Boys who starred in the high school
ranks last spring are doing some good
work for amateur clubs with which they
are playing now. In several of the cir
cults there are teams which depend for
q great deal of their strength on former
scholastic players.
The Herald team in the Northern Asso-
citation is composed in the main of last
years Technical High nine Austin Is
doing the bulk of the pitching. Head is
playing third. coleman is holding down
the backstop job, with Delahuntis per-
forming in the outfield. There are two or
three other schoolboys with the same
club. Park, in the same league. also has
some of last years team on It, They
are Wood and Widmayer, who are the
bulk of the strength.
Howard, Meyers and Morris are three
players who went to Western and Tech
last near, and the three Of them are
doing some fine work for the Potomac
Electric Power. Company in the lndepend-
ence League.
Out in the Sunday School League Har-
ris. Fischer and Cohil of the Eastern nine
last spring are performing among the
best Lehman and LOOMS Of Western
are doing some good work in the Capital
City League with the Brentwood club.
Van Dyne Of Central has played some
good ball for the American Security and
Trust Company, while Cox of the same
school has pitched well for one of the
other teams. Mess and Heffiin Of Central
and Mclean of Tech have all been accom-
plishing all that could be expected of
them with different teams in the Column
bia League.
The high school teams of last spring
have furnished the mainstays of more
than one club in the different leagues.

game on ice for the Nationals, was a

pitchers.
Johnson has about as many scratch hits
made niassor off him in his games i as any
game in which he pitches in which
the opposing team does not get couple
of Texas leaguers-stingy hits which
barely escape the infielders. Yesterday
two of these hits came near to making
trouble In the fifth inning Kuhn and
Rath got couple of scratches with two
out, and then came a couple of regular
hits which netted two runs. After that,
out five in the last three innings. He
struck out ten in all in eight innings.
While the Nationals base hit column
has shown doubled figures but seldom Of
late. yet the team has made it's hits
count. But there has been no real hard
hitting by the locals for some time. The
teams strength lies in the fact that 1t has
three men at the top of the list who are
on the bases good deal, so that when
one of the batters who follow happens
to hit safely the drive is usually pro-
ductive of runs.
Callahan picked Peters to stop the Ma
tionals yesterday, but Peters did not last
long. He started by striking out Moeller,
but Foster got hit. Lord made high
peg of Milans grounder. and third and
second were occupied in a jiffy. Gandil
came through with the hit that was
necessary to score both runs, but was left
himself.
In the second Walter Johnson hit his
home run. which gave his team a total of
three runs. There was no scoring again
until the fifth and then the Sox did it.
After Weaver had been retired Kuhn got
a scratch single to left. Bell famed, but
Rath sent a grOunder past johnson which
developed into another scratch hit Cal
lahan hit safely to center, scoring Kuhn.
and Lord followed suit by sending Rath
home. But Mcbride took care Of Collins,
and ended the scoring for the remainder
of the day, so far as the Sox were con-
cerned.
Benz went in to pitch in the sixth. He
walked Mcbride and Shanks hit for three
bases. scoring him. Johnson famed, but
MOeller singled, bringing Shanks home.
In the eighth couple of runs were add
ed Johnson walked, but was forced by
Moeller. Foster flied out and Milan hit
for three bases, scoring Moeller, and COM
ing home himself on a poor return of the
ball.

NOIlu OllAd vs.. iLiiiSohi <ASSiaS'
BY the same score that Nativity de-
feated Ingram in the last game II again
defeated it in yesterdays contest before
a crowd of 1,5O9 enthusiasts. The cause
of the defeat for Ingram was the mas
terful pitching of Kelly.
Nativity scored two runs in the first
on hits by Small, Johnson and Smithson,
and one ir the second and two In the
fourth, which was more than Ingram
could get in the whole game.
Nativity scored three runs in the eighth
after two were down by the poor head
work of johnson, who tried to force the
runner on third home: he did, and threw
wild to Hoffman, and before the In
GRANTEES settled down three runs had
come across the pan.
Charley Miller made a sensational stop
and throw of a hard-hit grounder which
looked good for a hit. He knocked the
ball down and recovered it in time to
throw out the runner.
This game lost by Ingram does not put
it out of the race by any means, but
would have helped a lot 4 1t had won.

TALE-HEARER WORSE THAN

There are conditions, which make
) It duty for one to tell disagreeable
things Of and concerning another;
but such conditions rarely, if ever
afford either a motive or justifica
ton for ordinary tale-bearers. While
4 it is commendable to- bravely perform
a disagreeable duty, it is detestable
TO peddle stories just for the love OF
scandal, or some baser motive. And
the skill displayed by the scandal
monger in Transforming a harmless
fact into a salacious narrative ex
ceeds the work of the skilled slight
Of hand performer. .-
Shakespeare, as usual, was correct
when he rated the tale-bearer as
more dangerous than the theft, and
proved his contention by these often
quoted lines:
"Who steals my purse, steals trash;
it's something, nothing;
Twas mine, tits his, and has been
slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my
good name,
Robs me of that which not enriches
him,
And makes me poor indeed"
