Fitzpatrick Suspended From

MAKES WRITTEN APOLOGY

/ AS finale TO the recent trouble in the
local high schools involving the refusal
OF the inter-high school athletic board
to allow Pitcher Beckett. OF the Bust
ness school, TO enter the CHAMPIONSHIP
games, James Fitzpatrick, captain of the
! Business team. has been suspended from,
the public schools Of the District. This
step was taken by Director Hughes of
the Washington high schools. as rep
rlmand 10 Fitzpatrick. who openly shog-
ed his displeasure at the boards decis-
ion in manner considered unbeconino
pupil OF the public schools.
1t is now stated upon good authority
that Fitzpatrick has rendered. in per
son, written apology TO the board for
MS hasty words, and that the restrictions
upon his pursuing his studies at the
business will shortly be removed.
The Beckett Affair.
The youthful ball players suspension
resulted from his attitude in the Pect-
EFT affair. When Beckett. who was the
star player of the Business nine and
upon whom the pupils of that school re-
; hed largely for the ultimate success
OF their team, was prohibited from en-
tering the championship games, Fitz-
patrick naturally took the matter 10
heart. He saw that with Beckett OUT
of the way Business chances for win
ming the championship this year would
be sadly diminished. 1t was he who was
largely instrumental in bringing the
matter again before the attention Of the
board, in hopes of having the pitcher
reipstated. 1t was in a feverish state
of anxiety that he awaited the final de-
! cision of the case. The members of the
athletic board We're holding their ses-
| sion at the Central High School. and

Denounced the Board.
| When at length word was brought him
that the board had formally declined to
reconsider the matter. Fitzpatrick's
pent-up anger got the better OF his dis
cretion. II is said that he then and
there announced his intention of going
up and telling the board exactly what
he thought of every fellow on it He
did
AS the story goes. Fitzpatrick
straightway entered the presence of the
| august tribunal. and without much loss
! CT time launched into a general de-
Dunciation OF the board and its actions
| Only hearsay gives q clue TO just what
happened in the room after that Suf-
, fcient to state that the affair quickly
reached the ears OF Director Hughes
who promptly decreed that the Business
High School and all other institutions
! of learning in the District would. until
| further notice. be run without the pres
ence of the aforesaid Captain F'itzpat-
rick. This summary termination OF
| Fitzpatrick's career as High School
student caused no little stir
But, given time to think the matter
over calmly. the Young mans better
judgment asserted ~.eIf. He presented
q written apology TO the board, which
was accepted Although nothing definite
could be learned of the probable action
in the matter. FitZpatrick's full rein
statement is looked for in the near fu-
ture.
