Local college and high school players
are doing some extraordinarily good
WORK with teams in the amateur
leagues There is scarcely q circuit in
which there are not several lads from
the schools and colleges. and all APP
pear to be playing as good ball as any
of the others
Out in the Marquette League four
western High boys practically won for
the War Department team from ST.
Stephens yesterday. They scored all
the runs made and did good all-round
work in the field. In the Federal
League there are many high school
players who are doing very creditable
work for their clubs. Several Central,
BUSINESS and Tech men are performing
with mines in this circuit The ma iorit V
of the Eastern High aggregat ton are
playing In the East Washington Sun
day School League, while there are
several schoolboys playing in the
Northwest circuit.
Several teams in the Capital City
League have men OF ability playing with
them, who got in shape this spring as
members of college and school teams.
Wood, who captained the Business High
nine, is playing the outfield for South
land, and Howard. the captain of the
Club. Cornell also has Mccarthy and
Martin, two Georgetown men, playing
short and right field, respectively, both of
whom are doing capable work. The
American Security has the greatest per-
centage of college men on it, it number
ing on its Roster Hayes. Zachary and
Green of Catholic University. Fienle and
Davis of Georgetown and Norris, Ship
ley, Loomis, Knode and Hoffecker of
| M. A. G.
1t is very probable that Davis. who left
the Bankers team to get a tryout with
the Cincinnati club of the National
League. will be lack here within the next
few days. His arm is not in very good
shape and he has signified that it is his
intention to return as soon as poSSibue.
Chris Fienle pitched mighty fine
game against the Cornell Company nine
yesterday. His work from every angle
was splendid. Not only did he have good
! control Of the ball, but he kept the bat
tiers from hitting him effectively at any
| stage Of the contest Two OR three times
he was in a hole, too. but he pitched
himself out Of the tight places. though,
in manner that was extremely credit
able.
When all is thought over there is not
better pitcher in the District among
the amateurs than Fienle. His work is
generally of a character that is abb
Not only is he capable but he is one of
those fellows who are in the game work
ing for all that is in them at all times.
Stearns, shortstop. has been elected to
captain the Western High School nine
next spring The choice could hardly
have been better. because Stearns is the
kind of a youngster who will make a
good leader. His play has been of such
a character that he is recognized as one
of the best infielders in the schools and
by far the most capable Shortstop.
He should be able to lead very capa-
BILE team, too, because. with the exception
of Howard and Lehman, practically the
whole Red and White nine of this season
will be back. The main place to fill Will
be that of catcher. because good men for
this position are much harder to develop
than infelders. Howard. of course, is
very capable and was undoubtedly the
most valuable man i'm the entire series of
the spring just ended. but at that it is
questionable whether or not he will be
missed as much as will Lehman
Goodman was elected to captain the
Central track team next year. Goodman
has done the ma jority of his track work
in the sprints and broad jump although
he has attempted to put the shot in sew
eral meets.
