ACES CHALLENGE BULLDOGS

The Pemberton Aces who have beaten the Bulldogs twice are still
 waiting to hear from them for a
 third and final game. The Aces have been avoided by the Bulldogs for the last three weeks. Murphy, pitch
 CT for the Aces was not knocked out of the box by the Bulldogs but walked of the field because of poor fielding on the part of the fielders. He also had to pitch in the after noon and did not bear down on the Bulldogs. And if the Bulldogs think they can beat the Aces with Murphy pitching why are they avoiding them. Murphy pitched against the Bulldogs twice and allowed only six hits. two in the first game and four in the second. If the Bulldogs wish to play the Aces cali Quane, 4-7o63.

National Division

The St. Ann's A. A. defending champions in the National Division has won their sixth straight vic- tory, and the Greenleafs also a team with a fine record has won five straight victories, and If they take over the Night Owls, a team that has played six games and brought in up to now one victory. It is pretty sure thing that the Greenleafs will take the Owls over Thursday, and by wining this game the Greenleafs will only have one team to play, which is with the St. Ann's A. A., this game will be for the championship of the National Division. The Greenleafs have ale ready met the St. Ann's on Labor day in @ practice game, but the Greenleafs will have to do much better when they meet the St. Ann's in @ league game that will be played for the championship. George Beau soliele, manager and captain of the Greenleafs looked a little disgusted Monday when he saw his best and most able hitters going into a slump in their double header, but by next week George will take his team out of the clouds, and show the St. Ann's what is competition.

ported favorably because it asked no
appropriation.
IN 1924 another flag bill originated
by Our Flag Chapter of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, D. A. r., indorsed
by the District Commissioners and
several organizations, was introduced
in Congress. On the floor of the
Senate the appropriation, included
upon the advice of the chairman of
the Fine Arts Commission, was OBJ
liberated. Although promptly passed
by the Senate, the District flag bill
was not acted upon by the House in
1925.
Reintroduced in the seventy-fifth
Congress by the District Of Columbia
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, with the backing Of the District
Commissioners and 80 civic, fraternal
and patriotic organizations, together
with an ever-growing list of citizens
associations, it now reads as follows:
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress as
sembled. that the Secretary of War,

Capital Bicycle Club on January 81,

Capital Bicycle Club on January 81,
1879.
On January 6, 1886, this club was
incorporated, no doubt because of the
fact that it was about to erect its own
building at 400 Fifteenth street, be-
tween the Ulke Building to the north
and the Bureau of Statistics Build
ing to the south. The latter build
ing was erected prior to the Civil
War, probably by Ammi B. Young, an
architect in the Treasury Department
in 1860, when he was residing at this
address. Subsequently, when still liv-
ing here, he had his Office around
the corner on the E street side of the
block. Henry Ulke lived in the house
at All as early as 1866.
THE first meeting place Of the Cap
ital Bicycle Club was on Tenth
street near H, where it remained until
1880, when it moved to larger quar-
ters at 412 Eleventh street. From
here. in 1882, it moved to the lie Droit
Building, southwest corner of Eighth
and F streets, and from here to 9l9 G
street and thence to its own and per-
manent home on Fifteenth street, just
below where Albaugh's Grand Opera
House stood for many years
To those not familiar with the good
old bicycle days it is hard to realize
the spirit and enthusiasm of the bicy-
clists of that period both men and
women, and five years after the forma-
ton of the Capital Bicycle Club the
Washington Bicycle Club came into
existence. with Amos A. Hart as pres
ident; w. j. Kenderline, vice presi-
dent; Edward T. Pettingill, secretary
and treasurer: William L. Scribner,
captain, and Herbert j. Browne lieu
tenant.
The Washington Cycle Club made its
appearance in 1885, its officers being:
E. T. Pettingill, president; H. H. Bliss,
vice president; John H. Hawley, secre-
tary: William T. Fizer, treasurer: F.
w. Moulton, chronicler; L. M. Kru-
ger, captain; A. P. Crenshaw, first
lieutenant, and Lewis Flemer second
lieutenant.
1t was this same year that the
League of American Wheelmen estab-
lished itself in Washington, with E. T.
Pettingill as chief consul; George E.

secretary. and Frank T. Rawlings,

For a third time the fate Of this
bill rests with the House District
Committee.
The Secretary of War has been
named on this commission, because
to him pertains the design and dis
tribution of the majority of Federal
flags. His approval and those of the
Secretary of the Navy and the presi-
dent of the Board of Commissioners
have been had.
1t is apparent that the question of
design is left to the commission Gre
ated by the bill, but several designs for
the proposed flag have been suggested.
In 1925 the National Guard of the
District became interested in the then
pending legislation regarding Dis
trict. The War Department had is
sued instructions which applied to all
units of the Army of the United States,
requiring that each organization en-
titled to carry a color should have a
coat OF arms or badge. Each regi-
mental flag, including both colors and
standards. has embroidered in the
center the United States eagle, bear
ing on its breast a shield with the
coat of arms of the regiment. On all
National Guard flags the State crest
was to be used above the eagle to
distinguish the regiments of the diff
ferent States. What was the State
crest of the District of Columbia? For
over two years the Guard had hoped
that the proposed law for a commits
sion to secure a flag design would
answer that question.

Of the Nations Capital has none If
cities all over the United States, with
much less reason than the National
Capital, have expressed their pride in
name and origin in this simple fashion,
why cannot Washington or the Dis
trict of Columbia adopt a distinctive
banner?
1t happens that the first steps toward
the adoption of flag for the District
have been taken by the introduction
OF bills in both Houses of Congress.
Twice the Senate has passed similar
bill, but as yet the House has not
seen flt to complete the action.
Aside from Gen. Washington's in
terest in the designing of the Ma
tional Flag. which has often been
described, no one was more insistent
that the commander in chief upon
having distinctive emblems for all
the different branches of the service.
His account book shows that on July
10, ITS, he bought blue ribbon ito
distinguish himself" and few days
later he issued general order for
the different colored ribbons which
were to identify his various officers.
Even after the adoption of the
Stars and Stripes, headquarters flag
f1oated at Washington's tent, and a
flag was also given to the commander
in chiefs guard.

IN 1888 the enterprising National
Guard officers designed their own
flag, which has been authorized to
them by the War Department. Using
the seal of the District of Columbia,
a design was evolved. The blue field,
the basic infantry color, represents
that branch, inasmuch as the major
portion of the District of Columbia
National Guard was formerly COM
posed of troops of that arm of the
service. The dome Of the Capitol
typifies the District of Columbia; the
rising sun, taken from the District
seal, is SYMBOLIC of ascendancy. The
District of Columbia lies within the
territory Of the 13 original States,
whose predominant Caucasian popu-
lation was of English origin, and the
twists of the wreath are accordingly
white and red.
This handsome, unofficial flag is
credited to the District of Columbia in
the National Geographic Magazine OF
1884, Flags of the World"
Another proposed design, submitted
by Maj. Albert M. Walker, is in the
heraldic form followed by the National
Guard officers. In planning the de-
sign consideration was given to the
designs which have been Of
fered in previous drawings for Dis
trict flag. Attempt has been made to
the prevailing ideas. The
symbols employed are largely sug-
gested by the District of Columbia
seal.

appears the blazing sun in gold behind
the dome of the Capitol. This is sup

ON FEBRUARY 6, 1909, the Capital
Club gave a resurrection te-
union" at Rauscher's, where those
having membership of at least 20
years in the club sat down to a fine
dinner. This dinner was arranged by
"self-constituted committee" which
included DR.. Leland O. Howard, Clar-
ence G. Allen, Max Hansmann, Ru-
dolph Kaufman, John T. Loomis
and Andrew Parker, all prominent
men in the organizing or developing
of the club. Mr.. Hansmann, who was

ginia shore with the Potomac River
flowing between Virginia and the City
of Washington. The statue on the
pedestal, although unidentified by re-
semblance to the man who was first
in war and first in peace" undoubtedly
represents George Washington, and
the female figure represents justice
blinded, with a wreath in her right
hand and q tablet in her left, on
which the word Constitution" ap-
pears in three lines of four letters
each. To the right of the female
figure is the Capitol Of the United
States, and to the left are an eagle,
a sheaf Of wheat and agricultural
products. In the left background is
the rising sun. Beneath the figures
is a wreath with the date 1871, and
on a scroll underneath are the words
"Justitia Omnibus" The District Of
Columbia has no colors which belong
to the seal.
About the time this seal was adopted
State seals were often placed upon
State flags. One can imagine the
seal design having been required to
do double duty for many patriotic
purposes and during many District
celebrations.
No doubt many communities have
entertained the thought that an au-
thorized District flag would serve
many purposes, and some suggestions
for flag were sent to the Commis-
sioners of the District during the
World War. The idea first took def
mite form in a bill presented to Con-

the seal of the District is the motto,
"Justitia Omnibus, the facies of gov

symbolizing the Nations Capital.
MRS. GEORGE T. HAWKINS of
" American Liberty Chapter, D. A..
R.. offers distinctive design whose
colors are the Colonial buff and blue.
The seal Of the District is used in the
center of q large star composed of 13
alternate buff and blue stripes, SYM
bolizing the 13 States which formed
the Union when, by act of Congress,
the Capital was placed In the District
OF Columbia. Converging on this CEN
tral figure are 48 solid buff stars, one
for each of the present 48 States.
William Russell of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association has
designed banner which has been used
upon occasion. In this flag the field
chosen is buff. The District seal, in
the center, is blue, and there is a wide
border Of blue separated from the field
by a narrow strip of white It Is true
George Washington flag, since buff and
blue were the colors the commander in
chief preferred for uniforms, and the
COPY of the seal has his statue as its
chief figure.
Many more designs are being ad-
vanced. As most national programs
and memorials honoring our Nations
heroes center in Washington, 1t Is
worth while to remember that for CEN
turies the record Of great events and
deeds has been emblazoned upon BAN
ners and that no greater compliment
has even been conceived than the
