GOSSIP OF LOCAL
AMATEUR ATHLETES

| While several of the high school and
club base ball teams have games sched-
uled for the coming week, there is no
certainty of their being played. and If
anything the chances are that they will
not be. The weather during the month
of March in this section of the country
is not any too good as a general rule,
and, if anything, is more uncertain than
woman not yet out of her teens. No
team is ever sure that the games on its
| schedule will be played until after the
| list of April. when the zeal spring begins
to show and the changeable weather to
settle to something more determinate.
This boy Mosey of Gallaudet seems to
be some classy wrestler, as he has yet
to find his equal in the South Atlantic
Association of the A. a. L. In the Ma
tional Guard tournament he won in two
separate classes, and Saturday night ne
again came to the front as a winner in
| the championship preliminaries, and 1t is
more than likely that when the wres-
tiers from Baltimore and Washington
meet this week to decide the finals he
will be there with bells on.
Conley is another Gallaudet man who
| is doing especially good work in the
heavyweight class, and. it would not be
at all surprising to see Gallaudet be re-
turned the winner in two championship
events when the grapplers meet Satur-
day night to decide the premiership of
the south Atlantic section.
Boteler Of Central certainly looks to be
good pitcher. 1t is mighty seldom that
schoolboy is seen with form such as
characteriZes the work Of the Blue and
White twirler.
Two of the high school base ball cap
! tains this year are shortstops. one is a
catcher, one a pitcher and the other a
first baseman. Eastern and Business
boast of the two short felders. while Tech
has the catcher. Central the pitcher and
Western the first baseman
That Georgetown's policy in deciding to
arrange a schedule for its second teams
in both foot ball and basc ball is a good
one is assured by the fact that it is al
most impossible to keep the scrubs to-
gether during the entire season unless
some sort Of an attraction is given them
in the way of a schedule. Last fall the
Hilltoppers during the early part Of the
season had about tlirty-five secOnd-string
men out for the foot ball team, and Yet
before the first of November It was g.
hard matter TO get together eleven men
to give the varsity a scrimmage.
With second team schedules arranged
the men who compose the scrub would
nave an incentive 10 stay out ana WOEk.
with the result that the varsity would
have good, strong eleven to go UP
gainst during the entire season, and in
stead of having TO rustic out eleven men
who have never been together hardly. and
thus getting practically no defensive work
except that which conles from disorgan-
lied attack.
Georgetown should have a fast. hard
hitting outfield this wear. With Murphy
