ROB ROY MACKEY COMES BACK
Lynch Fails to Throw Him Within
an Hour.
Peerless District GrappIer Keeps
MIddIe-weight Champion Hus-
Ting Air the Time.

BY successfully staying one hour with
Frank Lynch. of Baltimore, the middle
weight champion Of the South. last night.
in the Center Market armory, Rob Roy
Mackey proved that all this dope about
not being able to come back is wrong.
Lynch agreed to throw Mackey twice
within an hour and when the time
was up he had failed to get the faintest
semblance of a fall. Although he was
out weighed twenty pounds, Mackey went
to work in earnest and kept Lynch work
ing all the time to keep from being thrown.
Mackey showed a fine knowledge of the
game and repeatedly broke holds that
would have lost for a less wiser man.
Dick Cox. champion bag puncher and
club swinger of the District, kept the
large crowd in good humor while the
grapplers were getting ready.
In the first preliminary Frank Zeraga
threw Greek George with a hammer lock
and scissors hold in 16 minutes and 40
seconds.
After wrestling eight minutes Willie
O'Brien had to retire owing to bad physi-
cal condition. He would not leave the
mat until Referee OConnor refused to

Coach Donnelly will have eight of last
years team back at Eastern and with the
new material which has entered the
Capitol Hill school, a winning team should
be turned out.
In Schrider, the Stenographers have a
corking good catcher, although he is too
light to do much work this season With
proper coaching this youngster will make
a capital backstop.
Ford, the youngster trying for the slab
mans place on the Stenographers' nine, is
showing up well, and If he keeps up his
present work will make the other pitchers

will have a good infield around which to

1t is rumored that Boots Walter, the
crack twirier of the Olympia A c., is to
enter Eastern High School in the near
future. Walters is a good man and
should prove a big help to the Light
Blue and White.
Coach DonneIly, Of Eastern. has
changed the reporting time for the base
ball candidates from to-day to Monday,
owing to the Eastern-Cathedrl basket
ball game. About thirty two men win
report to him for practice.
The pupils at Central are depending on
Mccarthy, of last years Business team,
to do some tall hitting for them this
season. Mac is a natural slugger and
should do well for the Blue and White
this year.
Flynn, who is out for the twirlers job
at Tech, is the star of last years South
east Y. NJ c. A team, OF the Commercial
League. Besides being a first-class
pitcher ''F1ynnie'' is a rafting good in
fielder and would make good anywhere
on the Machinists' team.
Holden apparently is the only man out
for the slabman's job over at Western,
and IL Coach Byrd expects to turn out a
winning team from across the creek he
will have to do some tall moving. These
Western boys are slick articles and are
evidently trying to slip one over the other
high schools.

MARYLAND AGGIES
TO MEET RICHMOND
Great Relay Race in George
town Indoor Games.

Another corking relay race has been
added TO the big programme of events in
the Georgetown games to be held the
night of March L Manager Wymard has
finally matched the Maryland Aggies
against the Richmond College four, and
as great rivalry exists between these two
schools a good race should result.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that
the management finally indVced the
Richmond boys to make the trip. Man
ager Wymard had a conference with the
Richmond manager, and it was decided
that if Richmond would send its relay
team to Washington Georgetown would
enter the outdoor meet to be held in the
Virginia capital on April Il.
The entries for the Georgetown meet
close tomorrow night, and to date it is
estimated that over 400 will compete.
This number will be increased greatly, as
every mail brings in more entries. The
entries from Yale, Princeton, Pennsylva-
mia. and Cornell have arrived, and those
from Virginia are expected to-day.
