READY FOR BASEBALL START
By BRYAN MORSE.

Central High School will have no
crew on the Potomac this year-that is
not unless some of the students who
are backing the project are able To
present their case to Principal Emory
Wilson more favorably than they have.
Not that Principal Wilson is not open
to conviction, for years of active IN
terest in all forms of athletics at Gen.
trail have given him broad outlook
on the athletic side of the boys train
ing. He is perhaps as well known
figure in high school athletics as any
other principal, has followed all of his
own teams closely, and those Of other
high schools and is in a position to
know of what he is talking ABOUT.
"I cannot see how We can put out a
crew this year and did not know any
thing of a Central High School crew
other than the fact that one or two

came to me and spoke something OF
crew work." said Mr.. Wilson.
Forced to Affiliate.
1--WE would be forced to affiliate with
some crew here in the city, the Poto-
mac Club is the only one at present
that we could hook up with and under
the circumstances 1 cannot see how
we can take the matter up.
.of course, 1 am open to conviction,
hut unless the case is put up more
strongly than IT has been we Will have
no crew. At present there are enough
activities in athletics in the school ana
we have our hands full recruiting for
baseball and track in the spring.
1t would seem that the report tnat
Jim Sprigman will take charge OF the
baseball team next week Is at TINS time
,,nfounded Sprigman says he has re-
ceived no overtures from central ano
has made no offer to take charge OF
the team. In this event the report com-
ing from one in authority seems 10 De
without the ken of Sprigman.
In a week the high schools expect TO
be out in the first practices for the
baseball teams. 1t is a bit early TO get
q line on just what will comprise the
rosters of the teams to compete Tor tre

All of the boys are certain that a
better article of baseball will be fur
nished this season due to the fact that
American League Park has been OBJ
tanned for the annual series. The
games, for the most part were played
at Union League Park last season un-
der conditions anything but desirable.
Tech Is Ready.

games the teams are all confident that
the games will be more attractive. in
teresting and closely fought Tech is
preparing to come back for another
crack at the baseball pennant. In the
event that the Maroon and Gray takes
this years title 1t will have won for the
third year in succession
Tech is suffering from the same old
complaint with list of fiunkers as
other schools at present. The boys are
anixously putting extra time trying tc
get their conditions off so that they
may be eligible to play this season.

Business To Be There.
