OTHERS COMPETE
FROM THIS SECTION
Two Scholastic Games This
Aftern0on-M. A. C. and
Georgetown Are Winners.
BY n. C. BYRD.

Three local colleges will have relay
teams In the games to be held at the
University OF Pennsylvania today. Cath
Ollie University. Maryland Agricultural
College and Gallaudet are the schools
that will have tours in competition.
Georgetown had intended to send a team
until it learned that three out of its four
men We're ineligible to take part in the
Penn meet because they had not been in
school sufficient length Of time.
Catholic University is entered to run in
a higher class than either Gallaudet or
NJ. A. c., The BrOoklanders are sched-
uled to go against some of the best of
the secondary teams in the north and
middle Atlantic states, and. with their
more or less inexperienced men. they will
be lucky II they place. good showing
in race that will be pretty fast should
satisfy the Red and Black.
Gallaudet and M. A. G. have been I'M
lucky In drawing for the positions. and
they will run from seventh and eighth
place on the track. respectively. This
will prove big handicap for them to
overcome. since there are schools on the
inside that have much more experienced
runners. From pole to eighth place is
probably a handicap of thirty yards,
handicap that is very difficult for a green
crowded track.
Another school from this section that
will have goodly representation in the
games is Virginia. The Orange and Blue
will have a relay four in the two-mi,e
championship and will have three other
men in competition in the open events
GOoch will try for the broa1 jump Maxon
will run the lOO-yard dash, and Crowley
will take part In the 12O-yard hurdles
ST Johns of Annapolis will have a re-
lay team entered. and it will be seen in
the same race in which Gallaudet and the
Maryland Agricultural College are enter
ed. St Johns really stands the best
chance to win this event, as it has been
lucky enough to draw the pole.
1t is much to be regretted that the
Georgetown team will not run in the
game at Penn The Blue and Gray four
could certainly win in the class in which
teams in it than usual. The men who
would run for Georgetown would be al
most fast enough to start in the cham
pionship class. The present Blue and
Gray aggregation can do mile outdoors
in faster time than the big race at Penn
has been won in on some occasions.
1t is probable that the largest crowd
that has watched scholastic base ball
game in this city in long while will be
out at American League Park this after
noon to see the games between Tech and
Western and Central and Eastern. Both
contests will be full of interest because
1t has been rumored that all four teams
have chance for the title. OF course,
the two games will eliminate, to a certain
extent two of the teams, but there is no
telling what may happen in contest be-
tween two high schools.
johnson will almost surely be sent to
the mound for the Eastern team again.
After getting away with the game
against Business so we'll he is the logical
choice. Brewer will pitch for Western
in the game against Technical. Central
viii have Buck to depend upon, while it
is doubtful whom Tech will use.
The Maryland Aggies defeated st.
Johns In base ball yesterday in An
napOlis for the first time since 1908. 1t
is the first defeat of any kind that the
Farmers have handed to a st. Johns
team in Annapolis since that time. Vic
tories for NJ A. c. over st. Johns in the
last few years have been few and far be-
tween. and not one Of them has been Sc
cured on the latter's field.
To LOOMS. the former Western High
pitcher should go the greatest amount
Of credit for winning the game. 1t was
his brilliant work that. In the main. gave
the Aggies their to ) win. In the first
place, Eoomis pitched cleverly. He was
never hit effectively, and when men were
on the bases it seemed as though the An
napolis lads could not find him at all. On
three different occasions high fly balls
were allowed to drop for hits which
should have been handled, putting the
voungster in holes, but he managed to
pull out Of them. Besides doing some
very creditable work in the box, Loomis.
with two down and a man on second and
third. drove a slashing two-base hit into
right field. sending in the runs that were
sufficient to win.
