NATIONAL PARK
High School Faculty Athletic Advisers Are Informed by
Baseball Management Their Elevens Must Seek
Other Grounds for Games This Fall

The football series for the champion
ship of the high schools of Washing
ton next fall cannot be played at Ma
tional Park. according to word sent to
the board of faculty athletic advisers
by the management of the Washington
ball club.
In fact all football Is to be prohibited
at the ball park during the coming
autumn Iii order to allow the new dia-
mond to get a good start and so TIE
workmen who will he completing the
new stands will not be interfered with
in any way by the crowds that always
assemble to see the gridiron sport.
Handicapped throughout the base
ball season by the impossibtlity OF
finding grounds that would prove en-
tirely satisfactory to all concerned,
the faculty board now appears to be
even worse off in furnishing a field
for the football campaign.
Hilltop Out of Question.
AS the Georgetown squad Is out
every day during the fall. the Hilltop
is believed to be out of the question,
Gallaudets team cannot pass up two
days a week to satisfy the high
schools. SO the latest suggestion has
been that the games be played on
the White House Ellipse. Such an ar
rangement would be a severe blow
to the finances of the athletic associa-
tons of the Eve schools.
AS matters now stand practically
every one of the hundreds of students
each year purchase membership tick
cts which carry with them admission
TO all athletic contests, while in ad-
dition quite a sum is made annually
The Washington times., 1911-06-11

from the fees paid by those who pre-
fer high school athletics to other
sports. II the Ellipse is used 1t will
be impossible to charge admission as
1t Is a Government reservation. There
the matter stands.
The board of faculty advisers has
the matter under consideration and as
soon as some decision is reached the
schedule for the fall will be taken up.
The order of games changes automati-
cally each fall so that a team handi-
capped by the schedule one year has
the advantage the next, but the dates
will not be settled until 1t is found
on what days a field may be obtained.
Only Three Months Off.
1t is now but three months until
the football squads at the different
schools will be called out for their
first practice. At Tech and Central
the same systems as last year will
continue while no change Is likely at
Business. Tech as usual will have
Coach Hecox to direct the team while
1t will be led by Morris, while Coach
Thomas remains at Central with Ham
ilton. Both Of these coaches are mem
bers of the faculty. as is Coach White
at Business.
Western disbanded after one game
last fall. leaving football matters in
rather unsettled condition. but the
proba bility is that things will be
Strengthened out before fall so the
Georgetown team can get an even
start with the other squads.
So well did Coach Donnelly do at
Eastern last season IN giving the
Capitol Hill school it's best eleven in
years that Captain Weaver is hopeful
~ having the nnnUlnr r0anfnF
but as yet nothing definite has been
DONE

Southland took Emmanuel into camp
yesterday, and Ebert was the main
factor throughout the game, Emmanuel
getting but four scattered hits.
Cohencious pitched good ball, but
Southland took advantage Of the errors
of his teammates, and was able to hit
him timely.
Woodward. Of Emmanuel. got two Of
his teams four hits.
Carr cut himself out of a double when
he missed first in the eighth inning.
TAYLOR looked like Ty Cobb on the
bases, stealing five sacks, the record so
far this season. In the sixth he stole
second. third, and home in rapid sue
cession.
Hunt got his two bingles, scored a
run. and played well at third for South
land.
Kiefer looks to be a great improve
ment behind the bat for Emmanuel.
Rogers had five assists behind the bat
for Southland, five men perishing in
vain attempts to steal.
Woodward tried to stretch his single
to center into a double in the first, but
Gates arm brought him to grief.
Richardson, of Emmanuel, was shifted
to second, and seemed more at home
than he has been this year.
Buclxholtz had an off day, striking out
four times and pop-fouling once.
