section is practically ended. Only few
more games remain to be played before
the school teams will turn in their suits
until another year. One of the local col
leges finished it's list of games some time
ago. while the three others will quit play
ing in another week.
GEORGETOWN ended its schedule two
weeks ago in a game against the Uni
versity of Hawaii. 1t had two scheduled
afterward, but neither took place. owing
in one case to cancellation and the other
to poor weather conditions.
Catholic University has practically COM
pleted It's schedule One or two games
remain that are almost won before the
team goes on the field. Gallaudet also
has ended its list with an exception. The
Maryland Agricultural College has but
two more contests to play. one next Wed
nesday with st. Johns. and the other the
following Saturday with Washington Col
lege.
With the Business Eastern game Wed
nesday the high schools ended their sea-
son and will play no more games. unless
1t be that Tech will meet the Georgetown
Props in post-season contest Ihere
were some arrangements made for sucn
a game but whether or not they will be
carried out is unknown.
Cathedral and the Army and Navy Prep
School may possibly play a few more
games, but with those will come the ehd
Of the school and college games for the
year.
While there has always been decided
tendency on the part Of the local high
schools to sidestep the Georgetown Props
in athletics, 1t is an attitude that Is en-
tirely wrong. 1t Is fact that the Props
have been compelled to go without games
because Of lack of ambition on the part
Of the other school teams in the District
the case is apparent. The high schools
especially have been treated with every
courtesy by Georgetown, and the ef-
forts Of Georgetown officials to aid the
school authorities In their dilemma
in regard to grounds have gone even
farther than could really have been ex-
pected. Georgetown has not only let the
high schools have its field for their games.
but 1t has Inconvenience its own teams
in their practice to do so.
In return for the favors shown the high
schools 1t would be as little as they
could do to schedule at least one game
season with the Blue and Gray young
sters. It would be only small return
for the help rendered at times when 1t
was greatly needed.
The Mount Pleasant team, while 1t was
thought that 1t would have to forfeit
its franchise in the Columbia League.
will be out this afternoon with reju-
venated nine. The aggregation Will De
much stronger than in any of its former
games. according to Mr.. Lynn. the vice
president Of the circuit. He claimed that
the Mount Pleasant aggregation would
show up much stronger In the coming
games than 1t has In the past.
There will be two field days held next
week by the high schools. Next Wednes-
day Western will hold its events. while
on Friday Central will conduct its games.
Both meets will include base ball games,
track events for both girls and boys and
other features.
With Brady pitching in the form he did
yesterday in the Independence League
there Is not much chance for any OF the
other clubs to win against him. The big
fellow seemed to have a good curve ball
working. and also plenty Of speed. There
found him to any extent. and never con-
sistently enough to put them in the run
ming. If all the Lofner pitchers work
in the form that did Brady yesterday
there will be a mighty hard time coming
for any Of the other mines which try to
beat 1t out.
The Maryland Aggies will play Della
ware College at Newark, Del, tomorrow.
The Farmers have always been about on
d.
ball, and should stand about an even
chance to win.
The First Presbyterian nine will pro-
test the game forfeited to Ninth yes
terday In the East Washington Sunday
School League. 1t 10 claimed that the
play on which Ninth scored its runs
was not legitimate. and one who Is in
a position to know what he Is talking
about stated this morning that unless
the game was given to the First Pres
byterian team. to which 1t legally be-
longs. that club will quit the league
for good.
That Cornell is going to be a favorite
again this year in all its big races Is
certain from the manner in which 1t
got away with the eight-oared affair
against Harvard and Princeton. The
selves to win. and it IL likely that
when it comes time for the big re-
gatta they will clean up just as they
have been doing for the past few
years. Harvard was second In the race,
beating Princeton by a bare ten feet.
The Central High track team is off to
Cornell today to take part In the inter-
scholastic meet to be held at Ithaca to-
morrow. Four fellows will be taken
along on the trip by Bill Foley. They
are Blackstone, Hamilton, Reuter- and
Goodman. Reuter- and Goodman will run
in the dashes and also compete in the
in the 2o0-yard hurdles. while Hamilton
will run the half-mile and put the shot.
1t is more than likely that Reuter- and
