NINE HAS
DIFFICULT GAMES
Fifteen Dates Arranged, Ex-
elusive Of High School
Championship Series.

Eastern Highs base ball schedule,
given out yesterday by Manager Sander
son. looms up as the most pretentious
attempted by a Capitol Hill team since
the days of the redoubtable Jack Field.
Fifteen games have already been booked.
including an even half dozen out-of-town
dates. These do not include the regular
high school championship series, the
dates of which have yet to be arrang-
ed. The out-of-town games include the
annual combat with st. James School of
Hagerstown. which will be played April
8: two with Rockville High School, at
Rockville, April and ID; Episcopal High
School, at the college diamond near Alex
andria. Va. April %; Bethel Military
Academy. at Bethel. May 6. and Char
lotte Hall Military Academy. at Charlotte
Hall, May ~.
The season will open March IS with a
game with Gallaudet varsity. at Kendall
Green, and that with Charlotte Hall will
mark the closing contest of the season.
Prospects for a winning team at East
ern are the brightest in years. and should
the team fail TO finish well up in the
High School championship race next
spring it's followers will have missed
their guess. For the first time in q num-
Der OF years the team will have the I'M
divided attention of highly competent
coach, and this alone should go long
way toward bringing about proper Ie-
suits. DOnnelly, the former Holy Cross
boy, who coached the foot ball team with
such success, has given his word to as
sumo charge of the base bal! nine. Inc
alumnus and student body at Eastern
have all necessary confidence in the am
ity of Donnelly and predict that barr ng
the unforeseen he will turn out w.nne. ;.
Indoor practice will be inaugurated in
the school drill hall, whicl for some time
has ser ed as gymnasium, next Inurs-
cay afternoon at the close of the school
session. Coach Donne.ly has promised
to be on hand to give rirst Instructions
and 10 map out his plan of procedure for
both indoor and outdoor work. After the
first Of March, or rather as soon as the
weather Will permit, the squad will have
use of the diamond the Rosedale play
grounds. This Will be the scene Of a
number of the games on schedule
Just what material will be available
cannot be aScertaiEed at this time, but
with a number Of veterans still on hand,
not to speak of several reputable new
players, the coach has little cause for
worry: OF the new players the, most
