lively bid for first honors in the high
school series this srring
Fred Koschwitz, a former student at
Central High School and who played one
of the backs on the 1907 foot ball team,
is strong contender for position on the
freshman crew at Pennsylvania Collese
this season. The crew has not as yet been
picked, but Koschwitz has made a good
impression the coach by his earnest
work, and it would not be at all surprising
to hear that he had won position on the
eight in the near future.
When Technical High commences its
spring base ball practice this season one
of the members of last years nine who
will be greatly missed is Brewster.
the erstwhie foot ball and base ball
player of this school. Brewster never
shone nearly as much on the diamond as
he did on the gridiron. but he always
played a consistent game and was always
there when 1t came to putting up his best
article of ball in pinches. Ofutt. former
player on the Garrett Park nine, will in
all reliability handle Dolly GrayS de-
livery this season, and with a little coach
ing should soon be able to deliver the
goods.
The Western High track team will begin
outdoor training at the bathing beach
quarters as soon as the weather permits.
DR.. Hudson, who has the boys in hand
again this season, expects to develop the
hurdlers and broad jumpers as soon as the
outdoor work commences. The outdoor
meet which is scheduled to take place
between Eastern and Western has not as
yet been arranged, but will take place as
soon as the two schools come to terms on
date suitable to both institutions.
Prof" Boernstine, a former Business
High School track man. ran a creditable
race for Georgetown College last Saturday
night. and. although slightly outdistanced
at the finish he pushed his man at every
turn This Is Boernstine's first appear
ance in fast company, and with little
more experience and training he is ex-
pected to be right on the job

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Mergenthaler stock appeared to be In
abundance at the meeting of the ex-
change today. and at 2O5. The buying
however, proved TO be good. and after
fifty shares had been taken at that price
the figures shaded off quarter OF a
point and a number OF odd lots and one
quotation lot sold for 2O4a4.
There was no more stock offered at
that price. The bid did not rise above
oO41s. at which it closed. while the asking
price returned to POS. Some attention
was given to the trading in this security,
for the reason that it is not common Tor
1t to be dealt in 10 such an extent as
was the case today.
The conclusion is reached by some who
are familiar with the stock in the market
that the bottom of the current decline
has been reached. but how correct that is
will of course, only be determined in the
future.
The common stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company achieved
the distinction today of selling at the best
price that has been paid for 1t since De-
cember. 1906. when the same level was
reached a s was the case today, when nifty
shares sold for 43s4.
In the fall of the previous year the
stock reached the highest point in its
history. when it sold for 44as. Today
fifty shares sold at first for 4312, which
was the bid price of. yesterday for a time.
\ number of odd lots were disposed OF
at 433, and the buyer also bid an eighth
of a point higher for large blocks. AT
the close the bid was 431a and the asking
price A..
