There will be held in this section sew
eral scholastic meets during the coming
| outdoor track season. 1t is probable that
! never before has there been a year when
as many sets of games were scheduled
solely for the benefit of the schoolboys
At least five scholastic meets are booked
to take place in Virginia and Maryland
The University of Virginia will hold the
events that have taken place there for
several seasons: Washington and Lee has
scheduled set of games to be held in
Lexington for the schoolboys; the Mary
land Aggies will entertain the schoolboys
again. as will Johns Hopkins University
and st. Johns College.
With these meets being held, it is GER
tain that the scholastic athletes will have
plenty of chances to develop and show
their mettle. Nearly all the prep schools
in the section will be entered in the meets
; mentioned, and all will make efforts to
score the greatest number of points, be-
cause there is not one set of games in
which there are not many handsome in
dividual and team trophies offered. In
order that they may be in the best shape
possible it is probable that the teams
conditions permit. OF course, the men
will be given a short rest to better fit
them to stand the long siege of outdoor
work.
1t is not known as yet whether or not
there will be any conflicts in the time OF
holding the meets. Two of the schools,
NJ A. c. and st. Johns have not as yet
determined the dates for their games. but
they will be announced shortly.
The two meets toward which the local
high and prep schools are looking this
year more than to any other are the in
terhigh school games and that to be given
by the Maryland Agricultural College.
These two meets are of little expense to
the schools, and they stand a better
chance to make a good showing in them
than in some of the others. These games
have SO many restricted events that al
most every athlete entered has chance
to win something. Then again, the attn
letes from the big northern prep schools
are not invited to the games; the older
class of scholastic athletes are kept out of
the competition, giving the younger lads
an even chance to win or get places.
The Georgetown base ball team took its
first workout under its coach yesterday
in the gymnasium. The Blue and Gray
men failed to appear on the neid Tor the
simple reason that the conditions would
not permit. 1t is intended that the first
workout will be taken this afternoon.
Yesterday Coach Harley got the men to-
gether and gave them a long talk on
what they were expected to accomplish
during the coming season.
The results of the preliminary bouts
held by the Memorial Athletic Club last
night are as follows:

Notwithstanding the fact that Batiste;
has left Gallaudet. the Kendall Green
school should not suffer for lack Of
capable pitchers. There are now two
men in the school who, with little more
development, should be able to hold their
own in the majority OF the games. or
course, Battiste win be missed. Any good
pitcher IL thing needed on a ball team,
