all unfinished business will be disposed
of. The league is still without a vice
president, but it is expected that the
committee appointed to look after that
matter will be ready to report this morn

The Sunday School League will intro

this season, and 1t is planned to furnish
the score Of the Nationals by innings,

Rain yesterday prevented the playing OF
all local games. 1t was unfortunate that
such was the case, as it is probable that
each OF the contests scheduled for the
| colleges would have been an interesting
affair, as the teams cOmpeting were
very evenly matched. Pennsylvania and
Georgetown played to a close score Fri.
day, and with Clark in the box for the
Quakers 1t would have been an even bet
ter bet that there would have been some
tall ball playing before the finish of the
nine innings had the game come OFF, Out
at Brookland the Catholic University was
booked to play Delaware College, and by
SO far this year there is little doubt tina,
they would have made things more than
interesting for the local crew.
Western High, which was scheduled to
go to Port Deposit to meet the Tome
Institute nine, received a telegram from
the manager of that team early in the
morning stating that it would be useless
to come, as the grounds were in soaked
condition as a result of the rain which
had been falling since early Friday
! night.
| Moran, the Washington and Lee
pitcher who struck out twenty Of the
Maryland Aggies in the game against
some classy pitcher Not only did
Moran fan twenty of the opposing
batsmen, but he did not allow anything
that looked like hit. and the only two
men who reached first got there on
two passes issued by him.
| Hoffecker. who did the twirling for
the Farmers was not in poor form
himself. as he allowed the university
nine but four hits. and the two runs
which were made off him were the re-
suit Of errors.
There is a great deal of speculation
i as to who will start the game in the
pitchers box for Tech and Western
in the first battle for the high school
supremacy this spring. On the men
who step into the box for their re-
! spective schools will depend in a great
Good pitching is the whole thing. az far
as the winning Of q high school game
| is concerned. and the chances are that
the school which produces the goods
in tho box Is the one tnat Will get away
with the long end Of the score. TAX
ing into consideration the men Tech
has been working in the practice games
it would seem that Austin or Hutchin-
son will have the call for that team.
although If Tew is eligible he will
PROBABLY receive some consideration.
There are several other men who. it is
claimed, are just as good as the ones
mentioned. There are but two men
for western to choose from. and it is
certain that either Scofeld or Holden
will be seen in the box for that nine.
Both men have done good work. and
both have been guilty Of giving some
mighty poor, exhibitions in the practice
games It will probably be a toss up
as to which of the two will be sent In.
Buscher, who has been in town for the
past few days, trying to- land job with
one Of the departments in preference to
taking his chance with the Wilmington
club, to which he was sold by Baltimore
left yesterday for that city. It seems
though, that he left Just before time, as
| the place was secured for him yesterday
| and it is probable that he will be sent
| for by the manager Of that team. Buschel
and Grason would make battery TO,
the Interior team which could hardly b
e0uaied in any Of the amateur leagues.
