| Western and Central are booked 10
meet in the high school series this aft
ernoon. Western has won the only con-
test in which it has appeared, while Cen
trail lost its one game to Eastern.
| On the showing of the teams far
one would naturally think that Western
should win from Central but there is
| little telling what is going to happen
when two high school teams meet. 1t
was never thought that Eastern would
win from Business it did in the first
contest of the series, because Eastern
had not shown near much strength in
the preliminary games as has Business.
| The same Kind of mix-up might occur
| today and give Central the victory over
the Red and White, although the chances
much favor the latter.
| Brewer, who pitched against and beat
Technical High, will work for Western.
and it is probable that Taggart Will be
| the selection for Central. The Western
| lineup will be the same as in the Tech
game. with the exception of Bethel. who
will not play because of the eligibility
rules. The Central team will be some
what changed because two or three OF
| the men who were eligible will not De
able to play, and some of the players
| who were not able to play before the ad-
visory marks went in last week will be
| in the lineup.
Catholic University did not have much
| trouble in getting away with the nrst
game 1t played on its northern trip. 1t
won from New York University In a
very one-sided contest. scoring SO many
| runs that the game was called before its
| end. The Brooklanders started off by
scoring three runs in one inning, and
| from then on played well enough to keep
| the GOthamites from tally1ng that many
altogether. Fourteen TALES were annexed
~ tl,r. loan am in
the game been finished it is probable that
almost a record would have been made
/, for number of scores.
Trayers, who pitched for c. L.. allowed
the New Workers only five hits and held
his game easily after the lead given him
in the first chapter. Donnelly and Pipp
were the c. L. men who got more than
one hit. Both these lads connected for
two safeties.
The dual track and fed games sched-
uled to take place between Johns Hopkins
and Georgetown NAV IL have been de-
clared off Rather a queer reason too.
Hopkins SAYS it will not compete if
Georgetown uses Eller and Georgetown
refuses to go to Baltimore unless it can
carry Eller as member of its team.
Georgetown will end its base ball sea-
son today. 1t will go to Annapolis to
this season. The other game in which
the two teams played resulted in a score
of to ) in favor of the Sailors. but
Georgetown is figuring that it has a bet
ter chance to finish in front today.
Georgetown will pitch Mccarthy Nc
Carthy has really proved more consist
ent than any other man on the staff
and 1t may be that he will get away
with his game.
Central gets it's last opportunity in the
school series today. Unless it can make
good against Western, it is not probable
that 1t will have much chance to ac-
complish anything as far as the winning
Of the series is concerned In fact, 1t
would be practically impossible for it to
win out if it loses to the Red and White.
In that case Western would have to meet
Business and Eastern, and it would have
to suffer defeat at the hands Of both
those teams for Central to have chance
to finish Well as the team now gen
orally regarded as favorite. If it We're
to lose to Eastern. though, that would
give the Capitol Hill lads an excellent
chance to win and would still keep Cen
trail out Of anything better than second
place.
Brewer, who is doing the pitching for
Western. could make either an infield or
outfield position on that team. He is more
capable as a hitter than the average
high school player, and he can field, too.
