Hamilton, Reuter-, Blackstone and
Goodman will wear the Central colors;

from Emerson Institute and Low will
represents the Friends School. All the

the scholastic class and that they will
score points is certain. Weidmann, Reu-
ter. Low and Blackstone are the men
most liable to win or show In events.
Blackstone should at least get place in
the hurdles; Reuter-, while he may not
accomplish much in the dashes. as he Is
not going at his best. should get some
thing in the broad jump. and Low and
Weidmann are almost sure to score in
the high jump end pole vault.

Southland, in the independence League.
has a ball club that would make a great
showing if 1t would develop little in the
way Of team work. All that is done
now by the southwest aggregation is to
get up to the bat and take a whale at
the ball. and in the field get whatever
comes it's way. Yesterday. for fnstance,
in the game against the National Ath-
letic Club. one Of the players went to
that was necessary. threw down his bat
and started toward the bench. Some
body yelled at him TO run 1t out. and he
started to do SO and was almost safe on
a tumble. Had he started to run when
he hunted the BALI he would unquestion-
ably have been safe at first.
The team as a whole is a good hitting
club. and capable of scoring tallies
against almost any pitcher in the leagu
1t also has a couple Of pretty fair pitch
ers. That kind of a combination ought
to win games.
Low Of the Friends School is apt to
win the scholastic high jump at Cor
event at Pennsylvania two weeks ago,
and he is capable of doing six feet, bet
ter than any other scholastic jumper in
the east can accomplish.
And also If Blackstone does the
hurdles in twenty-six and two-fifths
seconds. the mark he attained at M.
A. C. last week, there IL no reason why
he should not win that event. It is
seldom that the event Is run In less
time than that in college meets.
A big meet between several Sunday
schools of Mount Pleasant is scheduled
to be held next week at Marshall Hall.
The event will take place Saturday aft

Kendall Green nine will make an effort
to redeem the defeat suffered at the hands
Of the Brooklanders some time ago. Ryan
