ors The overwhelming defeat reSlstert"
against the Capitol Hill team Wouio
cause il to seem that the Manual Tram
ers have a chance Yet to annex the
championship of the scholastic league
Tech, q; Eastern, /, was the result OIL
yesterdays contest.
The Technical team showed UP sur
prisingly strong, hitting the ball in
terrific manner and fielding in good style.
the five errors made being due more 10
the high wind that was blowing than 10
the poor work OF the men. Eastern gave
evidence of about its full strength. and
II was simply outcIassed by a much bet
ter nine
Tho work of Garland in the box for the
Technical team was especially gratifying
TO the supporters Of the Maroon ana
GRAY, that young man letting the East
ern aggregation down with four hits
snd sending sixteen OF them to the bench
by the strike-out route. 1t has been
pointed out before that Garland is a much
better pitcher than his record against
Western caused many to believe him to
be and the fact that he justified the
prediction by pitching an excellent game
yesterday shows that he is. There is no
doubt that he will give a whole lot of
trouble to any high school team he works
against.
While DOPE is a mighty poor thing to
Judge ball clubs by, it nevertheless is in
teresting to note a comparison between
the Central and Tech mines. Central lost
to the Cathedral school team by the
score of II to 8 while Tech won from
the same crowd to the tune of IA to 1.
Tech undoubtedly has better hitting
Ieam than has Central. and if it can reach
near winning from the Blue and White,
as it is hardly likely that the latter
school will be able to do much with Gar
land.
Provided Western is defeated by Cen
raj and the first mentioned school wins
from Business this afternoon 1t will not
De at all surprising To see Tech. Central
Ind Western tied up for the championship
1T the end of the season. If such state
of affairs were by any chance to exist
At the end of the present series there Is
10 doubt that Tech would have a grand
opportunity to cop the bunting in the
2ay-eT. While il rather seems improb-
able that the tie-up will come. there is
very reason to believe that such thing
more than possible.
In the first game played by Petworth in
he Suburban League it made good the
prediction that it would get away to
lying start because of its superior cond-
ion. 1t gave the Brightwood nine. the
-unners-up in last years pennant race a
GOAT of whitewash yesterday and piled
sp eleven runs itself.
The nine looks to he well fortified IN
Wery department. 1t is made up of good
Mtters and has a pitching ,staff that is
wen better than it was last year. Yes
erday the opposing twirlers were found |
.or a total of ten hits. while the other
Etickers could do nothing with the Pet
worth beavers 1t looks As though the
cam will have an excellent chance to
ret away with another pennant this sea-
son.
GEORGETOWN is booked to play the East
srn College nine this afternoon. The
Manassas crowd has been putting up
inc article of ball this season. and the
Iilltoppers have their work cut out for
hem to win.
Tech did not find much trouble with
ne Eastern High pitchers yesterday aft
,rnoon, finding them for ten safeties and
I've free walks. There was a marked con-
raSt in the work of the Capitol Hill
