Oak Hill
But in addition to Rosedale, the home
of the Forrest and Green families, there
once stood upon the site Of the Cathe-
dral Mansions, in this neighborhood, an
old landmark, erected about 1919, and
known as Oak Hill and later as Red
Wood 1t is difficult to definitely set
the date of the erection of this house.
Back in 1889 The Star printed the fol-
lowing brief account of the place, but
even this leaves much to conjecture
The item reads:
The old Red Wood farmhouse, one
of the uniquely picturesque landmarks
of the District. is observed to the west
ward. This old house is of curious con-
struction, being fashioned after the no.
tions of the different persons who have
occupied 1t. The east wing was the
original building and, as will be seen,
was very unpretentious structure, but
it has been added to from time to time,
so that now, although somewhat dilapi-
dated, the house presents an imposing,
castlelike appearance. The original part
was built by DR.. Boyle of Washington
some 10 years ago, but the property
changed hands several times since then.
During the administration of James
Buchanan it was a fashionable resort,
one of the members of the Presidents
oficial family being the occupant"
Erasmus Middleton owned it at and
prior to 1840, the date he is said to have
sold to Henry Naylor. j. c. Turner and
John Boyle. In 1850 Charles E. D.
Wood bought the property from Naylor
and Turner, and Capt. Edmund French
bought the estate, consisting of 125
acres, from Wood for $500 on February
IL, 1858. Subsequently 80 acres of this
land became a part of the Geological
Park. Another reference to this prop
erty, before the writer. says that L. J.
Middleton once owned the place.
Properties in 1904
1t might be of more than passing in
terest, especially to those residing TN
Cleveland Park, to hark back to the
good old days Of 1904, and quote a few
figures on properties in this subdivi-
sion. For instance, one advertisement
reads:
Although among the properties for
sale in Cleveland Park are some ranging
in price as high as 5000. 1t is possible
to own a pretty home there costing not
more than 5000 for both house and
lot. Lots can be had as low as $1,000
500 cash and 20 a month. For cash,
6 per cent discount will be allowed. Lots
In one of the most desirable sections
of the park-50x130 feet-with 15-foot
alley. with ample room for a stable, can
be purchased for about $2,400. Good
lots. so feet wide. near Connecticut ave-
nue., are to be had at about $1,000. At
these prices 1t will seem that it is pos
sible to own . home In the park at q
very moderate outlay and on terms that
are most attractive. In no other Sec
ton in the District can lots be pur.
chased at lower prices or on easier
terms" .

 While the British and Aneri- cans may win sooner than expect ed, the Japanese, who are show ing signs of great weakness" among major points also.
 The Russian advance from Stal- ingrad constitutes the greatest cause of Hitler's undoing.
 The American air force in Britain alone, with the vastly en- Iarged RAF, are each larger than the entire German air force.
 He stated that the U-boat men ace is the greatest danger the Allies have to overcome.
 The Italian campaign is slower but will be won, due To the fact that 25 German divisions and a large German air force held Italy :, hough they were needed else where.

FRENCH LICK, Ind, April g.
Jimmy Dykes, vociferous Chicago
White Sox manager, walled loud
and long today that his team had
been evicted from the Chicago Cubs
spring training field here and had
been forced to cancel a scheduled
game with a soldier team from
Camp Breckenridge.
Nonpartisan observers, recalling
last years squable over Dykes af-

might be brewing again.
The latest rupture in Sox- Cubs
relations, never too cordial, came

|Angof Remains 10
Choice 10 Conquer
Perry Tomorrow

Odds for tomorrow nights Uline
Arena fight between local favorite
Aaron Perry and the out Of town
name fighter, Sammy Angott, are
holding close to 2-l, favoring An
| gott, despite the fact that calm COM
lparison Of records would have An
tgott q much heavier choice than
Ihe Is.
Angott Is q veteran Of eight years,
ia bruising, mauling, bulling type,
who has defeated Just about every
body who is anybody in his weight
division. He's strong puncher. but
|no knocker-o -outer. On the other hand
he never has been knocked out and
Perry's chance for victory seem to
lrest largely on his chilling punch.
He's displayed that on more than
one ocasion both here and In New
York, but he never has been sent
against any one approaching An
Igott's caliber.
Angot isn't the fancy Dan type
Of boxer who jabs and runs. His
style Is more that Of frankie Wills
with q lot Of short punching and
some bulling and pushing around.
He isn't hit lot. +.
Helping keep the price close Is
the local money from those who
have seen Perry's lethal right In
action and also the real conf
dence expressed by Harry Garsh,
Perry's manager. Garsh thinks q
lot OF his boy and wouldn't be
throwing him In against Angott If
he didn't believe Aaron had q very
good chance Of taking home first
prize. IF I didn't consider Perry
q great natural fighter I wouldn't
have him in this spot" Garsh ex-
plains. "You watch, he'll give this
Angott . real fight. Good as Perry
Is there are some boys ! wouldn't
send him against, but Angott's not
one Of them"
Another factor Is that Angott and
his manager, Charley Jones, might
be taking this bout too lightly
Angott has been training hard, its
true, but Jones admits he doesn't
know much about Perry and ap-
parently isn't too interested in find
ing out. II hear he's good" said
Jones, "but we haven't seen him
Angott can take care Of these boys
on the way up."
