CENTRAL ALUMNUS
ENTERS PROTEST

Sporting Editor Of The Times.
The decision rendered last Friday night
by the board OF athletic advisers OF the
high schools debarring Cyrus Macdonald.
captain OF the Central football team.
from participating in al high school
contests Is. in the opinion OF the major
ity OF followers of interscholastic ath-
letics. TO be one OF great injustice.
The suspension was not one OF profess
sionalism. The board. which consists OF
Mr.. -. Western: Mr.. Tech
meal and Mr.. Kelly. Central, claiming
that this player was a member OF the
,, -nchester (Va.) baseball team the past
summer. and as they assert, the latter
was better club than any OF the school
aggregations, vas the reason for pre-
venting this boy from representing his
school
What the writer is anxious to know IS:
How, under the fsun, can this wise
board prove that the Winchester team
was better one than Central? Did
they ever compete against each other?
II not what possible dope can the board
furnish2 Ninety-nine out OF every 100
thought the Cubs would smother
the"White Sox." but did they?
1t seems that the direct object OF this
learned body is 10 prevent Macdonald
from competing in school games. not
taking into consideration his future
The claim is so absurd on the face of
II, and If this almost intelligent board
would stop TO consider the great injus-
tice they are doing by rendering a de-
cision Of this caliber, We are sure they
would reverse their opinion.

themselves protected. but the awaken

noon in question Chicago needed d
couple of runs and there was a run

the bat met the bali ii cracked like a
pistol shot. and away scared the sphere
at an angle of 80 degrees.

saloon as trophy.
