CY MACDONALD
CENTRAL
Former Collegiate Star to 'Tu-
tor the Blue and White
Ball Team.
STAR PLAYERS ARE LOST
Adviser Marks, Which Come Out
Monday, May Hurt Several
Mines.
STAR PLAYERS ARE LOST
BY c. w. SWAN.

Cy Macdonald, former star ball player
at Central High School, Georgetown Uni
versity, Winchester, Goldsboro. and a
couple of hundred amateur clubs, has
been appointed coach of the Central
High School team for the 1913 season.
Yesterday afternoon Principal Wilson.
| of the o Street institution, impaired the
information that a professional coach
would not be secured for the Blue and
White this season. and that Cy Mac
Donald would have charge of the men
| as often as he found 1t possible to get
out.
Cy coached the Central team in 1911.
| and turned out a fairly good team, all
things considered. Shock Boetler did the
hurling for the o-Streeters, and was
about the only man on the team who was
able to play real baseball.
Cy will more than likely take charge
of the team this morning. IL the boys
go out for practice at the r. R. Y. NJ.
c. A. League diamond. Cy has fairly
good bunch out for the team and should
develop corking good team.
Eastern's championship aspirations
were given a severe se.tack yesterday
when the advisory marks deprived the
team of several valuable men. The
loss of Cohill will be felt more than
the loss of the other men who failed
to pass In their studies Cohill was
one Of the best catchers in the high
schools last year. and he was figured
as being one of the most valuable men
on this years squad. There still re-
mains a slight chance for Cohill TO
pass of his deficiency and become ELI
gible to play before the first cham
pionship game with Business.
Wood and Williams were the other
men who were declared Ineligible. The
former was a promising candidate for
the infeld. while the latter was out
for the outer garden.
Eastern will journey out to College
Park this afternoon TO play the Mary
land Aggies. Coach Hatch will give
his whole squad a chance to show what
they can do. Who will do the catching z
until Cohill gets back is a mystery.
Carnes has shown some form. but his
inexperience puts him at a disadvan-
tage. II is highly probable that Thor
nett will be given a chance to show
what he can do behind the bat, as he
has had a little experience receiving.
Thornett practically had his job at
third cinched. but a first-class catcher
is more essential to a team than .
first-class third baseman: so IT is moro
than likely that he will be shifted.
cal High School baseball team. will send
his charges against the Gallaudet squad
this morning in the first game of the
season Capt. Kendall, of the Buff and
Blue aggregation. plans to use every man
on the squad. while Coach Robertson
will work at least fifteen men during
the battle.
The game. which will start at II
o'clock. weather permitting, should be
a good workout for each team. as il
will be frs. real chance the boys will
have had TO get outdoors and work hard.
Gallaudet has been outside but twice,
and Tech has been on the diamond the
same number of times.
Tech will be watched with n great
deal of interest by the other high
schools, rs Coach Robertson is said to
have 4 corkiny good team and one which
will bear watching.
1t was learned last night from one in
authority at Business. that only one man
will be lost to the team through failures
in his studies. Just who this is could not
be learned, but the information was
given out that it is an infielder.
Tech is likely to lose at least two
men, while Western will mole than like
ly keep its squad intact. Central is
slated TO drop three men from the squad.
The gym meet at Gallaudet last night
was a nugh success. A good sized crowd
witnessed the different exhibitions, and
the athletes put up several interesting
bouts.
w. I. johnson has been appointed
manager CT the Gallaudet College base
ball team. succeeding w. Lindes, who
was forced TO give up the position owing
to the press of work at college. The
new manager is hustling after practice
games with the local high schools. and
would ike to arrange several more
games with prep and scholastic teams
around the District. to be played on
the Galaudet diamond.
