DIFFICULT SCHEDULE
FOR CENTRAL NINE
Mercersburg and Princeton
FreShieS Have Dates With
Local Somebody's.

Manager MinniX of the Central High
School base ball nine promises to give
this years team one of the most preten-
tious lists of games in the history of the
school and has already completed ar
rangementS for list that in itself is
above the average high school quota.
TO date fifteen games have been ar
ranged exclusive of the high school cham
pionship series. and these include dates
with the leading high and preparatory
schools of this section. Included on the
list are Mercersburg Academy, winner of
the scholastic title of the east last year.
and the Princeton Freshmen, which this
year will be represented by one of the
fastest teams in the history of the insti-
tuition. Although definite arrangements
have not been completed for the latter
game, Manager MinniX has received prac-
teal assurance from the management
that the date will be reserved until some
agreement shall have been reached.
The present hitch comes out of the in
ability of the Princeton management to
allow sufficient guarantee to pay the ex-
pense of travel Tor the local team How
ever the Princeton alumni in this city are
particularly anxious that the game be
played and have promised to exert every
effort to bring about an agreement. In
the event that the schools fail TO come to
terms, the date agreed on. May 10, will be
given Charlotte Hall Military School
whose manager is particularly DESTROYS OF
arranging date.
The game with Mercersburg Academy,
looked upon as the most important date
outside of the local championship series,
will be played at MercersburS May -.
Last year the local boys gave the Penn
sylvanians the best game of the season.
In appreciation of this fact the MERGERS
burg management reserved date on this
years schedule and offered Inducements
that the local school could not turn down.
The team will be royalty entertained
while the guests of the academy. and
will have the privilege of spending sew
eral days at Mercersburg.
The only other out-of-town game agreed
OH to date is that with Episcopal High
School of Alexandria, which will be play
ed on the Episcopal campus April 10
Episcopal is one of the leading rivals of
the Washington school and the game is
always looked upon as one of the most
important on the schedule.
The local games include a series of
three games with American Security and
Trust Company. Gallaudet College,
Georgetown Preparatory School, and
possibly GonZaga College Games will
probably be arranged later with Army and
Navy Preparatory and Bliss Electrical
School.
The schedule follows:

GOSSIP OF LOCAL
AMATEUR ATHLETES

| Now that Tome Institute has aban-
doned its annual game it has been sug-
Eested that a similar meet be held in
this city by the Georgetown Props, OF
Central High School, or Jointly. 1t would
be a good idea to pull off an interscllo-
lastic meet in this section, because it
would be an almost assured success from
its conception. The situation would have
an immense advantage over Port Deposit
in that it would give the visiting teams a
better trip, there would be better facili-
ties for accommodating the entrants and
it would get entries from teams that
would never go to the Tome games. be-
sides still getting those prominent prep
schools from the north.
The only drawback to such an affair
would be the lack Of A good track There
is not even a fair cinderpath in the city.

less.
The game Of basket ball that was post
poned last Wednesday by the Carroll In
stitute and the Y. NJ. &. A. because OF
injuries to both Crogan and Mccarthy
of the institute team will be played on
next Tuesday evening.
It is doubtful whether or not the two
Carroll players will be in very good trim
even then, one has a badly Wrenched
knee and the others ankle is strained.
1t hardly seems that the Carroll qulnt
will be able to muster its full strength
anyway, and it will be greatly handi-
capped if either of the two men men,
toned are unable to play.

basket ball star, is developing into quite
