Whah are supposed to be the final games
in the scholastic series are scheduled for
tomorrow. Western is to meet Eastern
and Business Is to play General Eastern
is leading in the race with three games
won and none lost. To cause q tie In the
series Western must win from the
Light Blue and White nine. If Western
and Business both win, a three-cornered
tie will result, but If Western wins and
BUSINESS loses. Western and Eastern will
be on even terms and one more game will
have to be played to decide the title.
just what the chances of the several
teams are would be hard to foretell
Summed up, 1t would appear that West
ern and Eastern will compete about on
an even basis. and that Business has
slightly the advantage of Central. john
ston has proved the mainstay of the
Eastern team, and if he works in as good
form as he has in the previous contests,
| should give the Red and White hard
time to get away with the long end of
the score. Western has the better in
Held, but the average of the teams in the
| other departments is about the same.
Business would appear to have the ad-
vantage of Central, but that is not saying
ers have been going along at a good gait
since the defeat administered them in the
opening contest. they being the only ones
to win from Western. Taggart of Cen
trail is very capable. though, according to
reports. once he finds himself, and he
may make more trouble than is generally
looked for.
In the most important game of the two
Brewer will pitch for Western and john
ston will work for Eastern. Kelly is sure
to be used in the box by Business. and
Taggart will endeavor to go the route
i for Central
In case of tie-up in the series, no
further provision has been made.
While the interhigh school track meet
is tentatively scheduled to be held Tues
day. there Is every probability that it will
not take place then. Western has been
intending to hold a field day and it is
scheduled for Monday. 1t is not probable
that the athletes in that school will be
allowed to compete in the field day events
one day and go right into the champion
ship meet the next. In that event they
would not be nearly as capable as other
WISE and certainly would not be able to
| run in as good form as would be the case
If they had had complete rest on the
previous day.
Catholic University's patched-up team
| failed to win from Notre Dame yester-
day, despite the fact. that it was able to
| take almost any college game. The
| Brooklanders showed Ave tallies across
| the plate. but were unable to play the
right kind OF a defensive game. The men
| did not work as we'll together as they
might have done. and the team general
| ly did not look nearly as strong as it has
on previous occasions.
tomorrow. The Kendall Green aggrega-
| ton is figuring on making a good showing
against the BroOklanders. even IL they
cannot win. If Rasmussen is in good
| shape, though, Gallaudet will give its OPP
ponents harder game than is expected.
He is very capable twirler, having
good curve and speed above the average.
Either Trayers or Ryan will work for
c. L., though Carter may be started.
Carter should be able to show we'll
against Gallaudet. as the Kendall Green
lads have not had much practice in bat
ting against left-handed pitching
The Maryland Agg1es will play their
big home game of the season tomorrow,
when they meet the st. Johns nine
While the Farmers cannot be beaten out
Of the state championship a great deal
of interest win attach to the contest be-
cause of the great rivalry between the
1.-TWO schools.
| 1t will also be interesting to note
whether or not the Aggies can keep up
their string Of victories, over the state
teams They have already defeated every
other college which could possibly have
a chance at the title, but loss to st.
Johns, especially after that team has
been beaten once. would not set easily
by any means. And there is close to an
even chance that st. Johns will get the
long end Of the score. because with
very capable pitcher and a team above
the average of those representing the
| smaller schools 1t Is not an easy combi-
nation to beat by any means.
| 1t is probable that Wilson, the lad
signed by the Nationals, will work for
St. Johns. and the chances are that
M. A. c. Both Of these men are above
the average OF college twirlers, and the
] game is liable to be very close and we'll
pitched on, both sides
Had ST. Johns won from Johns Hop
kins in it's game of last Wednesday it
| would have had q chance of finishing on
| even terms with M. A. c. Had it Won
the Hopkins game and then could have
| defeated NJ. A. c.. tomorrow there would
have been a tie for the state title be-
tween the two schools.
