anxious to win from the Philadeiphlans.

spring, as there are several new men

High School League
First Game Today
Technical and Western Meet Today at Van
Ness Park-Teams More Evenly Matched
Than Ever Before--Close Race.

The inter-high school baseball cham
pionship season opens this afternoon,
when last years champions. Technical,
cross bats with Western.
With the opening of the baseball Sc
ries athletics in the high schools will
gain added impetus. Rivalry between
the various schools has never been so
keen as now, and the games this year
give promise of being hOtly contested
and interesting. For the first time in
years the baseball teams representing
the five high schools-Business, Eastern,
Central. Western, and Technical-are
evenly matched, and any one of them
has a show for carrying off the much
coveted pennant All the school teams
have met the leading amateur aggrega-
tons OF ball tOssers Of the city, and in
nearly every instance came off victori-
Gus.

supported by the students of the train
ing school should be an example 10
the other high schools. They have
turned out in force at all the athletic
events, and even in the practice games
have lent encouragement TO the team
by their presence.
Got Everything Last Year.
Last year the Techs made a clean
sweep of football, baseball, and COM
petitive drill, and have the football
championship for the year in their
belts. They argue the baseball scalp
would look good there. too.
Yesterday they trounced the Friends
Select team by the score of 10 to 3. and
the boys ought to be in good condition
for today's game.
The game today will be played at Van
Ness Park, and will be called at 2:40

Fultz Almost as Good.

In the sixth inning Fultz made a
catch off Mccormick in center that was
almost as good as that made by
Thoney, and aroused the crowd TO the
highest pitch of enthusiasm.
About the game itself-inability to hit
caused all the trouble. Seven safeties
were made, but with the exception OF
Drill not a man delivered the goods at
the critical moment. In three OF the
innings the Senators opened with a hit.
In not one of them did a second hit
come, and the runners persisted. Such
sticking as that counteracts all the
good work in fielding, and makes the
heart Of the fan sick and sore.
Get Stickers.
No matter what the cost in the field,
something should be done at once to get
few batters on the team. for at the
present rate, with all the strong East
ern teams coming this way, Washing
on seems likely not to win a game for
the next six weeks.
Perhaps the arrival of Patsy Donovan
will help things, and brace up the or
ganization. Two days experience here
will show Patsy the weak points, and
as he Is TO nave full control OF the play
ers. he may be expected TO get busy I'M
mediately.
