League came over to Baltimore this aft

Mount Washington team of this city. Be-
cause OF the inability Of the regulars to
get away from the office the visiting
team was made up mostly OF substitute

team. He struck out eleven men, only
walked two and was hit only In three of
the ten innings The work Of this man
has been questioned, and it was believed
that he had gone back, but his ability to
get himself out Of dangerous holes
showed itself In the fifth inning. Before
a man had been retired he had filled the
bases on his own error. a short hit and
walk. The fourth man to face him was
struck out. the next was forced to hit
to the pitcher and the man coming home
was retired at the plate while the last
man went out by the strikeout route.
The entire contingent from the Capital
city showed up excellently, and the team
that beats them out In the race for the
departmental championship will know
that 1t has been playing ball.
These two teams will meet for a return
game In Washington next Saturday. The

MIDDIES WIN THEIR
FIRST LACROSSE GAME
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, April 17-In the
third game ef the season the Midshipmen
won their first lacrosse game here this
afternoon. when the Mount Washington
Juniors were downed. 8 to /. The visitors
were much the lighter and their physical
condition was not SO good as that Of the
Middies. While they held the Navy down
to a score Of IL for the first half. the
greater beef and better ability to stand
the heat and the speed Of the game told
in the second period. and Navy tailed
four goals. while the young fellows from
Baltimore were unable to score. They
did keep the sailors guessing and had
the ball in Navy territory much Of
the time. but could not bore in and score
at the critical points. Their first and
only tally came early in the first half,
when A. Baker carried the ball down the
field, passed it to Reese. who shot a
pretty goal. Ford Tailed an easy score
In the first half for Navy. and then in
the second half the Middies began to
rush matters. Hill carried down to Hib-
bard. who Tailed first, and then, shortly
after, Welsh caught rebound when
Ford had tried for goal, and, on the re-
turn pass, scored neatly. The visitors
had better stick work and excelled the
Middies in passing and team work, but
could not overcome the handicap of
weight and physical training. The lineup

NATIONALS IN new YORK.
Games There to Be Reproduced on
Electric Scoreboard in This City,

The Nationals play their first game on
hostile grounds Wednesday, when the
first game the New York American
League team plays on it's home grounds
occurs. Washington has turned out In
gratifying numbers to witness the home
games. and it will no doubt be regretted
by the fans when the team no longer
plays on it's own back lot. 1t was with
the idea In view of giving the teams
supporters an opportunity to see not
only the contests at the American League
Park but those in other cities as well
that the invention of an electric score
board was first contemporaries score
board that would bring before the spec
tators as near a real base ball game as
possible-and this has been realized to
remarkable degree in the electric score
board that will be presented at the Ma
tional Rifles Armory. 9th and G streets
northwest, when the team is away from
home. 1t Is a marvel. as the fans will
discover upon seeing 1t in operation. The

.PREPS' HARD WEEK AHEAD.
Georgetown Youngsters Slated fol
Five Games.

This weeks schedule will be the hard
est ever undertaken by Blue and Gray
prep base ball team. and II the Hilltop
Colts get through it with most Of the
games made victories they will indeed be
worthy of much congratulation. So far
Capt. Gaynor's nine has won four battles
and lost three, but the lads have by no
means lost hope, and they are confident
that before the season ends they will have
a substantial claim on the District inter-
scholastic championship.
Beginning tomorrow the Georgetown
lads will play five games in as many
days against as many good teams. Cen
trail High heads the list. with Episcopal of
Alexandria, Business High. Washington
School for Boys and Western High fol-
lowing in the order named. AS the var
sity will only play at home Wednesday
and Saturday, four of the prep games
will take place on the big field.
The Hilltoppers are especially anxious
as a victory against the Blue and White
would be the biggest boost that could
possibly be received. The downtown
team will go up on the heights with a
long string of victories to its credit. and
with Rheem on the slab and Menefee be-
hind the bat will put up as strong a
game as possible against its ancient
rivals. That Central Is capable OF doing
some star stunts with the bat and ball
has been shown more than once this sea-
son, SO that there Is no denying that the
preps are up against pretty tough prop
osition.
In order to be in the best possible form
the Blue and Gray lads will play a prac-
tice game today against the Sophomore
team Of the College Glass League. All
the men will be used during the contest
and couple Of pitchers will be tried out
Yesterdays defeat at the hands Of the
Stenographers showed many defects in
the playing. which will be remedied to-
day. SO that when the bunch lines up
present the strongest front Of the year.
Either Nawn or Mclaughlin will pitch.
