Gray's Work in Box, With
Good Support, Responsible
for IS to Victory.
High School League

By soundly trOuncing Eastern High
yesterday afternoon by Is 10 l, in a
game Astounding with errors and loose
playing, the Technical baseball team
made a clean sweep of the interhigh
series and thereby won the District
championship and the Princeton alumni
cup.
Had the manual training team lost

Iech would have been tied for first
place and Eastern would have had a
clear title 20 third place. 1t was thought
Dy some that the Light Blue and White
would torce the champions into a form
reversal, and turn the trick. However
the Technical leader presented his
strongest lineup with Gray on the slab.
Inc sturdy little pitchers curves never
DIohe better. and the support accorded

high school title.

inning rally by TO 2
KING arthur irwin 3 crew might have
played a better game. but Cor all the
three errors booked against them they
showed strong in the pinches, In pitch

pitted against Mckay and hOnOrs went
TO the former. though the visiting
twirler did good work. Topham allowed
no passes and struck out three men,
while Mckay walked three men and
had no strike-outs TO his credit. Both
were found for seven hits apiece.
While much OF the credit for the VIC

With the pick Of the college athletes

NEW YORK, May 90.-The great
-year-old racer, Colin, who was re-
ported to have broken down while exer-
cising Thursday, may race In the Bel

De Courcey Forbes, manager Of the

jury 70 Colin, which was first thought
10 be a bowling Of the tendons OF the
forelegs, is nothing more than an in

and that the swelling mas now prac-
tically subsidized. Mr.. Forbes stated to-
night that Collins tende1s are perfectly
straight.
Until late yesterday James Howe,
trainer Of the Keene stable. and Mr..

had suffered a bowling OF the tendOns
Of his forelegs. and that his breakdown
was complete. The swelling however,
began TO disappear, ard enabled q more

BOSTON. May 30.-Superb pitching by
enc young man named Gates and su-
perior fielding with never an error by
the men behind him gave Washington
the opening game OF the double-headcr
here yesterday before one OF the largest
crowds OF the season.
Until the eighth inning the game was
closely contested, both teams lighting
gamely with Washington having slight
~ the better of the argument Wash
ington started the ball rolling in the
fourth. Bob Ganley'5 triple TO right
developed into the first run Of the game
when il was closely followed by Pick
erings sizzling single to the same gar
den. This with two men down. Pick
eTIng then tried 70 steal second and
was caught mile.
Boston evened up in its half when
Cravath caught a straight one square
ly on the nose and poked the ball far
out 10 the center field fence for the
circuit. When Gessler followed with a
hit, the Boston fans were set of and
right here Gates showed his true
metal Instead of becoming nervous.
the Jibes from the bleachers seem
ed to steady him and from that time
on no Boston man reached first.

Washing on Bats Well.

The visitors batted like fiends. Can
ley and Mcbride each nailed three pref
ty ones, while Delehanty. Pickering.
Street, and Shipke are each credited
with two. And the best part OF IL al
for the winners was that nearly every
hit came at an OppOTtune TIME. Their
erTOrs-eaCh side had twO-bOth came
when the ball might have been thrown
over the fence without doing harm,
while both OF Boston $ counted.
With both drawing blanks in the first
Washington pushed one over "a the sec
ond. Washington kept this lead until
the fifth when two more went over. Bos-
ton duplicated, and came back with still
another two which gave them a lead
with the score to 3. In the next Wash
ingtOn went ahead by putting two over,
but Boston came back anC tied IL up.
Both drew blanks in the eighth. and in
the final round Boston was unable TO
