TO REGAIN HONORS

morrow-Speed Will>
Be Goal. Y

Determined to regain the football lau-
rels which were lost last year when
Central won the championship, Technl-
cal High School is already planning for
the gridiron campaign.
Tomorrow afternoon all those who ex-
pect to be candidates for the eleven In
the fall will meet after school. when oil
the football plans will be outlined by
Coach Hecox. Last season Tech lost
the title by a slight margin, and the
impression was that slowness of the
team in reaching its top form was the
principal drawback. In order to over
come this handicap 1t now is planned
to have every athlete go through a
course of sprouts during the summer
calculated to bring them back in excel
lent physical condition to take UP the
more advanced work.
Last seasons team was practically Q
new one, and Tech will have the ad-
vantage next fall of having quits o
large nucleus around which to build tbs
eleven.
Tomorrow or Friday the candidates at
Central will also be called together IN
order to receive instructions as to the
proper exercises during the vacation
months.

Committee Of Four Wants to Get

According TO ]. William De Grange,
president Of the Sunday School League
and chairman of the committee Of four
selected to probe the charges Of pro-
fessionalism and ineligibility Of players
brought up before the amateur COM
mission last Saturday, every effort will
be made to get to the bottom of the
matter to clear It up conclusively.
With this in view, some eight men
are being notified to appear next Mon
Gay evening at 8 o'clock at the law Of

manager Wilkinson, Of the Independence
League. The committee mas no author

the points in question, and probably will

this, Chairman De Grange has had cor

League. Is anx1ously awaiting Monday
nights meeting. The issue is a 1--we
topic with Beach, who stated that the
committee would go as far as II possibly
gould, and get every scrap Of evidence.
He further stated that he knew the
amateur commission stood, to a man. for
clean sport, and that commercialism
would be stamped out Of the ranks of
amateur baseball IL It lay in the power
Of the commission to do anything
According to President Beach, It is
manifestly unfair to the many base
ball players who take the afternoons
as recreation, and are forced to warm
the benches in favor Of a better player
who can strengthen the team, with the
provision that he can make couple Of
dollars. Beach further said he saw no
reason why the District League should
90 under at the present time, and gave
no credence to the report of it's collapse.
On Monday night, Col De Grange,
Capt. c. Eugene Edwards, s. E. Beach.
and Zed Copp will be ready to have a
hearing of the eight men who will be !
summoned to answer the charges made
against them. They have the backing
of the amateur commission, and while
they have no power to bring in a YER
dict, the commission will be fully ac-
Quainted with the results of their inves-
ugation.

A noticeable feature OF the league is
the umpiring of Handiboe. Since the
beginning, there has not been a single
decision against which there was an
objection. Not only is he liked for
his squareness, but also for the inter-

J. Callow has shown greater improve
ment than any other player in this
league, is the opinion expressed by
many fans. Not only. is he a member
of the 300 class of hitters, but he Is
an excellent catcher, and throws to the
bases In professional style.

The heavy rain was responsible for
proceedings being halted yesterday,
when Columbia 101 and Aloysius were
booked to play. AS this is the second
postponed game Of the new series, It
will be played off on June 30.
Since the college year let out at the
Catholic University, Aloysius has lost
the services of two Of its mainstays on
the inf1eld, Zachary and Mcdonnell,
both Of whom have gone to their homes.
1t is likely that Widmayer and Mars
den will also leave the city in the near
future. With the loss of these men
Aloysius will have to travel fast to
keep on top.
Zachary is reported as having signed
to play this summer with the Nofolk
team, in the Tidewater League.

For a newcomer in the league Riddle,
Of Woodland, has more friends than he
can count. He Is without doubt the
Hghtest player in the circuit yet one Of
the strongest batters and fielders. His
hard fighting and clean playing has
won the respect and admiration OF
nearly all the followers of the league.

Walker Colston. who has been playing
with the Indian Office team, has been
transferred at his own request to the
Tenleytown team. Colston is well
thought of as a ball player. and II Is
expected that his playing will improve
with this team, as il is putting up a
much faster game than the one he has
left. He has been playing a good ball
game with the Indians.

The advent Of Seamen Gunners and
the Marines is being hailed, and expan-

the games have been more even and in

season.
The Washington times., 1911-06-14

Eastern was scheduled to play the
Navy Yard Yesterday. and is again
called upon to meet Cornell today. 1t is
expected that both teams will put full
strength In the field. Manager Cornell

The Washington times., 1911-06-14

There are already two games to be
run OF when the next open dates roll
around, and should any more rain pre-
sent itself, It will be a hard matter to
get the postponed contests played.
The Washington times., 1911-06-14

The probable reason for each teams
position in the race can be ascertained
on examining the team batting aver
ages Commerce and Labor leads with
the high mark Of $50, and is holding
down first place in the league. Postof-
fee is second with go. and the Mall
men are but a game behind the Labor
ties. The other teams occupy the same
position in the race as they do in the
batting averages.
Barnhart and Kraft, Of Potsoffice,
are regretting the fact that Mondays
game did not last long enough to make
it a legal contest. Barnhart loses
credit in the averages for three singles,
while the rain cheated Kraft out Of
triple and single.
The much-heralded heavy artillery of
Commerce and Labor, consisting Of Van
Buskirk, Walters, Kinney, and McDon-
aid, can be found largely responsible
for the Laborites' position In the race.
All four are hitting over 400, Van Bus
kirk leading with .405.
Postoffice has undoubtedly been
strengthened by the acquisition Of Cert
man, the old Treasury player. Cert
man, in the short time that he has
been with the club, has instilled much
spirit into the Laborites

looked upon as a pitcher able to take

league.
The brunt of the pitching for Pet
