Corcoran Cadet Corps.
Through the decision of the League and
in strict accordance with its rule as to
playing ineligible players, the Corcoran Ca
det team is now in second place with five
games won and three lost.
Two OF these games came by the forfeit
rule one each from Government Printing
Office and Alexandria
With Devlin and Burbank, OF George
town, and King of the High School. and
Andre of the Gallaudet. the team is now
sufficiently strong to make the promised
better showing. 1t lost Fridays game TO
the Easterns probably the last game to
be played under League auspices.
The one game with Rockville is still un-
der protest and may have to be played
again if the League plays out its schedule.
Bradley has considerably strengthened
the team at bat and in the box. With
Jackson al first. Devlin second, Nixon
short. and Hamaker third. the team has
one Of the strongest infields in the League.
When Hamaker is in the box there is a
weak spo. at third and for this place Ack-
ers. King. and McGlue are trying. Ackers
is a good, -all-round man. formerly with
the Potomacs and comes well recommend
ed.
Deylin's coaching has brought about a
wonderful improvement In the team work.
There is more ginger in the game. Bradley
is a brother to the Rockville catcher OF
that name. and was formerly with Central
High School. O. p. SCHMIDT.
