FARMERS BIG MEET
TOMORROW MORNING
Maryland Aggies Will Hold
Collegiate Events at 10,
Scholastic at |.

Tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock Jimmy
MullSan, the old Georgetown runner. will
fire the gun which will start the first
event in the first open meet ever held by
the M-ryland Agricultural College If the
class and number of entries is any cri
terion il is already certain that the meet
will be a success. especially the scholastic
events. In the collegiate events the
Maryland Agges themselves are expected
to make such a runaway of it that there
will he little competition between the
three colleges, but rather a race as to
which Of the Farmers vii score the most
points.
More than 200 entries have been
cciVed and the ma jority of them are in
the scholastic part of the meet. 1t is
practically certain that every man en-
tered will compete.
\ decided attraction will he the events
which are Carded for the country schools
of the state. Several special races have
been arranged for the boys who without
special advantages Of good training
quarters are trying TO make runners out
of themselves.
Each OF the high schools in this city
has entered a larger team than in any
previous meet and betw them should
CARRY off the honors in the scholastic
games. 1t is not probable though that
any of the schools will have much chance
to beat Central, and il is thought that
the Blue and White will clean up IN al
most every event. Western. which school
probably has the next best track team
to Central. will have about twelve men
running. but none of them is in con-
dition II is not expected that they will
accomplish much.
The scholastic events are not carded TO
start until l" pm, while the collegiate
meet will be started promptly at 1000
am.

one Of the six being a sensational catch
and robbing the batters of sure hit. all
of which would have been good for extra
bases. Donaldson has always played a
good game for Tenleytown in center. but
it is something unusual for center
fielder to have six extraordinarily hard
chances in one game and get away with
all of them without a miscue.
TenleytoWn team. put up fine exhibition
at the initial corner and was there with
the stick work. Out of three trips to the
plate he cracked out two hits, both of
them being home runs. Stadler was bad

him a slow grounder, which he fielded

GAME TO-DAY.
Southland VS.. Silver Spring.

The annual competitive drill of the
Washington High School Cadets was the
principal reason for the game Sligo for
feited yesterday to Silver Spring. The
greater part of the Sligo players are
members of that organization. s that
team is composed of almost the entire
Business High team, and attended the
event
What was bound to have been a good
game was spoiled by the non appearance
of three of Sligos men. Silver Spring
and Sligo are the tailenders and ii Silver
Spring had won they would have
c.anged places AS it is, they change
places, Sligo now trailing.
Todsy's game should be an exciting
one from all points of view. Silver
Spring is the only team in the league
that has played Southland any kind OF a
close game. losing on May q. to the
Southwest lads, to . With Ebert and
Gill in pitching battle the game should
be close.
With the close of the High School
League sea son, several teams should be
materially strengthened by the acquisition
of many of the scholastic stars. White
Haven has Buck" Howard, the hard
hitting Western shortstop, signed up. and
will probably get Myers. the captain OF
that team. Braddock is said to have Col
ley. Eckendorf and Colbert of Technical.
while Hall. Delahunt and Burley, all of
Tech, are to be seen in the Sligo lineup.
The maxim of young blood Is spreading
and in time the older men, of which sew
eral teams are composed will give way
to the youngsters.
