good man for the position.

Austin Howard who played such a cred
liable game on the last championship nine
to represent Western High School few
years ago. will make his first bow to his
many Washington followers as a college
player on the Cornell team, which is
scheduled to play Georgetown Saturday.
He was known Throughout the high
schools as an all-around infelder. and
f1edged ball player, and for this reason
alone should keep up with the pace set
in college base ball. Howard played in
the Commercial League of this city last
summer, and ranked among the top
notchers of that organization.
Richardson. the heavy hitting outfielder
OF the Centralites. Is displaying a guam
tity of speed on the bases this season. and
as his fielding and batting have always
been up to true high school standard. he
looks to be a strong contender fer one OF
the otufield positions on the all-high team
this spring. Richardson has been training
faithfully during the winter months on
the track under Bill Foley, and has
gained considerably more speed than he
possessed last season.
Central High lines up with Episcopal
High Saturday. and the contest will be
closely watched in order to get line
on the comparative strength Of Technical
and Central. Tech beat the Episcopalians
by the score of to 3.
Lee Martin, the erstwhile athlete OF
Eastern High School. does not seem to
be lining them out in his usual manner

~ made the report that Whitney, his old
battery mate, seemed to possess every
thing in the line of curves this year,
and should give the high school batters
of the opposing teams all sorts Of trou-
BILE in solving his delivery.
Technical Highs pitching phenom. Of
futt. seems to experience considerable
difficulty in keeping up in his studies
and it would not be at all surprising if
this fault kept him from participating in
the high school series this spring
Spencer. the speedy outfielder OF last
years combination. also seems to be
son. and may not be seen in the Machin-
lists lineup this year.
Robson. the all-around athlete of
Western High School. who was COM
PEELED to quit the infield on the base
ball nine on account Of trouble with his
eyes, seems to be playing his best game
in the outfield for the boys across the
Robeson's first year as an outfelder,
his fielding and batting seem to be
greatly improv ed since he, made the
change from the infield to the outer gar
den.
Morris, the hefty catcher Of Technical
High School. who has been lining them
out In the daily practice on the White
Lot grounds, sprang into the limelight in
high school circles when he cleared the
bases last Saturday at Episcopal High
School with long home run. clinching
the game for the Machinists. The
grounds at Episcopal High are SO
arranged that it takes hard knock to
register four-sacker. and. judging from
this fact. Morris must have let the ball
have all he had.
In Hinwood the Stenographers seem to
have natural hitter, and judging from
the way he has been registering up hits
in the practice games ton a by Bust
ness this season he bears watching by
the high school pitchers. Hinwood can
also cover considerable ground in the
outfield, and will undoubtedly prove
great addition to the StenOgraphers this
