AHidleuI udy dI the american League
| ball park will take place June 25 Man
ager Griffith, after careful consideration,
has decided that the mentioned date will
be the most opportune time to hold the
parade.
The event will be an exceptionally note
worthy one in amateur base ball. The
fact that those in charge OF organized
professional ball are taking such an in
! terest in the work Of those who are in
the game for the sports sake is bound to
| be appreciated.
1t is probable that the greatest num-
Der of amateur ball players ever got to-
gether in this city at one time will
parade through the American League
park, in an effort to capture some OF
| the prizes that have been offered for the
best uniformed teams. etc. Nearly every
club in the city will make an attempt to
win one Of the prizes, and It is estimated
that at least 500 players will be in the
march.
Boston will be playing a series here
June %, and after the parade is over the
amateur teams will watch the profess

the MARYLAND Agricultural College this
year. The invitation was extended some
time ago by the college authorities to
the faculty advisers of the high schools
and accepted. The meet will take place

The high school games were held last
year on the track at NJ. A. c. and the
venture was quite success. The young
sters were well cared for by the Mary
land Agricultural College authorities and
the treatment accorded them was appre-
ctated to the extent that the invitation
was gladly accepted again this spring.
ence League was worth seeing. The
esSouthland and Aloysius clubs battled to
90 score for nine innings and the con-
test was about the best that has been
son. 1t seemed that second base was
about as far as any Of the men on either
team could get. In the last inning Of
the game Southland had men on first and
play by Hines. who picked up hard
hit ball and cut of the runner at third
killed the chance for a score.

are not going to be an easy aggregation
to defeat by any means. Although 1t is
generally conceded that the chances Of
the game are with Tech, If the breaks in
the luck were to go with the Business
nine it would be mighty difficult matter
for the Manual Trainers to win out.
One factor that may help Tech consid-
| erably Is that the. marks go in today, and
the result may be that some men will
become eligible for today's game who
| will strengthen it to considerable ex-
tent.
Georgetown plays the University of
Virginia this afternoon, and the game
promises to be one well worth witnessing.
The Blue and Gray nine has not been
Idle this week by any means, nor has
Virginia. which has been playing a
series among the northern colleges with
| more or less success.
| Rixey will pitch for Virginia this aft
| ernoon in all probability. even though he
did work three innings against the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania yesterday. There
is a possibility. though, that he may be
given a days rest and then be sent In
tomorrow. Against Rixey Georgetown
will most likely start White. The big
HEAVIER has proven himself about the most
staff. and he will probably be worked in
an attempt to best the big left-hander
who Is the mainstay Of the Orange and
Blue nine.
The Maryland Aggies will play Johns
Hopkins tomorrow. The game was origi-
nally scheduled to be played in Baltf-
] more. but the fact that Hopkins field
will be the scene Of a lacrosse game to.
| more, and also the track meet between
the south Atlantic colleges compelled the
Baltimore institution to ask that the date
be changed.
Georretown will send a track team tc
| Baltimore tomorrow that is expected tc
win the first set Of games held under

chance to secure the most points Hop

There is not much doubt that Frits
Reuter- win win both the 100 and 200 In
the meet to be held by the Maryland
Angles next week. The Central young
ster Is better than any other scholastic
| athlete in this section in the dashes, and
he will probably make a runaway OF his
two races unless showed by his team
mate, Blackstone.
