BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Let's talk about basketball for
awhile, and since l know very little
about it and seldom get to see a
game, it ought to be a right inter
esting talk.
After looking over some of the
high school scores of the past week,
my expert" opinion is that Will
Transport High School rates on top
with Hagerstown Highs Maroon
and Gray outfit in second place and
st. James third.
Williamsport won out over the
highly touted ascus High
School teams of Montgomery Coun-
ty. Prior to that, the Damascus lads
and lassies had only lost one game.
Hagerstown High, 1 think, def
nitely settled the question of their
supremacy over st. James, when
they beat them last Wednesday for
the second time in a row, and this
time in the Saints own back yard
So, just as / get through rating
Williamsport, the Maroon and Gray
and st. James, what happens? Why
Hagerstown High slipped over to
Williamsport Tuesday night and
handed the local lads very de-
cisive AZ to IL trimming, outplaying
Williamsport both on offense and
defense.
All of which proves that, as I said
in my lead paragraph, don't know
much about basketball.
st. Mary's, with less talent to
draw from than any of the schools
they play, are giving the same ex-
hibition of fighting spirit that they
showed during the football season.
Their girls team, though still look
ing for its first victory, is improving
with every game and, before the
season is over, those gals are liable
to come up with winning combina-
ton.
Turning now to the industrial
teams, that FERA outfit must be
some aggregation Their twin vic
tory over the weekend (they beat
Bethlehem, Pa, city champions,
43-37 on Saturday, and then
trounced the Allentown Jewish
Community Center outfit on Sun
day, 51-44) gave them IL wins in a
row and found them still with an
undefeated record. They kept the
slate clean Monday night by taking
the Bethlehem Fairfield team of
Baltimore, SIS to 30.
In baseball, there is very little to
write about A line from Oren
Sterling, Owls president, tells me
that he expected to hear from Leo
Miller, of Syracuse, right after the
baseball meeting now going on in
New York, regarding the chances of
Syracuse training here, so some
thing might break on that any day
now.
My comment last week that ST.
Mary's Bowling League just man
ages to get one man in the select
100 class each week, seems to have
had its effect, for 1 see where j.
Stevenson came through with 129,
F. Mazzo with 1875, C. Mask with 124
and c. Martin with 122. What's the
matter, Harry? Slipping?
And what record John Minnich
of the Sunday School League made
Tuesday night, with his games of
124, 1855, 1874, for an all-time Sunday
School League 3-game record of 443.

itself. And one Of the earliest appoint

capacity to S. beds. Two years later,
4 wing, 80 feet by 95 feet, was erected
on the corner OF Thirty-fifth and N
streets, on ground given for the purpose
by E. Francis Riggs. The build

This magnificent building was erected
in 1881 on site near where once was
an early cemetery, long since forgotten.
1t stood on wooded knoll, somewhat
to the northwest of the dormitory build
ing of Georgetown University, in an al
most inaccessible spot. An investiga-
ton of this old abandoned Gods acre
brought to light the interesting fact
that here was buried the body of Susan
Decatur, widow of Commodore Stephen
Decatur, who was killed in a duel at
Bladensburg by Commodore James Bar
ron, March 20, 1920.
Stephen Decatur was buried at Kalo-
rama, one of Washington's historic
estates, but his remains were later
transferred to grave behind st. Peters
Church, Philadelphia, Pa
OF Mrs. Decatur, who died June 81,
1860, it is said she made her home at
2812 N street about 1921 In 1928 she
became a convert to the Roman Catholic
Church, through her close acquaintance,
it is believed, with the Carroll family.
The latter part Of her life was spent in
a frame house on the brow OF q hill
about 100 yards from Georgetown Uni
versity, which she rented from a Miss
Hobbs.
When her grave was brought to light,
together with others. the plot was prac-
tically obscured with vines and weeds
with crumbling headstones scattered
over the ground haphazardly, great slabs
that once covered the graves OF old
Georgetown pioneer residents, exposing
leaf-f1lled vaults, and sections of twisted
ornamental fencing were lying rusting
on the ground.
The grave of Jane Brent, daughter
Of Robert Brent, Mayor Of Washington,
l802-1812, was In . sorry state Of dis
array, A venerable slab, about 4 by 6
feet, was tilted against the brick-nned
tomb 1t formerly covered. On the slab
was inscribed Sacred to the memory
Of Jane, daughter Of Robert Brent and
Ann Maria Parnham, his wife, Of
Charles Co., Md, who departed this life

Gen. Washington's Visit
But in 1796, while the college was
still in its infancy. it had the honor of
being visited by Gen. George Washing
ton then serving his second term as
President, of which an eyewitness gives
this account:
While the small college was sur
rounded by whitewashed paling fence,
horseman, we'll stricken in years but of
noble and soldierlike bearing, reined up
his charger at the little gateway and
hitched him to the fence. Alighting
with grace and ease, he entered the
humble inclosure with benevolent Sc
renity OF countenance and placid look
of confidence for a cordial reception.
This every American gentleman feels in
visiting his friends. On this occasion
"a -.
pleasure and honor to be the first to
welcome to Georgetown College Gen.
George Washington"
Indeed, in life or in death, the college
students are found paying their respects
to the first President, and Christian
Hines in his Recollection" records an
incident that comedies with what has
already, been said.
I believe" said this old gentleman,
who died in 1874, II only saw Gen.
Washington twice in my life. The first
time was when he came up in boat
and landed at the lower bridge, at the
foot of K street north, and stopped with
his nephew, Thomas Peter, esq. saw
him the last time, think, in the year
1913. when he crossed the Potomac In
= ferry boat near Aqueduct Bridge.
"on each side Of Water street, from
the foot OF High street, Georgetown, to
the bridge, the citizens were ranged on
either side while Gen. Washington
walked between them, uncovered and
bowling to the people as he passed along.

north side of the street, and nearlys OPP
