COMMENCE TENNIS
EXAMINATIONS At
HILLTOP COURTS
Blue and Gray Racqueters
Are After Southern Col
legiate Title.

The elimination matches of candidates
for the Georgetown University tennis
team commences this afternoon and
will continue until only three men re-
main. This trio, with possible fourth
man for alternate, will assist Captain
Brosseau in an effort to add the tennis
title OF the south Atlantic colleges to
the already big list of athletic champion
ships that the Blue and Gray institu-
ton has captured this year. Instead OF
using the straight eliminate method
Captain Brosseau and Manager McQuil-
Ian have decided to adopt the round
-obin system, every candidate facing all
other candidates in three-set match,
the men with the highest percentage of
victories winning places in the team.
On past form, particularly from the
showing in the annual fall tournament
last October. 0'Boyle, Mclean, and
Devlin seem to be in line for the places,
but they will have to show their old
time ability IL they are to keep several
of the newcomers off the squad, as
many of the candidates have been dis
playing wonderful form in recent prac-
tice.
Devlin was paired off with Mark
Trumball on the 1911 court team and
participated in several Victories, win
ming from St. Johns and Annapolis, be-
sides other pairs. Because of the ex-
perience gained In intercollegiate tennis
last year, Devlin Is about certain to be
on the toam this spring, in which case
he and Brosseau will hook up with one
of the new men, leaving one veteran on
each pair to keep the green players
steady. Devlin has developed a beau
tiful serve and looks to have improved
so per cent over last year, and all indi-
cations point toward his having most
successful season.
Mclean defeated Devlin in the fall
tournament GA and 7-5, and this assures
him of consideration before the final
selection is made. O'Boyles case is
the same as the 1915 man qualified for
the finals in October by eliminating sew
eraf of the veterans.
Sill and Morgan cover lot OF ground
and have nice serves. and they will
have to be considered before team
mates are selected for Captain Bros
seau. Hamilton and Kermin, while they
must be ranked among the possibilities,
appear to be little shy of the required
ability, being erratic, but, as they may
steady down, there is chance for them.
The full list of candidate that have al
ready declared their intention OF trying
for the team are: Kerwin, Barrett,
Lynch, Carol. Mclean. O'Boyle, SILL
Morgan, Hamilton, Cronin. Graham'
Carr, Vlymen, Mulligan, Skip wy
mard, Macquire, Litski. Repetti, Need,

HIGHWAY BETWEEN
TWO CITIES MAY Be
COMPLETED BY FALL
Washington to Baltimore
Boulevard Is Inspected BY
Maryland Officials.
BY HARRY WARD.

That the improvements being made on
the Washington Baltimore boulevard
will be completed by fall, Is the opinion
Of a party of Maryland road officials
who were in Washington yesterday.
They came over the boulevard on an In
spection tour. the party consisting OF
Chairman Weller. of the State roads
commission; Chief Engineer Crosby. and
Secretary Luzius, Of the Automobile
Club of Maryland.
I'VE found a large part of the road
in excellent condition. said Secretary
Luzius, but other parts were in poor
shape and merited the complaints that
have been made by many motorists.
The Beltsville- Contee stretch and that
j portion of the road lying between Elk
ridge and the city limits of Baltimore
are parts of the boulevard demanding
attention"
Engineer Crosby stated the Beltsville-
Contee section, which is now being i'm
proved. would be finished by Septem-
Der. The road is being relocated III
order TO avoid the grade crossings at
Beltsviile and Contee. The road through
Laurel which is full Of ruts and which
compels motorists to slow down to four
that town, will be put in good condition
at once. Funds are available for this
purpose. and the work will be hurried
fhe Bladensburg stretch, which is full
of holes and gullies, also will be I'M
proved.
"The work on tae various parts of the
boul .vard Is to be pushed vigorously"
said Engineer Crosby. "and when It Is
| cOmnleted the motorists will have a,
road connecting the two cities that will
compare favorably with any in this Sec
,ion of the country"
That the Overland baseball team Will
be an even greater drawing card this
summer than II was during the 1911
season seems to be evident by the star
players which Manager Graham Farley
is securing" said r. c. Smith, the
Overland agent, who has just returned
| from a visit to the Overland factory in
| toledo. Two of the stars Of base
balloon which will don the Overland
uniforms this year are Floyd Kroh, the
ex-Chicago Cub pitcher, and w. w.
Thomas, who was connected with tho
Boston Nationals during the 19o9-1910
season. Both men are now employees
of the Willys-Overland Company at To-
ledo. Thomas will cover the second
sack and captain the Overland team.
Thomas played with the Lancaster team
Of the Tri-State League last season, and
was connected with the Lansing, Mich,
team during 1903, prior to signing with
the Boston Nationals. He has been
playing professional bail since 1907,
when he made his debut with the Cum
berland, Md, team. Kroh is we'll known

In his properly executed blank this

The Baltimore runners are Thomas
George, Of the Cross Country Club;
Thomas j. Hayden, of the St. Martins

Baker and Louis NJ. Jaeger, of the

George, 1t is reported, is an English
man, and has had considerable expert

oolors of the Baltimore Cross Country
Club, which numbers many of the
cracks of the Monumental City.
The five runners entered bring the
marathon list up to 105 just twenty three
less than the record number of entries,
