HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC NOTES

A lot of people have the impression
that the reason the high school games
are to be played al Union League Park
this summer is because the high school
athletic advisors couldn't see their way
clear 10 pay high price for the Ma
ton Park grounds. Such an idea is er-
roneous.
II was found that according to the
schedule OF the American League games.
IL would be impossible for more than
three of the high school games to be
played at the National Park. AS this
would be unfair 10 the high schools who
would not have the chance to play on
the better grounds. It was decided best
10 play all the games at the northeast
grounds. Surely the high school ath-
ietc associations, who have been ac-
cused of cheapness by one of the local
papers. could hardly be expected to pro-
vide enough money 10 buy the park away
from the American League so that they
could play this seasons high school cham
pionship games there. TO the exclusion
of the Washington ball club.
Things begin 10 look as though Curly
Bryd may not coach the Western High
School baseball team after all, as 1t IS
said lie will be busy with affairs at
Georgetown until the close Of school at
that institution.
Eddie Donovan viii be remembered as
the lad who played on ST. Stephens
team last year in this city. Eddie Is ELI
gible at last for the Western High School
baseball team. the new rule regarding
advisory marks permitting him TO play
in the high school championship games.
Hillyer, who plays second, and Is out for
second base at Western, is entered in the
5O-yard dash in the Georgetown meet, and
is expected by the Red and White en-
thusiasts to win place in the event.
Western High rOOters are looking
for their man Upman to beat Hunt
and his Central High teammates in the
hurdle at the Georgetown meet Church,
who is out for the ball team. is entered
in the $50.
Hillyer and Tanner are entered on
Westerns relay team. which is to race in
the meet tomorrow night,
Things do not look SO bright as they
did for a championship team at West
ern next football season. Krentzlin. who
played center, and Jones, right tackle,
who has gone to Georgetown Prep, have
both left, and now it is Pierce-Charley
Pierce-who starred at right end. Charley
has left school to enter the Revenue
Cutter Service He was a consistent
player, and distinguished himself by his
spectacular tackllng. Jones, by the way,
IS now a prominent candidate for the
Props crew at the Hilltop institution.
Central High is going after the team
trophy with a vengeance Saturday night,
and Coach "BiIl" Foley will be on hand
with twenty-five entries to cop the hon
ors.
We're waiting 10 see what Ham"
.spransy. Centrars huge track captain.
can do in the hammer throw Saturday
night, They say the big fellow is COM
ing strong this year, and we look 10
see him do his size justice in heaving
the lead at Georgetown's meet.
Maybe the Eastern players won't be
there" with their little white and blue
uniforms. Too bad the color won't last.
But old Mother Earth always did hate
white. and try to change to color.
Track things are moving pretty slowly
up at Eastern. Coach Noseck. of the
Y. NJ c. A. who has charge of the
candidates. has only had twelve men to
work with so far. Chase is entered in
the 44O-yard dash Saturday night, and
Defandcrf. manager OF the team. is in
the 6OO-yard novice. Rappaport, a new
