PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR ERNAN LOAN American and British Bank-| ers Discuss Details in London Conferences. BY HAL O'FLAHERTY. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News Lo \, September 4.—Private ions between American and nkers over details of float- ing the Dawes loan for Germany have taken place this week both in Lon- don and on the continent. The chiefs of three great American banks, John 3 P. Morgan and Paul ve been quietly sounding as to how much of the d be floated in Europe and ch in the United States. British bankers seem to lean heav- fly toward distributing at least $50,- 000.000 of the loan among neutral and allied countries, leaving Great Britain to raise a like amount. The balance of $100,000,000 would be raised in America. Prospects Bright.

C. Relegated at Meeting for Snappy Discussion of Base Ball—Recall Another Winning Team in Capital. If Stanley Harris and his band of fighting Nationals could have listenea in last night at the keyhole of old Union Engine House, Nineteenth and H streets northwest, they "would have realized how completely they have taken this town by storm in their dash for the American League pen- nant. The Oldest Inhabitants of the Dis- trict of Columbia were meeting there, but a stranger would never have guessed it. True, there was a silver hue to the heads of those gathered, but the faces were beaming with boyhood smiles. They were not dis- cussing the early development of Washington as a city or Washington as the Nation's Capital. They were talking base ball. And, while they are all rooting for the pennant of 1924, they turned back the pages of their memories to remind the vounger fans of today that Washington has ‘turned out other famous ball players in the | years of long ago. Recalls Winning Team. One of the old-timers of the di- amond—William E. Wise—was there —_— ready interested in German finance, British industrialists evince considerable alarm over re- ports that Germany has reduced ex- port freight rates on the railways with the object of giving exporters an unreasonable advantage in over- seas markets. Their anxiety is un- warranted, because the various Dawes commissions are given the power to check any such maneuver and pre- vent any great reduction in the net revenue of the railways. (Copyright, 1924, by Chicago Daily News Co.) THE EVENING last night and recalled that, although Washington may see its first world series between the two major leagues this year, it had a winning ball team in the Eastern Association in 1883, headed by Mike Scanlon. This team, he said, performed on a diamond at New Jersey avenue and C street, and many of his pioneer comrades nodded their recollection of it. John Claggett Proctor brought up the subject when he read a paper suggested by the recent spurt of the Washington team. He began with the days when the Nationals played on a lot between Sixtcenth and Seven- teenth, R and S streets, after which they moved to, the square bounded by Ninth and Tenth, S and T streets. In addition to Billy Wise he men- tioned Bob Barr, a veteran employe of the District government, as an- other firon-armed pitcher of that period. © Phil Baker, a catcher on the team at that time, never used a mask of a glove, Mr. Proctor said. Every Finger Broken. “Every finger on his hands was distorted from having béen broken time and again,” Mr. Proctor con- tinued. “Indeed, the catcher's mask was not used until 1876 and the ch protector and gloves al Special Sale of Fall Coats of Overplaid Polos at From the first it was regarded by many as unsportsmanlike to use these protections. The first gloves used were not of the present design, but were the regular men's dress kid gloves with the fingers cut off. “The present generation feels that the game is now played more scientif- ically than It was 40 or 50 years ago. T am one of those who do not think s0. The rules of the game have seen many changes since then, and it is these changes which, to some, make the game of today seem different to that played in the 70s and 80s " Another interesting paragraph in Mr. Proctor's*recollections was a de- scription of the uniform worn by a team of Natlonals about 1862. It con- sisted of dark blue trousers and jack- et, a red belt, jockey cap and chamols leather gaiters. Gives Facts on Alexandrin. After the pioneer citizens had fought over again the base ball battles of 40 years ago Joseph 1. Keefer read a short paper on the early history of Alexandria, Va. The paper dealt prin- cipally with a sketch of the family of John Summers, the first resident of the area which became the city of Alexandrla. ' Mr. Keefer *said that on one occa- sion Summers, who was a hunter, was offered a large tract of land in what later became Alexandria in exchange for his favorite rifle, but refused the offer. Washington Topham gave a short account of the effort to establish Jackson City in Virginia, just across the Potomac from Washington, in 1836. On behalf of William S. Parks, Capt. George W. Evans turned over to the association a number of old newspapers. One told of the return of Admiral Dewey in 1899, and the >thers gave accounts of f President Me STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
