plans for the meet will appear in Sun
days Call.
Brother Joseph, moderator in athlet-
les at St. Mary's college, presided at
last evenings meeting. Since he has
been acting as president of the Catholic

guished himself by his executive abil-
ity and his devotion to detail work.
The vice president, Brother Thomas of
St James school. has been most in
defatigable worker on this side of the
bay. 1t is due largely to these enthus-
iastic educators that the league has
made such rapid strides during the
last few months

The weatherman has promised to do
his best tomorrow, but will not say
much for Saturday. Today was perfect
for baseball and it was a shame the
first battle could not have been played.
Garry Hermann, chairman of the Ma

morning from Cincinnati. They were
accompanied by Manager Griffith of the
Reds and Cincinnati newspapermen.

morrow follows:
