Both Frew and Corkran turned in
scores Of "a the previous day. and the
final was expected to furnish some
sensational work. Rain, however. in

TO ASK CATHEDRAL SCHOOL
By BRYAN MORSE.

The high school faculty advisers
through. Emerson w. Matthews, OF
Western, will endeavor to obtain the
use of the Satterlee Field from the Ma
tional Cathedral School for Boys for
the annual field and track games post
poned from yesterday at College Park,
Maryland.
II becomes necessary owing to the
two championship baseball games
which remain to be played and upon
which the high school title hinges, to
run off the track meet some time dur
ing the meet. Several factors entering
into the calculations make IT necessary
to obtain. the use of Satterlee field for
the track games and probably George
town Field for the baseball games in
the event that any sort of a postpone
ment is necessary on account of rain.
AS matters now stand. Monday and
Tuesday will be given over to the
cadets for their. annual drill and the
baseball park is in use for this event
so that the baseball games between
Eastern and Western and Business and
Central cannot be played. On wednes-
day the graded schools are holding an
while on Thursday the colored high
school cadets hold their annual COM
petitive drill.
As the Nationals will be home on Fri
day for a game with the Athletics there
is not chance to get the park that
day. In addition to all this Western
High refuses to make its track and
baseball teams work on successive DAYS
because Brewer, who is Westerns
pitcher, is also counted upon heavily
in the 100, 220 and quarter in the meet
The faculty advisers feel IT il would
be manifestly unfair to Western to
make Brewer go through so much work
TO have the track meet held on Thurs
day at the Cathedral School grounds
while the baseball games, two of them
IN a double-header, could be played
Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Matthews is taking the matter UP
today, and will come TO some conclusion
to report to the advisers tomorrow,
when il will be definitely announced
just what will be done during the week.
If possible the tdvisers want to get all
the regularly scheduled games through
this week so that in the event of a tie
for the baseball title the teams can
start in next week for the honor.
II is explained that College Park II
