Eastern and Western will meet today
at American League Park in the con-
test for the school title. 1t will be a
ing to make good the hold it now has
on first place and in which Western
will work with might and main in an
effort to wrest from the Light Blue
and White lads another chance to play
for the honor. There will be double
header, Business being scheduled to
play Central in the second game.
Everybody. almost, is familiar with the
situation in the school series and it is
useless to waste space in recounting
the standing of the teams and what
will happen if such and such mines win
or lose The championship may or
may not be decided today. There are
those who think it will and others who
figure that Western will win. Be that
as it may, it is likely that two very
evenly matched teams will contest
with every bit of spirit they possess
for the highest honor in scholastic
base ball.
Western will have Brewer on the
mound and Eastern will depend on john
son to do it's flinging. Both men have
been doing very creditable work in the
school series. johnson has won all three
of his games. while Brewer. although
he has lost one. has shown almost II
not quite as good form as his rival
Kelly Will pitch for Business in the sec
ond game and Taggart is certain to do
the work In the box for the Blue and
White. Business has made a better
showing in the series SO far. but it is by
no means certain that 1t will be able to
defeat Central.
The games today will give good line
on the men who will be chosen for places
on the all-high team. 1t is certain that
the first pitcher and catcher will be
chosen on the basis of their showing to-
day. Whether the all-high battery will
be Brewer and Lehman or Johnson and
Cohill will be known as soon as the
game between Eastern and Western is
ended, as il is fairly sure thing that
the honor will be given to the two men
who win their game.
1t has been decided that the school
track and field games will be held tomor-
row. There is the possibility OF another
postponement, but it Is definitely under
The affair has been delayed too long as
it is, the men having been compelled to
keep in training for a greater length OF
time than has really been advisable. and.
" possible. the events will be run off.
The meet, being held tomorrow, may
work a little hardship on the Western
squad. as Brewer, who pitches for the
Red and White. is one OF the mainstays
of the track team. He will probably not
be in quite as good shape as IL he were
allowed day OF absolute rest, but then
it is possible that he will not be affected
to any considerable extent.

The Catholic University has cancelled
the base ball game 1t had scheduled
with the Maryland Aggies for tomor
row No reason was given for the ac-
ton. The cancellation came as a dis
tinct disappointment to the Farmers, as
they had figured that they had u good
chance to even up with the Brookland-
ers for the defeat sustained earlier in
the year at their hands.
