SCHOOL HEADS SOON
TO PASS ON YOUNG
ATHLETES STATUS
Call for Gathering Is Indica-
ton of Questions
Importance.
WHOLE SCHEDULE
THOUGHT AT STAKE
Teachers Must Decide If Games
Are to Be Replayed or
Called Off.

It was learned today that the meeting
of the principals of the five high schools
to take up consideration of the eligibil,
ity of one of the players of the West
ern team will be held Tuesday
Since the protest was made at the
time of the Central game, both sides in
the controversy have been active in
studying the case, and when the ques-
ton comes up for decision there will be
quite bit of data for the heads of
the schools to consider.
AS the question of the eligibility of
one of the players enters into all the
games played by Western, the princi-
pals will have to decide whether the
schedule will have to be gone over
again or the series for this year de-
clared of. y
Western is said to be prepared to pre-
sent evidence that the player in question
simply withdrew on sick leave while
the other faction is said to be prepared
to make objection to this, claiming that
the player withdrew without intention
of re-enteTing.
In the high schools aroused such wide
spread discussion among the followers
of scholastic sport On Thursda it was
announced in these columns that a pro-
test had been registered.
This was later denied, but as is
shown by a call Off a principals meet
ing, the full Importance of the situa-
ton is felt by those at the heads of the
institutions interested.

GALLAUDET TAKES
AN EXCITING GAME
FROM WASHINGTON
Both Teams Bat Hard and
Score Is in Doubt to
Last Inning.

CHESTERTowN, Md. May 21.-Gal'
laudet College. of Washington. won ar
exciting game from washington College
by to Z, both teams hitting the pitch
ers hard and keeping the large crowd
in doubt as to the final score until the
last inning was played.
The home team scored twice in the
opening inning on Captain Porter's triple
to left. The Gallaudet boys Gang back
strong in later innings, driving Jarmar
from the box through incessant bonn
bardment, and Baden was unable to
stop the onrush.
The MaryIanders tied the score in the
seventh round, but a threat of forfeit
ure of the game in the next inning to
the home team caused Gallaudet to hit
Baden savagely, Stevenson clearing the
bases with a slashing double to center
and giving Gallaudet a commanding
lead.
This followed Moore's being called out
for alleged overTunning second base af-
ter he made third on keiley's low throw
of his infield hit.

DISTRICT LEAGUE
MERGER RUhOR IS
SECUTED BY HEAD
Affiliation With Capital City
Never Considered,
Says Beach.

AT no time since the organization OF
the District League has there been any
idea of affiliation with the Capital City
organization, and any talk of a merger
or the dropping out of Aloysius or the
Commissioners to Join the Capital City
is false" This statement was made by
President S. E. Beach, of the District
League. today.
Manager O'Connor, of the 'Aloysius
club, a leading factor in the organiza-
ton of the new league, also had few
pertinent things to say about the pro-
posed or rumored combination of
leagues. The whole matter is today
being taken as joke by those who
understand the situation, and more es-
pecially by those who know the difficult
ties which arose last season and at the
beginning of this year.
Not Even Dreamed Of.
George E. Cornell, whose efforts in
the Capital City circuit are so well
known, and whose team has become
famous, said today he had never dream
ed of such a thing. He reported the
league in fine shape an dsaid they were
waiting to install the moving picture
concern.
AS far as can be CLEANED from re-
ports neither league is enjoying the pa
tronage 1t deserves, and the fact that
they are within a block of each other
robs each of attendance. Much money
has been sunk into the projects, and
there is little likelihood that a merger of
any sort would be considered by either
league.
Something to Be Done.
Salvation will have to be worked out
by one or the other. as II seems i'm
possible that both should thrive under
the conditions that exist. 1t is a matter
of more than passing interest TO many,
as the new District League is gaining
many followers, and the Capital City Is
offsetting this by playing the fastest
article OF baseball among the amateurs.
Rumor has ii that disinterested parties
suggested the matter to officials of
both leagues as a feeler to see If
stronger combination could not be got
ten for he benefit of amateur baseball.
Effort has been made time and again
to get a league started such as oh
tains in other cities, and is what is cos
monuly known as semi-professfona!

High School Principals Meet Tuesday Consider Protest Of Western Player

YESTERDAYS RESULTS.
yalford, 4; Andrews, ..

In a hotly contested and exciting game
yesterday WaIford defeated Andrews,
to 2.
Both Herrel and Gibson pitched good
ball, the former striking out thirteen
and allowing but four hits, while the
latter struck out eleven and let Wal
ford down on six safetes.
Each team made a good many mis-.
plays. but these were mainly excusable
being made on hard chances.
walford scored its first runs when in
the second inning two, hits, an error,
count twice. Other runs were made IN
the fifth, when hits by Herrel, Kroogle,
and Shipley, coupled with an error, al
lowed two more to score.
Andrews scored in the third inning
when a hit by Gibson was booted or
the field and then thrown wild IN an
attempt to catch him at home. Ths
only other run came in the sixth, when
Joe" Mulvey singled, stole secoha ano
third. and scored IN close decision
when Milan laid down perfect ount
in front of the plate.
Although Andrews put up the better
fielding game Of the two two teams; nn;n II was ar
-
the third inning Oliveri and Krause
were caught off bases. and in the fourth
Xirkley and Thompson were run down
between third and home and second and
third. respectively, on the same play.
In the latter case there was but one
out with the chances in favor Of at
least one score.
D. Mulvcy and Milan pulled OFF the
fastest double play seen SO far this
season. With but one out and two
on bases, Mulvey made good catch
If a long fly and threw perfectly to
Milan at second in time to get his man
and prevent the score.
Shipley had an off day behind the
hat for Walford. Although his throw
ing arm Is usually of the best. 1t was
away off color Yesterday. Most OF his
attempts to catch runners resulted In
overthrowS.
Krause plays a good game on the
initial sack The big fellow puts lots
Of confidence into the team and Is in
the game all the time. He is as lively
on his feet as some OF the youngsters
md 1t is seldom he makes misplay.

amateurs. While the District and De-
partmentaI leagues have furnished good
leagues play are unanimous in awarding
the palm to the Capital City circuit.
Every indication points to the contiu-
ued winning streak Of the Cornell team.
Manager Cornell has at last gotten his
famous combination in working order
and expects to put his full strength IN
the field in every game.
The Pumping Station team has every
advantage in playing It's men together
for such a long time. The lineup IS
practically intact from last year and all
players seem to know exactly what Is
expected of them.

Yesterdays victory by Ingram over
North Carolina proved an interesting
comedy so far as the losers were con-

the ball with any force at all, the Caro-
lima fielders would get stage struck and
let IL go through their hands. Ten er-
rors were chalked up against the losers

VEST ERDAT'S RESULTS.
Brtghtwood. 10; Takoma, 7.

Brentwood broke the ice and broke
into the won column when they forced
Takoma to be satisfied with the short
end OF 1o-to-7 score.
Neither Donovan or Schroeder was
especially effective as the number OF
hits will show. Nine safe drives were
made off SchreideTs delivery, while
Donovan offerings were pounded to un-
covered spots eight times.
Brightwood won the game in the last
inning by a game rally. 1t was on
even terms with Takoma. and managed
TO get three across.
Hotfner, of Brightwood, did the best
work with the stick, having perfect
average for the day. Out OF three trips
to the pan he gathered three singles as
his share Of his teams nine hits.
Al Work covered first for the Young
sters." and filled the bill to perfection
Out OF two trips to the plate he made as
many hits and handled his eleven
chances perfectly.
For Takoma, Wilson, Pattison and
Watt led at the bat, two hits apiece be-
ing credited to them.
Credit should be given to Watt for
the game he played. He started at third
base, and afterward took up the catch
er S duties, working hard Tor MIS- team
success and covering both positions with
equal skill
At short for Brightwood was Cliff
Howells, an old BrightYood favorite.
His pickup of grounder which Hoff
ner knocked down. followed by an accu-
rate throw to first, was a saver. as 1t
made the third out. and two runs would
have scored had it gotten away from
him.
President Page has been working hard
in an effort to strengthen the weak
teams, and his actions are bearing fruit.
Both Brightwood and Takoma have
spruced up considerably, and are now
capable Of giving any Of the teams
run for the game.
It would seem that the umpire prob
lem in the Suburban circuit had been
solved. Cap" Jenkins was again on
the job, and gave every evidence that
he is a component man for the place.
He keeps the boys on the move, and the
game Is hustled along, much to the
satisfaction Of the spectators. who dis
like the long delays which sometimes
occur on amateur fields.
The Soldiers Home furnishes a good
share of the attendance at the games,
and the civil war veterans thoroughly
enjoy the exhibitions they witness. Each
has his favorite team, and with this
condition existing many interesting ar
guments are heard as to the relative
merits Of the different contenders.
