The Central baseball management has
not completed its schedule of games out
side of the high school series, so full
list cannot be published. 1t is under
stood that the 0 streeters will have their
hands full this spring with several hard
Cut-Of-tOwn games coming right in the
midst of the school championships.
Games have been arranged with MERGERS
burg Academy on May q and with the
Princeton freshmen on May 13
Baseball hours for gymnasium use at
Business have been arranged as follows:
Tuesdays, 2:10 until 4:30; Wednesdays,
2:1O until 2:4O; Fridays. to 4 If this
warm spring weather continues the team
will not need the gymnasium long.
Candidates for the Business High
School tennis team met last Friday after
school for the purpose of getting a line
on those in the school playing tennis and
to consider obtaining suitable courts. AL
though tennis is a new venture in the
high schools, there should be no reason
for it not becoming popular as an inter-
scholastic sport, the same as any of the
other games now contested.
The Cathedral School quint surely has
busy schedule marked out for the
present week Yesterday the team de-
feated the Western five in a nip-and-
up against the doughty warriors from
Business High School, and on Friday
they are booked to play Eastern's team.
The Georgetown Prep Business High
School dual meet, to be held at the Ryan
gymnasium at Georgetown on February
q, will be one the like of which has not
been seen among local schools in many
year, in that, besides the regular ath-
lctic events generally scheduled in such
meets, there will be boxing and wrestling
matches between members of the two
competing institutions. Boxing and
wrestling have never played conspicuous
part in scholastic athletics in this city
before. and the announcement of this in
novation in the dual meet comes as a
surprise. There is no particular reason
why these two widely popular sports
should. not be enthusiastically received
by the high school authorities as desire
able additions for interhigh school COM
petition.
These games are to be run under the
joint supervision OF Prof Joyce, of the
University, and DR.. Hudson.
OF the Business School. The events TO be
called are as follows: Hurdle race 0ow
25-yard. dash; quarter. half, and
mile runs; high jump, 12-pound shot nut.
and the sparring and wrestling matches.
The meet is expected to bring a good
number Of entries and win undoubtedly
be one of much class.
The Eastern High School qulnt. after
its game With Cathedral school on Fri
day will go 10 Front Rqial, Va, to play
the Randolph Macon College.

CATHEDRAL QUINT ON TOP
Basketball Team Trounces Western
High, 80 to IL.

In a spirited basketball game yester-
day the National Cathedral School for
Boys defeated the Western High School
quint, 30 to -.
Lockwood opened the scoring by Gag
ing the first basket for Cathedral, after
minute of play. All of the first half
was played nip and tuck. Bradley was
the star for Western, scoring one-half OF
Westerns points in the first half.
The second half was played with more
snap by the Episcopal school. and re-
suited in the piling up of thirteen points
for them. Western displayed excellent
teamwork. and put up one of the best
games it has played this season.
Todd was able through his good play
ing to cage eight baskets Crane was
especially valuable on the defense AL

the first half Bradley was noticeable

The plan to present automobiles to lead
ing players is too complicated TO receive
serious consideration. No man of COM
mitree of men could pick the player in
each league who could be proved TO be
the hest.
Take the National League. for instance.
Suppose five men were selected and these
men were Magee, of the PhilIies: Mathew
son, of New York; Wagner. Of Pittsburg:
Brown. of Chicago. and Bescher, of Gin
cinnati. In the first place, it would be
difficult To prove that any one of these
players had done more than any other
for the success Of his team In the second
place, granting that this could be proved.
low could any group OF men decide
whether MathewsOn's work as a pitcher
was more important to his tennis success
than that OF Magee as an outfelder- n
batsman, and a base runner? The same
condition would arise in the American
League.
The poor committee that would try to
decide which is the best player in each
league would be criticised more than
"Cucle joe Cannon by a bunch of in
surEents and, worst of all, no matter
how conscientious they worked they
couldn't convince all the fans that they
were right in their selections.

country.
Pop Geers, the dean of horse trainers
for years has had craving for ice cream
and he is known to be able to put away
more ice cream than the average man.
Umpire Billy Evans is another celebrity
who has a leaning toward the frozen deli

considered prerequisite to the esta0-
iishment of any uniform plan of pro-
motion on merit. After such a re-
classification the commission favors

basis of efficiency records kept and

Satisfaction is expressed with the
results Of the application of the
merit system to the diplomatic and
consular services by presidential or
der and the commission is heartily
in accord with President Taft in his
desire, expressed In his recent mes
sage. that the system be adopted by

shows an increase in the number of
cases investigated by the commits
sion, most Of them OF minor char
acter, which II ascrioeS to Increased

sion of the restriction on political
