Just what was expected. and was not in
the least a surprise 10 those who have
watched him i'm previous meets this

Jones is a track star of a brilliance sell

Zachary was elected 10 the captaincy
of the Catholic University base ball team
for next year at meeting of the men,
oers of this seasons players yesterday
Zachary has been a member of the c. U.
nine for two years and has done some
very- creditable work in that time. He
has not played in only one position but
has been sort Of all-round man. holding
down jobs in the outfield. behind the bat
and in tine infield. During the season
just ended he has played second base,
and has done some good work in that po-
sition Zachary has proved himself hit
ter above the average, and has done con-
sistent work in every position in which
he has been used. He has a splendid dis
worthy of much commentator.
Zachary seems To have all the requi-
sites of good captain.

The work of Brewer of Western in the
High school meet yestrday was of such
a character as to afford much gratif1ca-
,ion 10 the followers OF that school.
That he was able 10 finish second In
both dashes seems to he evidence that
Western ought TO be strong next year as
ven as this. If Brewer could beat the
representatives of the other high schools
this season there is no reason for be-
lieving thaS he Will not be able To do so
next spring. Hc should BE- able TO gain
as much by development as any Of the
other mon against whom he competed
yesterday.
The much-postponed high school base
hall game will be played today. II is
scheduled to take place at Catholic Uni
versity and should come of this time,
there being nothing In the way to prevent
its being played.
The contest will be played under prac-
tically the same conditions as were men,
toned for the last time the game was
scheduled
