law as a member Of the firm of Davidge
& Semmes, with Offices on the east side
Of Seventh street between D and E
streets NV, and later partner In the
law firm of Davidge & Ingle, with Office
and home on Louisiana avenue, where
Mr.. Davidge resided until he moved to
416 Sixth street NV, and finally to the
residence at Seventeenth and H streets,
which he first occupied as his home
about 1880.
About week ago the writer called on
one Of the tenants In the latter building,
a Mr.. Isaacs. who deals in rare books,
and found him in quite Quandary as
to where he could secure quarters else
where, but all the writer could give this
gentleman was sympathy, which in itself
Is of no intrinsic value. However he
did get look at the first floor of this
old residence, which was certainly once
a mansion, having been designed by
Cluss & Schulze, outstanding architects
Of that period, and probably erected by
James G. Naylor, builder.
This building is typical Of the early
palatial homes Of Washington, high CELL
ings, heavy, massive carved doors with
broad trimmings, all apparently OF wall
nut or some other kind OF hardwood
that would cost mint of money today,
and the parlor-as it used to be called,
still retains several Of the unusually
large mirrors. one reaching from near
the floor to the ceiling. A broad hall

to about the center of the house, where
is the stairway. And what stairway
it is! Of carved hardwood throughout,
with heavy and imposing balustrade and
trim, giving 1t formidable appearance
such as one rarely If even sees In any
Of the modern homes Of today. We
wonder what will become OF all Of this
fine wood?
In this old home, Mrs. Davidge, a
connection Of the Washington and Lee
families, died in 1885, and Mr.. Davidge
passed away here in 1901. and subse-
quently Mr.. and Mrs. Walter D. Davidge,
jr., removed from this fine residence to
1926 I street. The present Mr.. W. D.
Davidge is member Of the Association
Of the Oldest Inhabitants.
The Hobbs Home.
Adjoining the Davidge home to the
east, where is now the real estate Office,
was, as early as 1873, the home of
Thomas j. Hobbs, for some years dis
bursting clerk of the United States
Treasury, and here also lived his son.
George S. Hobbs, who was a clerk in
the National Museum in 1885. At 1913
resided M. w. Beveridge OF the firm Of
Webb & Beveridge, china, glass and
crockery dealers, who were successors to
Charles S. Fowler on Seventh street
between D and E streets, 100 years ago.
Later Webb e. Beveridge moved to 1909
D street, and Dulin & Martin finally
succeeded them.
William F. Mattingly, a well-known
lawyer of some years back, resided at
1916 H street. at an early date, where
also lived his sons, Arthur S. and Will
liam F. jr. Houses 1916, 1913 and 1920
were removed sometime ago, and where
they we're once located is now parking
lot. Next to this lot, still going east, is
the rear of the Decatur House, the front
of which faces Jackson place.
Not all of the original buildings in
jackson place remain standing, and some
structures, which replace some OF Wash

The fundamental funtion of mounted
toops today is serving as light, flexible,
fast screen or shield for bigger and more
powerful army units and for recon-
Nuisance. 1t can mask and misdirect
attention from movements of heavier
units. In a pinch the cavalry can be
called in to grab objectives until stronger
forces arrive, fight delaying actions or
cover up Withdrawals.

the $50 divisions the German Army had,
10 were horse cavalry)
The original United States cavalry d.

At No. IA Jackson place resided Schuy-

Southard, Levi D. Woodbury., Senator

Ieved to have been built by DR.. Ewell,
and in 1859 it was occupied by Daniel
E. Sickles, when in q jealous rage he
shot and killed Philip Barton Key,

Arthur P. German and Senator Dorf

Famous Blair House.
at Pennsylvania avenue and Jackson
place, and at No. 1851, facing the State,
War and Navy Building, is the old home
Of Francis Preston Blair and later of his
son. Montgomery Blair, Postmaster Gen.
eral in the cabinet of President Lin
coin. The original part OF the build
ing was built about 1910, by Joseph
Lowell, q surgeon general in the Army
during the War of 1872, and who died
October IT. 1886.
After the death of Surg Gen. Lowell,
the property then fronting 81 feet 8
inches on Pennsylvania avenue, with a
well Of excellent water in the yard,
brick stable and carriage house adjoin-
ing the alley; flower and fruit garden
tastefully laid out and highly cultivated"
was advertised for sale in The Globe
until March %, 1887, about which time
it was purchased by the editor of that
paper, Francis Preston Blair, for $500.
For q few years preceding the Civil
War, when the senior Mr.. Blair was
residing on his Silver Spring estate, he
rented his Avenue property and the
celebrated historian, Bancroft, lived
there while he was Secretary OF the
Navy. John Y. Mason, also Secretary of
the Navy, who succeeded Bancroft in
off1ce, was the next occupant of the
house, and then came Thomas Ewing,
whose daughter married there William
T. Sherman, noted Civil War general

Is 50 replete with history that volume
might well be written about it alone.
Apparently, Bancroft did not seek the
office Of Secretary Of the Navy, to which
he had been appointed Rather he
cherished the idea of being sent abroad
as envoy to Japan, or in some other
diplomatic position, and possibly was
as much surprised as anyone else when
the Presidents cabinet appointments
were sent to the Senate for confirma-
ton.
After Bancroft left the cabinet he
served as American Ambassador to Eng
land and later ss Minister to Berlin.
After leaving his post in Germany he

JOHNSON, RUTH TO PLAY SUNDAY
Baseball ImmOrta1s to Help New York Yankees
 Show

New York, Aug. 18.-(UP)-Two of baseballs immortals = Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson II will return to uniform for an exhibition during the service relief fund baseball show Sunday. The Senators and Yankees will play doubleheader during the program.
 Johnson, possibly the greatest pitcher of them all, and Ruth, &C., knowledged to be baseball's great est hitter, will wear the uniforms of the Senators and Yankees, re- spectively.
 Their rivalry, one of the most col orful chapters in the games his tory, ended in 1927, but their records may live forever. Babe hit TIA home runs during his career, 60 of them in 1927. He hit 50 or more homers in four different seasons, 40 or more in II years and 30 or more in 13 seasons. He won the first all-star game with homer and still holds the world series pitching record of 29 consecutive scoreless innings.
 Remarkable
 Johnson worked in BOP games in his 21 years with Washington. His earned run marks in 1913, "A and '18 were 1.09, I'll and 1.28. He pitched three games of series against the Yankees and scored three shutouts, won 414 games for a chronic tailend Washington club recorded 113 shutouts, pitched 56 consecutive shutout innings and struck out 3,497 batters.

Red And Ted Toast OF Big League Baseball
GOMEZ, ROACH TO SHOW AGAIN
 ON LOCAL CARD
"New Faces'' Signed for Popular Fighters; Piskin
 to Meet Indian

Cuba's number one fighter, Gen. eral Fulgencio Battista, to the con- trary notwithstanding, is a two listed welterweight, Indian Gomez by name, whose eight round slug eroo with Jerry Fiorello o fBrook- lyn, N. Y. Last Friday at Randolph Gloves stadium had Waterbury fans so excited that they demande an- other local showing by the Indian, who has been signed again for this weeks fistic doings at the Bank street enclosure. His opponent, Mauray Piskin of New York is said to hold a couple of verdicts over Freddie Red Cochrane, world welter champion, who was taken too light ly one night in Newark by Pitts burgh Fritzie Zivic, with the result that the title changed hands, and Red still has it, for he joined the Navy to see the world and hold his crown.
 However, Gomez and Piskin is one of two eight rounders billed for this week by the Waterbury A. c. with Whistling Willie Roach and Munzio Bisugnia of Newark, N. J., as his opponent. If the Newark boy is as hard to hit as his name to pro- nounce, it should be a good fight, though Munzio is said to have held Jimmy Hatcher even and to have stopped Tippy Larkin of Garfield, N. J.
 Two more six round battles and an opening four round bingo bout will be completed today by the matchmakers.
