Western and Central meet today in
what will more than likely prove to be
the deciding game in the interscholastic
series There has been conjecture after
school ball as to the probable winner, but
everybody is just about as far at sea as
ever, as to just which team will win
There is no doubt that Central has
the better team. individually speaking,
but it has failed to play the game that
it seems capable Of on paper. while the
Western nine has done better than 1t
looked able to. Whether the West End
ers will be able to overcome the individ-
ual superiority of the Blue and White
aggregation is the question which will
have to be answered before 1t Is decided
which Is the better team. The western
team as whole has been putting up a
better article of ball than has Central
so far. but it may be that Central has
found it's stride in the last few days and
will put up a much better game than 1t
has been doing. On the form displayed
so far in the games played, though,
there is no doubt that Western should be
returned the winner. no matter what may
be said to the contrary.
A comparison between the work of
4
for Western and Central will be gotten
in today's game. The two mentioned
men are about the only two candidates
for the alI-high position. and ii will be
interesting to note the work of the two
men when they are pitted against each
other 1t seems, though, that so far Mey-
ers has done the best work. taking every

Agriculture vs.. Post Office.


Another tie game was the result of the
proceedings in the Departmental League
yesterday. Navy and Interstate were the
conflicting parties, and neither side could
lay CLAIM to the victory after the eight
innings of play. Score. to 4.
Interstate got three Of its four runs in
the first round, and it was thought by
everybody that Navy would fall an easy
victim. but such was not the case. The
Navy lads settled down and held their op-
ponents to another run, while they piled
up four big ones.
The Interstate team came within an
ace of cashing in the winner. A great
fielding stunt by DAILY was the only thing
that kept them from it. With a man on
second in the seventh round and only one
gone a clean hit was driven TO Daily In
left. 1t was Texas Lacquer and he had
to do a lot of sprnting to get it on the
first bounce. He stabbed it with his
glOved hand, shifted it to his heaving
arm and by beautiful throw just barely
nailed the man trying to score from sec
ond. 1t was close shave for the Navy
team, and one of the most spectacular
fielding stunts of the season.
In the absence of 'Cy" Mcdonald
Friede covered the first corner for Inter-
state. 1t was thought by the management
that ''Cy'' would show up before many

Corcoran Cadets VS.. Indians.

It looked for while yesterday as
though the Company X boys had broken
the losing streak that has been sticking
to them since the season opened when
after tying the score in the first, they
put three tallies across the pan in the
third and one In the fourth but Tenley-
town tied the score with four runs and
then put six more a ross the plate in the
final session. which gave Tenleytown the
game the final score being ID to Z.

Pressgraves. right fielder of the Soldier

made them sit up and scream for the
smelling salts. With one of the bases oc-
cupied, Hutchinson of Tenleytown
caught one squarely in the reception hall
and it sailed over first base at a mile-a-
minute clip. Pressgraves saw the pellet
coming, and turning his manly shoulders

And whets the appetite
Makes the dyspeptic fit to dine
And helps him sleep at night.
To keep the furnace charged with coal,
The ashes wheeled away.

Than exercise more gay.
