EPISCOPAL HIGH
BEATS CITY COLLEGE

ALEXANDRIA. Va, April S-The City
College base ball team of Baltimore yes
terday went down to defeat before the
strong nine of the Episcopal High School
of this city in a most closely contested
game by II to 10. The game required ten
innings to decide which team was the
winner, the score was 10 to 10 at the
end Of the ninth inning.
The Baltimore boys took their oppo-
nents by surprise at first. and at the end
of the fourth the score was to 1 in their
favor. j. Steinbach scored two home
runs and Pieper and Rowe one each for
the visitors while Pendleton and Conway
each made home run for the local team.
There was high wind. and this was
largely responsible for the long hits, as it
carried the ball over the fielders' heads
and made the flies hard to judge.
After the fourth inning the High School
lads began gradually to catch up with
their opponents. and in the eighth inning
home run. In the ninth inning neither
team was able to score. Hewitt tailed
the winning run for the local team in the
next inning on twO-bagger by Pendle-
ton.
The feature was the all-around playing

bach. The game was a regular swatfest

this morning by a Star reporter. and he
said he was immensely pleased with be-

nearly veteran, his judgment is worth
something.
IF the team can continue the games
1t has put up in practice" said Conroy.
1T ought to get a good start. Every
body has become thoroughly acquainted
with each others play. and the inside
work is of the very best. Hughes and
Burns have been burning them up out
west and Johnson never looked better
until he caught cold. Charley Smith is
better than ever. and the other twirlers
will get going all right when warm
weather comes. You can. take it from
me. the Washingtons are a great deal
stronger than last year.
None of the advance guard had heard
anything about securing Cree from the
New Yorks but every one had words of
praise for the little outfielder.
