HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

South America.
The latest called to the attention OF
those interested was received by George
Hamilton, star all-around athlete at Cen
trail High. from a representative OF Puf-
/ due University, now residing In Balu-
more. The Monumental City scout OF
fered f,atte.ins inducements to the local
man, ana endcaNored TO impress MN
with the many advantages offered by the
university. He was candid TO admit that
the Institution Is almost down anu Out
as far as foot ball material Is concerned.
and that the alumni throughout the colh-
Try are conducting All active cainPdiS IL
in an effort to build up sport that was
al one time prosperous.
Hamilton received the offer in the same
manner that he has a couple oil others
that have been thrust on HIM or Iate.
promising TO consider the same at the
conclusion OF his high school course next
year.
Track work has been abandoned indei-
initGly at Technical High Scnool Tor the
same reason that has been offered Tor
the past three years.
That same old familiar cry, NO tialh-
ing qual ters." is again In the AIR AT
Tech and threatens to blast the Efforts
of those who have endeavored to build
up the sport. y scant few falthfulS nave
promised t. train independently during
the remainder of the indoor season. rep
resonting the school in the meets remain
ing on the card.
1t Is to be hoped that the outdoor sea-
son will see a continuation of the sport
along the same lines adopted during the
early part of the indoor season. mere
are a number of outdoor training places
that will be available, and there is no
reason why the school should not turn
out team capable of holding it's own
with those representing other scholastic
institutions or the south.
Ease ball practice got it's start at Bust
ness last Wednesday afternoon, when
forty prospective candidates TOOK the
VOW before Manager Shore and Coach
White to train consistently and FOLLOW
strict orders in an effort to give the
school another representative team.
Pitching material was disclosed in
quantity hardly looked for at the OUT
set Twelve candidates We're listed for
the position, the majority of whom have
enjoyed experience i'm local amateur
circles.
These include Burley of last years
squad. who is. perhaps, without a su-
perior in scholastic circles; Ponelly, kei-
ley. McAleer. Frord. Hunt, Wilson. Eel
Ter, Lynch, G. Ford Shepard and Burch'
Goeble Haar ..ngton. Beach, Brodle.
Brunger. Eiker and Schuyler are can
didates for the backstop position. Ihe
battery candidates will continue indoor
practice throughout the month of Feb
rlary. after which time the squad VIII
be augmented by the addition OF candl-
dates for other positions.
Outdoor practice will probably be
held on one of the diamonds used by
amateur leagues, on the Eclipse
The proposed dual meet between Bal
fimore City College and Central High Is
one of the most interesting propositions
advanced in years and would undoubt-
adlv bring 9h0Ilt a number of lOtIy con-
tested events. In the dashes, for in
| stance. Capt. Fritz Reuter- Of the Cen
trail and Capt. Jimmy Patterson of City
| College would fight it out Ito a finish.
| 1t will. be remembered at the Tome
games last year the Baltimore athlete
carried off honors in the 1O0-yard dash
while in the DO he was forced to bow
to defeat before the Central captain
There are probably no other athletes
more evenly matched than are the lead
erS of these two teams.
Eastern High School base ball candi.
| dates have been instructed to report tt
| Coach Donnelly for their initial indoor
workout in the drill hall at the schoo
| next Thursday afternoon. Eastern has
never before figured as contender fol-
| the championship. but from all reports
| the Capitol Hill boys will make as de-
termined an effort to land honors in this
/ sport as they did to win out in foot bal
last fall. There is perhaps better ma.
| terial available than has been the case
| In many day. The most encouraging
bit of news that has been given out OF
late is to the effect that Goebel one
OF the best of local amateur catchers
has entered the school and will try fol
| the backstop position. Capt. Parker ha.
practically conceded the position to The
new man. and will probably play at tn,
| third sack. Outdoor practice will no,
| start until the early part OF March. the
Rosedale Fairgrounds diamond hayine
been secured for this purpose.
| When the board Of faculty advisors OF
| the Washington high schools meet again
| this week number of important matters
will be brought up for discussion and. in
| some cases, final action.
| Important. among others, will be the
| drafting Of a list of dates for the high
school championship series. The order OF
| games was decided on at the last meeting
Of the board. but final action was defer
red until the adoption of a schedule by
| the American League.
! This action was taken several DAYS ago
and now the high school board is in a
position to again take up it's work.
| In glancing over the American League
schedule it is noted that the home dates
| are arranged in such way that it would
| be practically impossible to finish the
schedule OF high school games before the
| early part Of June without playing more
than two games a week. which for the
past few years has been the case.
| Tuesday, April %, will probably be
named as the opening date. with games
following each Friday and Tuesday there
after, where American League Park will
| be available.
| Other important matters that will be
taken up at the meeting will be the
cases of several athletes whose eligibility
has been questioned, and possibly the Sc
| lection of date for the high school out
door championship field and track games
| Included on the list of prospective can
| didates for the Princeton University base
| ball nine is the name OF Ed Rheem, a
former Central High School boy. and last
season captain of the Princeton freshman
team Rheem was in the city last week
visiting his parents. and at the time ex-
pressed confidence in his ability to make
good.
! The fact that he played consistent
| game for the freshies last year, and
enough confidence was placed i'm his abil-
| ity by the coaches to warrant his Sc
lection as captain, should materially en-
| nance his chances for landing a regular
berth on the varsity team.
