originally provided for by
law until 1871, and the Government
did not move here until nine years
later, previous to which the site was
largely made up Of forests and farm
land. However, what the city lacks
in age it makes up for in hundred
other different ways, and particularly
is it rich in its historic sites.
The old Patent Office, one of the
most notable and handsome public
buildings in Washington, faces F
street. 1t covers the entire block
bounded by F, G, Seventh and Ninth
ttreets, and has entrances on all four
sides, though some are seldom used.
Like nearly all of the early Govern
knent buildings, it was not erected as
we see it all at one time. The first, or
F street part. was begun in the Sum-
asT OF 1886, and finished in 1842.
8 had frontage Of 270 feet and ex-
Wnded back 10 feet, not including
ne south portico and the north apse.
R is the r street portico that is to
be restricted in order to widen this
thoroughfare, between Seventh and
Ninth streets. It was designed by
William p. Elliott OF Elliott a. Town,
engineers, and executed by Robert
Mills. The exterior walls were con-
structed Of sandstone from the Gov
ernment quarries at Aqua Creek, as
directed by Congress.
THE east wing of this old building
- was authorized in 1849, and COM
menced by Robert Mills, who was
succeeded in 1851, by Edward Clark,
then assistant and later architect of
the Capitol, who completed this wing
about 1853, and the west wing in 1864,
and here, on Monday, March s, 1865,
T,incoln's second inaugural ball was
held in the north hall, which previous
" had been used for fairs and other
purposes Of patriotic nature. Sad
ness also reigned here during the
Civil War, when the north and west
wings were taken over for hospital
purposes, and used as such from Oc-
tober, 1861, to January l6. 1858. Fol-
lowing the battle of Antietam. Sep
tember IT, 1862. many of the wounded
were taken to the Patent once Hos

: There is a Dictatorship set up down at the present Union Hall. They tell us that we can not vote Thursday and express our opinion on the present situation. Why is it that they do not want us to vote? Is it not an admission that they realize that the majority of t,ie men want to go back to work? There was no walkout vote taken before the walkout was called Nineteen men called this walkout and now they refuse the rest of us the chance to vote.
 Thursday is the day for every employee of the A. J. to come out in the open and express his opin- ion on the walkout. No matter whether you vote to continue the walkout or not, go and vote. Any man who does not vote has no right to call himself a man.

LEGION EARN
 ANOTHER WILD
 VICTORY, 15-1
Elks Fall Winners Play Good Ball Defensive
 ly and at Plate
RESULT YESTERDAY Legion Is, Elks l

Something must be done about this Legion baseball club in the City League. Last night, for the seccnd time in a row, they ran hog wild against the opposition and won by lop-sided score.
 The Lcgionnaires drubbed the Elks last night, Is to 1, in seven inning game. Sunday, they took a wild one from the Moose, 20 to 10. That makes total of 35 runs in just Is innings of play.
 There were many features of last nights walkaway that were similar to. that Sunday debaclo. For in- stance, the Elks, showing a new infield combination, committed l2 errors. But. give the Legionnaires credit for winning their own ball game. They pounded out 15 hits, scored nine earned runs, and play ed errorless ball.
 On top of that, Tal Picinini won his second pitching victory of the season when he set the opposition down with four scattered singles. He whiffed six and walked but one for a fair days. job. Incidentally, the. old war horse, C. H. (Big Mac MacSpadden was the Elk player who robbed Picinini of shut-cut. In the fifth, Curly Livingston had walked. Then Big Mac, switching over to left-handed stance, pickea one of Picinini's throws for a long single to the .right-field bleachers. Iavington came in all the way from first to prevent whitewash- ing.
 In a dition to Picinini's fine pitching, the Legion also drew praise fer the execution of two sparkling double plays, giving evil dence that Manager George Henry's infield crew is beginning to click On the o ther hand. the Elks, searching for a shortstop, used a newcomer, Pete Reed, and m5vea Big Mac to first. Reed kicked three in nine tries, but showed pos abilities icThe batting surprise of the day came when the box score was added and it was found that young Erv Hagerup, Legion substitute right fielder, had the best average. flag erup, playing his first full game for the winners, cracked three for four and drove in three runs, Jos Shows double and triple were other hitting features.

Evidently the amateur pool table makes strange bedfellows, for tEe national amateur billiard group boasts as strangely assorted trio of champions as cosuld be found in any sport.
 The peer of the amateur pocket billiard division. for example, is J. He ward Shoemaker, staid. settled family man and successful whole sale furniture dealer. Fifty-six years old, he is oldest of Americas cham pions in any important sport. He has been national .ams.eur pocket billiard champion 20 times.
 He Is a man without nerves. While the contenders were practic- ing feverishly in their local acad- Vsnies for the national amateur pocket billiard championship held last January in Philadelphia, Shoe maker, aware of the calsoer of his opponents, made prolonged busi- ness trip, selling furniture. Yet his brilliant defense Of the title, without a loss during the tourna- mcnt, is in the sports archives.
 Again in February the cream Of the nations simon-pure three-cush- ion players moved into the New York Athletic club, For five years the title has been held by Edward Lee, 26-year-old, rosy-cheeked auto mobile tire salesman A handsome lad, he looks like the mpvies' con- cepti3n of college football coach.
 A Pool Specialist
 Pool and pools are Lees forte, for in addition to his three-cush- ion tlt.c he also holds the na- ticnal long di tance swimming championship.
 Lee got off to a bad start in the tournament when 52-ycar-old Ed- ward Everett Spitz, of Boston beat him in one Of the early games.
 Lee plays an ''old mans" game. Showing none of the fire and en- thusiasm of youth, he measures each shot carefully and only tries 1t when he is satisfied that he is ight. he usually is right. He fin shed the tournament with only that ~ne loss and the national amatuer .hree-cushion crown.
 Soussa A Ccsmopolite
 Edmond Soussa of Cairoh Egypt, was crowned the new 182 balkline champion in February, adding this title to four European and one world, IT international champion ships.
 Lank of limb, dark k-complexioned, with the head of Pharaoh. Soussa is the most cosmopolitan figure in the entire sports world. Born 35 years ago in Alexandria, Egypt, Soussa learned to love billiards when he was eight years old, over the protests of his father. the man. ufacturer of Soussa cigarettes, pop ular in Europe. tv
 A manufacturer of cosmetics, his work has made frequent world tours necessity with the result that he speaks seven languages. He is a crack rifle and pistol shot
 There were no billiard instructors available in Alexandria when Sous ga was attracted to the game so the young Egyptian absorbed his bil- Hard knowledge from books. He practiced with large size marbles and whittled-down broomstick cue.
 These are the three outstanding figures in the amateur billiard panorama. Stern, taid J. Howard Shoemaker; young, athletic Edward Lee; and sophisticated, worldly Ed ward Soussa.

Although Pleas has not come out

he has come perliously close 10 IL

The Governor attitude toward
Pleas ambitions is not known and
party followers believe Mr.. Green
ices fate hinges on the Governors

The patronage secretary is some

TO do with the much -ballyhooed fight
between Senator VanNuys and Gov
