CBNfRALS WIN FROM
WESTERN SCHOOL NINE
Small Attendance at Game or
Georgetown Field.
Fact That Neither Team Has Show of
Winning Seasons Pennant Causes
Little Enthusiasm.

Central 9, Western 5, is the result of
yesterdays game between the teams
from the Central and Western High
Schools played on the Georgetown Field.
The game did not evoke the enthusiasm
that most Of the High School games
have caused in this year's series, per-
haps on account OF the fact that the
cUntcsting teams have little show of
winning the pennant this season. The
few followers and rooters that were
present made up as best they could for
the lack of lung power and did their best
to cheer their team on TO victory.
The championship Of the Inter-High
School series of games now lies between
the Business and Technical teams. Neither
of these teams has lost a game, and when
they meet on the Georgetown Field Fri
day afternoon ii is expected that one
OF the largest crowds that has ever wit
messed a high school game will be present
The Centralites were not In their usual
coed form yesterday, but they we're able
to give the boys from Georgetown a

IA HeAtrict EuliErafinn

VIENNA. Dec. %. Early in January
the government proposes TO introduce
in the reichsrath an important bill to
restrict and regulate emigration. One
of the main objects of this measure
will be the routing of all Austrian
emisrants in Austrian vessels from
Trieste instead of permitting them to
travel by German and other foreign
steamship lines. The Fremdenblutt, Il
senliotticial organ. warmly supports
the government bill in the interests Of
home shipping. This paper estimates
that in the last five years Austria Hun
garian cmigrants have taken from the
country $2S,0O0,0O0 the bulk of which
has been paid to foreign railroads and
steamship lines.
