and White Nine.
CATHOLIC u. TO MEET
G. w. U. CUNT TONIGHT
BrookIanders Favored to Win
From Observation-Disclosures
Against Georgetown COL

BY II. c. BYRD.

Frank Gargan will coach the Central
High School base ball team next spring.
Announcement was made to the effect
that the Georgetown man would again
be in charge of the nine yesterday.
This will be Gargan's second year as a
tutor for the Central squad. He took the :
men in charge last spring and carried
them through a fairly successful season.
While he did not win the scholastic cham
pionship, a very creditable showing was
made with the exception Of the first con-
test. when Tech beat out the team after
it had secured something like a seven
run lead.
Gargan should have more success with
the Central squad that he did last season.
Then he did not know the caliber of the
men with whom he would have to work
and was unfamiliar with just how much
scholastic teams could be taught. With
the experience Of a season. the former
Fordham player will probably be able
to turn out much more capable aggre-
| cation.
The main lack Of the Central team last
year was a pitcher. and it was not until
| the last two contests that one was de-
veloped sufficiently to hold down the op
posing nine. This coming spring, though.
! 1t will ne different as the schedule will
| be started with a man who clearly
| showed himself able to hold his own
against some Of the best batters in the
school series.
Catholic University and George Wash
| ington teams will meet tonight in basket
ball. The game will be played at the Ar
,cade.
| The Brooklanders should get away with
| fairly easy victory. OF course they
| may get surprise and run up against a
| much stronger team than is expected but
it Is not likely to happen. They have had
| much more together than have the
Hatchetites. and. besides. have the mar
| gin which comes with their having taken
| part in three regular games.
The G. L. five will start with its regu-
lar lineup. the men who were in poor
| shape physically being in fit condition to
| play George Washington has a bunch
| Of players of whom little is known. Two
| or three Of them have played basket ball,
| but to what extent is a question. and
whether or not they will be able to work
well together will not be known until
after they have been seen in action.
The last game OF the interScholastic
! basket ball series until after the holidays
will be played tomorrow afternoon In the
gymnasium Of the Y. NJ. c. A. Business
High will meet Eastern in place of the
| two teams which were originally Sched-
uled.
The Aloysius club will meet the George
town collegians tonight in the last sched-
uled game in the class A basket ball
league until after the holidays. The
game will be played in the Gonzaga gym
nasium.
The Aloysius club has a bunch of stars
who are slowly rounding into condition
and should put UP a better game than it
has at any time SO far this season. Prof.
Joyce. the Georgetown physical instruct
or. who is in charge Of the collegians
| team. thinks he has the fastest quint in
| the circuit and is looking to spring some
! thing OF surprise when his bunch APP
pears.
Another game of polo will be played to-
| morrow night at the Arcade. 1t will be
| the rubber game between the local team
and the Baltimore aggregation, the last
played ending in a tie.
Practically the same line-ups will start
the game for both teams and a close
hard contest should be the result. The
game which ended in tie was so we'll
| fought that it had to be stopped in the
last period because of the inability Of
some OF the players on the Baltimore
squad to continue because of injuries
| That should guarantee an exceptionally
| interesting contest tomorrow night
| George Washington has two veteran
| local players on the team it will send
against the Catholic University quint to
night. They Regis and Coleman.
Both men have had considerable expert
| ence In the tossing game with club teams
in this city. There is another man who
has played on college five. McNally, he
having been a member of the Holy Cross
quint Of a few years ago.
! The majority of the men on the c. L.
quint have received their knowledge of
the sport from playing on teams at c. U.
Clancy, Lambert and Mcdonald have had
the greater part Of their experience while
| wearing the colors of the Brookland in
! stitution, while Koran was a member of
| the Quint OF last season.
| Central High is the first of the scholas-
| tic institutions in the city to decide upon
| a base ball coach, with the exception Of
those which employ year-round men. Not
| one Of the other high schools have chosen
| a man to direct their mines next spring,
| although it Is fairly certain that Nc
Caffrey will teach the Eastern lads.
Western. Tech and Business have no one
| In sight to take charge Of their squads.
Whoever wins out in the competitive ex-
| animation for physical director will be
| expected to tutor the Western nine, yet
who that will be is not known by any
means.
