Eastern High Nine
Shows Nervousness

Followers of high school baseball, but
more especially those interested in the
inter-high school championship series,
will wait for the Central-Tech game,
scheduled for Tuesday next, before
making any comparisons on the strength
OF the teams after yesterdays Eastern
Western contest at Union League Park.
Western won by a score of 10 to 5, max
ing all its runs in the first three innings
and taking advantage of the nervous
ness of the Eastern team.
Eastern did not get going until late
in the game, being blanked for four
innings, and scoring only in the fifth,
seventh, and ninth rounds. Once in
awhile Eastern showed that it had
team of capabilities, but the game was
practically lost at the start, and West
ern. with a ten-run lead, took things
easy.
Little difference in batting strength
existed, and the Red and White was

down during the game. The Red and

Campazzi Reports for
Baseball Practice

Earl Campazzi. the crack Georgetown
University athlete, who was reported TO
have given up his studies in the law
department, donned his baseball togs
and reported yesterday afternoon to
Coach Springman for practice; The
New York boy was detained in the me-
tropolis a week after the Easter recess.
and this undoubtedly accounts for the
report that he had forsaken the West
End Institution, thereby greatly lessen
ing the athletic prospects for the 1872
1913 campaign.
The news that the rumor was false
was a source of great satisfaction to
the athletic authorities on the Hilltop,
