SCHOOL COACHES
MAY PROTEST TO
FACULTY ADVISORS
lnheld and Outheld Are
Rough and Covered
With Trash.

The board of faculty advisors of the
high schools will probably hear from
the coaches of the five high school
teams now competing for the champion
ship, In regard to the miserable condi-
ton of the diamond and field at Union
League Park. Three games have been
played In the series and the boys ars
thoroughly disgusted with the poor dio-
mond and outfeld which are Uttered
with debris.
The players are saying that II is al
most impossible to gauge ground balls
and the outfelders are strong in pro-
test stating that their efforts are handi-
capped in every way. Coaches arc
unanimous In their appeal for better
conditions. Business and Western took
the field yesterday and Western won
by to B. No team playing to date has
been able to play anything like a clean
fielding game, both mines yesterday be-
Ing unable to make a fair showing on
account of the grounds.
Little was done to the field before
the high school series started and N
vas expected that the United states
League would have the conditions bet
Tered Tor the season's opening. The
Washington Playground Association,
which leased the field for grade school
IL
| schools for their series and helped the
ADVISORS out Of a hole. Just what will
be done on the next few games is a
| matter of conjecture.
The advisors have been up against
the proposition az again playing the
series on the Railroad Y M. c. A.
grounds or holding the remainder of
The series on the White Lot diamonds.
Next week may find some changes in
the playing field as a result of the pro-
test of coaches and players.
Business played an excellent game

fielding should have won. Western hai

diamond before and knew conditions.
