HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

| Recent reports from Business are to the
effetc that the track squad will enter the
spring meet this season in a crippled
condition owing to the fact that some OF
the best men in the squad have been ruled
out via the funk route. This seems
pity. as the Stenopraphers have been
training faithfully all winter and were
looking forward to make a good showing
in the spring competitions. Rathbone,
one OF the best all-around track men in
the school, and Holland who ranks with
any of the high school track men in the
distance runs, have both been disqualified
by the last advisory marks. The school
will enter team. however, but its best
chances of landing many points have re-
ceived severe, setback.
Western Will enter the spring games
TINS season with one of the fastest relay
teams which ever represented the " est
End High School This team can we'll be
remembered by the followers of track
athiet1cs for its splendid showing in the
local indoor competitions during the past
winter months. 1t speaks well for a track
squad il a we'll seasoned relay can be
picked from the many candidates, for as
a rule a runner who can make good as
a member of relay Is also usually Ca
pable of running the 44O and dash events
at good clip. This gives the squad
strong foundation upon which to build
up winning team. The boys across the
creek expect to be heard from when the
high schools clash in the track and field
events.

advisers of the various high schools to
mold the annual track meet this coming
Friday afternoon on Georgetown Field at
O'Clock. The meet was to come off last
saturday, but the poor condition of the
track caused it to be postponed. Central
is predicted to be easy winner. as this
school has always led the other local
schools in track athletics, and. in fact, is
noted throughout the east for the excel
lent track men it has turned out in fast
company.
Central will celebrate its base ball VIC
| tories and the championship the nine has
recently annexed some time during the
coming week. The PLAYERS who will prob
ably make short addresses in behalf of the
team are Capt. Macdonald and Boetler,
whose pitching was largely responsible
for so many won games. Central will lose
several of its players through graduation
this coming June, but the school will be

a winning team when base ball work is
taken up again next spring. Plenty of
promising material was uncovered at the
o Street School this season which should
make good for the next few seasons in
base ball.
Eastern cannot boast of a very promis-
ing outlook on the track this year, and it
is doubtful if the Southeast boys have
any entries i'm the meet this Friday. The
material at the Capitol Hill School is not
very plentiful and the supporters of the
athletic games are finding ii extremely
difficult to uphold the schools end along
athletic lines but are doing all within
their power to make the best possible
showing The tide is bound to turn some
day, Eastern.
The basket ball candidates of Business
High got together Monday afternoon and
elected Dodge captain of the quint for
next season, and Scott, who captained
the five during the last campaign, man
ager. 1t is the intention of these two
boys to develop fast team TO represent
the Stenographers on the floor next year.
| 1t Is hardly likely that a basket ball
| league will be formed among all the
high schools. but it would boost high
| school athletics considerably il all the
| high schools interested in the sport would
| play a series of games and have a cham
| piCnship series among themelves. Many
| think if regular series of games was
be long before all the high schools would
| fall in line, and that the tossing game
would be permanently established as g.
| local high school sport.
| Great doings will happen on the Bust
mes alumni excursion. which will take
place June 6, to Marshall Hall. 1t is the
intention of the management of this af-
fair to hold track meet. the entries to
be open to all the public and private
school boys in the District. Medals will
be given to the individual winners and
a cup will be given as trophy to the
athlete winning the greatest number of
points iE the meet. The management
Is also trying to arrange a match relay
race among the various local high schools

but could easily be shifted to the outfeld,
owing to his heavy hitting.
1t is also the opinion of many that
Morris of Technical should be the all
| high catcher. as 1t is claimed he is a
better batter than Menefee. but in pick
! ing a battery to represent an ail-hish

hence the choice. Falconer of Technical
