GEORGETOWN PREPS
COMPLETE SCHEDULE
Blue and Gray Youngsters Will
Meet All of Local High
Schools.

manager Mullgan of the GEORGETOWN
college preparatory school base ball team
announced the list of games that he has
scheduled for the Blue and Gray embryo
collegians for the coming season, which
includes fifteen contests with scholastic
teams in this vicinity. The prep season
"opens this year at practically the same
time that the Georgetown varsity nine
opens its schedule. The same policy that
was inaugurated by Manager Haggerty of
the local university team this season has
been followed out by the prep manager
that is, the preparatory team will close
its season on a date which is nearly two
weeks earlier than that which marked the
last game schedule last year.
The first game that is scheduled for
the Hilltop youngsters is with Business
High School. which is to be played on
the Hilltop diamond on the 10Th of March.
| This meeting is an annual affair between
the two schools, and it has a. very i'm
pOrtant bearing on the scholastic cham
pionship of the district although it is
scheduled for a very early date in the
season, it will without doubt raise the
greatest possible interest The West End
props will in all probability meet the
StenographerS on the latters diamond on
the I'D of April. and il each team should
succeed in winning one of the games that
are already booked, there will be a third
game arranged to decide the supremacy
between the two teams.
The schedule for the Props for the COM
ing season is as follows:
March Business High School. at home. :
April Eastern High School, at home.
April 2-Western High School, at home.
April 1:;-Maryiand Reserves, at home.

faster as whole than the four who rep

MORAN AND MOORE
FIGHT GOOD.DRAW
Pal Displays CIeverness in
Blocking Owens Punches.
Eng|ishman Aggressor.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Owen Moran
of England and Pal Moore of Phladel-
phia fought ten-round draw at the
Fairmont A. c. last night. Each gained
the honors of three rounds with four
rounds so evenly fought that neither had
an advantage.
1t was good bout, but not fast one.
Each had blocked many blows, Moore
being particularly effective in stopping
Moran's hooks and uppercuts. Moran
did not display his old time skill and in
comparison to the work he showed in
previous bouts was slow and ineffective.
Time and again Owen tried to knock Pal
out with right uppercut, his best punch,
but he was unable to break through
Moore's guard.
Moran carried the fight to Moore in
the greater number of the rounds. In
the early sessions he drove his left and
right with great force to Pals body. rob
bling him of much of his strength. Pal
was the better at long range and fire.
quently shook Owen to his heels with
straight lefts and swings. If Moore had
been more aggressive he would have
earned the decision, but he did not start
his attack until the last round. This was
a sizzling chapter, the best of the bout.
