school and college teams are scheduled

exhibition series with the Georgetown
University nine Wednesday afternoon at
National Park.
While none Of the games are OF great
Importance. they will serve TO give the
coaches a chance to get a line on their
teams. and Will give the fans an oppor-
tunity to see the favorites in action
All the high school teams are sched-
uled to play-Eastern and Central start
ing the ball rolling with games on Tues
day, the Light Blue and White aggrega-
ton facing the Army and Navy Props.
while the o Streeters Will clash with the
Naval Medical School outfit. The Capt.
tol Hill boys have had little chance 10
do any outside work. and this will be
Coach Shea's first real chance to look
them over. Central has been working
regular. and should be about to hand
the medicos a trimming. capt King
has a rattling good bunch out for the
team, and with a little luck. should be
able to turn out championship aggre-
cation.
Tech Plays GnlIaudet.
Wednesday the Blacksmiths hook up
with the Gallaudet reserves, and as it
took the Buff and Blue varsity to ex-
tend itself TO the limit, the Tech team
should be able to hold the Reserves down.
Capt. Austin, with the able assistance
OF Country Morris, is getting the boys
into good shape. and the Manual Train
ers will be there when the bell rings.
The Stenographers play their first
game Wednesday, Capt. Wood stating
- afaa# ~
Georgetown Props on Georgetown Field
while the varsity is playing the Nation
ais out at the Florida avenue ball yard
Friday Central will face the Alexandria
Cardinals in Alexandria. and fast game
should result, as the boys from across
the Potomac are out for the top honorS.
and will leave no stone unturned TO hand
the o Streeters a good beating. Tech
nicaI and Episcopal High School mines
clash Friday also on the Alexandria dia-
mond. and Capt. Austin is slated to twirl
this battle. Austin is one of the best
pitchers in the high school ranks, and
will make them all go some to trim him.
A bunch OF games are scheduled for
Saturday. chief among them being the
game at National Park, between the
Yannigans and the Stars Manager Gas
saway has picked his team. and they viii
practice all this week in preparation for
this battle.
G.. U. Faces Mount st. Mnry's.
Georgetown plays Mount St. Marys on
the Hilltop. while Gallaudet faces tho
Mount st. Joseph's aggregation at Ken
dali Green. Catholic University will
hook up with the fast nine from Johns
hopkins. and Eastern will face the
Cathedral School outfit. Western will
play its first game with the Cairo Ath-
letic Club.
The high school teams lack that one
necessary essential a veteran pitcher.
Tech seems 10 be the best of OF the lot.
as the Blacksmiths have Austin, who
has pitched a great deal Of amateur ball
around the lots, but has never worked
in a championship game. Then the
Wood Butchers have young Cantwen,
who Is said to be a wonder. Until the
real test comes, nothing can be learned
regarding TIE strength OF the Manual
Trainers in the box. Central and West
ern loom up as strong contenders for the
top honors, but unless the coaches are
able to rake up a twirler able TO stand
the gafr and go the route without blow
ing, Tech will just about walk away
with the title again.
