Garland, who, is pitching for the Tech
nical High School team this year, is one
of the best pitchers for his size around
the District. He has good control, and
uses his head to good advantage.
Barr, the youngster who played so well
for the Laurel, Md. team last season,
is out for one of the outfieId places over
at Eastern, and on his last year form
should strengthen the boys on the hill.
Mcwiniams. of football fame, is a can
didate for the backstop position at East

The dual meet between the Episcopal
High School and, Central High School

fair, as Baltimore City College is anx-

runners. and this rfet should turn out
to be a dandy.
Western Highs basketball team has
gone out of existence again. Most Of the
players after the Eastern game dropped
the sport and took up track work Some
good men reported to Coach Byrd, and
he should be able to enter the best re-
lay team that has represented the school
in the Georgetown meet.
Western will enter a big squad in the
Georgetown indoor meet this year, in the
hope of capturing some of the prizes.
Many good runners have been turned out
this season at the Georgetown School,
and as most of the good men will not
graduate for a time, Western High
School should be represented on the
track by a good team for some time to
come.
Coach Byrd, OF the Western High
School baseball team. will have to do
some tall hustling to round out some
good pitchers by the time his team plays
its first game. So far, no real pitcher
has shown up, and it win be up to Man
ager McArdle and Capt Myers to roust
some of the slabmen out of the rut and
get them in line. Holden who is at
present attending Georgetown School, is
the only man upon whom the team can
rely to do the twirling.
