HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC NOTES

Herbert J. Babcock, the Eastern High
outhelder and star quarter back on last
years football team. is going to Dart
mouth College next fall, and the Vermont
institution viii get a good one. Incl
dentalIy, Herb is captain of this years
cadet company at The Capitol Hill School.
and is picked as a winner by those who
know him. Just watch Company F, and
wait
Garner, the star half hack at Western
High School. is going out for the baseball
team. Now that McArdle is out Of the
game until the next advisory goes in,
Garner VIII probably play in left field.
for which place he is trying now.
II Lyon. the Eastern High School
pitcher on whom most Of the early sea
son work will fall now that Whitney has
funk, should blow up in any Of the
games. Capt. Parker. the teams back
stop. viii go in the box. Parker pitched
a few innings at Charlotte Han last
spring when the team played that school.
and did good work If he does pitch.
Fitzhugh viii move in from the out
field and do the catching.
The Business High school Tennis Club
with Johnny Bridget manager. has or
gaRized for the coming season, and viii
soon start practice. Courts have already
been obtained. and it IS the intention OF
those interested in the sport 70 arrange
for fnterclass matches later on.
Tennis is a sport that has never. for
some reason, met with any enthusiastic
reception in the high schools Of this city
There is no reason why ali Of the schools
should not have teams to represent them
in this popular warm weather game
There are many skillful players in the
schools who are representing other clubs
during the warm weather, and with
couple of years OF playing interest should
be aroused TO such an extent among the
pupils OF the schools that others viii also
organize clubs.
There is some talk again OF forming
bowling teams IN the several high schools
next winter. and playing regular inter
high school series for the championship
each year. Such a league, If formed,
would find a large number OF interested
boys an each school. and In the time be-
tween the end OF the football season and
the opening OF baseball practice. when the
track interest is the only one with any
followers. It would be an interesting d.
version to those who understand the
game.
Harry Wilson. the first baseTnan and
manager of the Business High School
second team, will be taken over 10 the
first team this week. and will get try
out on first sack there. Harry Is there
with the goods and with little more ex-
perience. should make an Al man to
cover the initial bag for the Stenogra-
piers.
Capt. Frank Davis. OF the Business
High School team, who has been out OF
the game for some little time with
case of blood poisoning In his arm.
is ready for work again, and was out for
practice the last couple Of days. "InSy's'
return TO the team viii make a big dif-
ference IN all the men, and he manages
to keep them on the jump. The practices
will be much faster from now on than
they were before, his absence causing a
big difference in the playing Of the men.
With Capt. Davis back in the game at
Business. Beall, who has been covering
third base. has been moved 10 right field.
and. will probably hold his place on sc-
count Of his ability to swat the leather
where Il counts most
