Tom Cantwell will coach the Business
High School base ball team this spring.
announcement was made this morning
that the former Georgetown and Gin
cinnati pitcher would take charge of the
Stenographers' nine and teach the players
the game until about the LIST of May,
when he would be compelled to join his
club for the season.
That Business has secured the services
OF Cantwell means that it will have it's
nine under competent instructor. Can't
we'll has had lot Of college and pro-
fessional experience. and will probably be
able to handle the high school team so
as to get the best results. Having
played that kind Of ball himself, he
knows that it will be impossible for him
to teach his men to play the kind Of ball
that do professionals which is generally
the mistake made in coaching high school
mines.
Cantweil will have charge Of the Bust
ness team until he leaves for Terre
Haute. where he is playing at present.
During that time he should be able to
teach the Stenographers lot about the
game. especially the pitchers. II Cant
well can develop one man who can do
effective work in the box he will have
accomplished enough to cause Business to
be big factor in the scholastic race. A
pitcher is about all that is needed to
make a high school nine a winner.
The first Of the intercity games between
the local Y. NJ. c. A. quint and the as
sociations in Baltimore will be played
tomorrow night. The Central five will
meet the West Branch aggregation. 1t

that the local men play against the
Baltimore branches every season.
The West Branch five is about the
strongest basket ball team in Baltimore.
that city by good margins, and has de-
feated several others of the strongest
teams. 1t managed to win the series
from the local quint last year, and fig
ures it has an excellent chance to do sc
this season.
There is little doubt that the Washing
ton association Is represented by about
the most capable quint it has ever had
The manner in which it has been gettins
away with its games is evidence enough
that it is capable of giving the best of the
fives in this section hard game. The
west branch aggregation will not &C
away with the contest in any easy fash
ion, that is certain.
The Maryland Aggies dropped their Sec
ond game of the season last night In
Baltimore. The Farmers were defeated
by the Coast Artillery Corps quint by th<
score of 80 to 18. The general showing
though. was much better than that made
against the Y. NJ. c. A. last Saturday
night While the Aggies were opposed tt
a veteran aggregation last night. they
got IN and played much better baske,
ball than they have shown so far. They
covered better and played a more capable
all-around game.
Schuerholtz, who held down a place or
the Baltimore Medical College quint two
years ago, is a member Of the team the
Farmers met. The others on the squad
are but little below his standard.
The Georgetown Collegians received 8
decisive defeat at the hands of the Y
M. c. A. five last night. The collegt
| FIVE. despite the good showing it made
| in its own gym, was completely outplayed
| in every department last night. the asso
citation boys showing their superiority If
every department of the game.
The Collegians failed to show as vel
as they have done in the past. They ap
peared to play much below their stand
ard although even at their best they
hardly would be able to play on ever
terms with the association qulnt.
