but young Johnson, of Eastern, will give
him rub for top honors, with any kind
of support. Johnson has developed Won
derfully in the past year, and should
be able now to go the route in good
shape.
The Central team will line up as fol-
lows, Saturday against Eastern: Hef1in,
third base: McDonough, center field;
Kimball, right field; Oberlin, first base;
Macdonald, second base: Chaplin, left
field; Hartshorn, shortstop; Fleming,
catcher, and Buck, pitcher Milton may
be used in the box, but it looks as If
Buck will draw the hill assignment.
oberlin. who is playing first for Cen
trail, has the makings of a good man.
Although a little slow and awkward at
the initial sack, ''Obe'' is full of pep"
and fights all the time. With a little
experience he should develop into a fair
first sacker. He is a good hitter, but
his slowness hurts on the bases.
One youngster in the High School Sc
ries who bids fair to make a name for
himself is Ike Macdonald, brother of
Cy and Mike, former Central heroes, in
baseball
Young Macdonald is at present playing
second base. and although green at this
position, fields it well. He is a trife
weak with the willow, but will overcome
that in time. The Central coach is pleased
with the work of this youngster, and will
start him against Eastern Saturday.
Storms. the Western short fielder, will
prove the sensation of the series in
fielding, unless all the dope goes wrong
This lad is one OF the best fielders ever
seen in scholastic ranks. and will prove
a valuable man to the West FINDERS BE-
fore the season il over.

rany. Ross Blosser was reelected vice
president, and john l.. Fugitt. of the
American Security and Trust Company,
secretary and treasurer.
Mr. Beach has been one of the most
prominent of amateur baseball officials.

to back water. The first man to present
the idea of limiting a player TO one man,
Mr.. Beach has completely changed anna
teur baseball in the District. and all for
the best The present association and
board of control is his pet scheme, and
it is one which Will be a great benefit
to amateur baseball and players.
Ross Blosser is too well known to need
an introduction. Ross has been connect
ed with the Capital City League so long
he is landmark at North Capitol and
l. Streets, and without him, there would
be no Capital City League.
Fugitt Is Secretary.
John L. Fugitt. who will be secretary
and treasurer of the circuit, is an ardent
amateur baseball fan, one who will de-
vote a great deal of his time to the
league, and will not shirk his duties
Mr. Fugitt is one secretary who will see
that the releases and additions to the
teams are in Secretary Shurtleff's hands
at the proper time.
The league appointed Joe Handiboe
who handled the games in the r. r.
" NJ &. A. League for the past sea-
son, the official umpire. Handiboe Is
one of the most popular umpires around
town, and is sure to give entire salts
faction. He knows the game, and runs
the contests with speed which is pleas
ing.
The part will be completely overhauled,
and President Beach stated last night
that the grounds would be the best the
league has ever had. A new fence Will
be erected, and the grand stands fixed.
new stand will more than likely he
built along the third base line, and
several other improvements made.
Bankers VS.. Cornell.
Four clubs will comprise the circuit,
namely, Bankers, Cornell. Southland, and
waverly. As it is impossible to get two
other teams in the District as strong as
these outfits willing to enter the circuit,
President Beach stated last night that
the circuit would he four-club one, ana
that unless two other teams made appli
cation within few days, the season
would start with the four teams.
The first game will be played May 3,
with the Bankers meeting the Cornell
Tigers. The Bankers are, perhaps, one
OF the most popular teams in Washing
ton and with the Cornell Tigers in the
same league, record-breaking crowds are
sure to attend the games. The official
schedule will be published within the next
few days.

Carolina and he was combed for nine
hits, issued four passes and made the
two errors credited to his team.
The best play of the day was made by
Mcmillan, the South Carolina shortstop,

RYAN ALLOWS 3 HITS

Catholic University yesterday gained q
well-earned victory over the University
of South Carolina team, to 0. The
game was about the best exhibition of
baseball seen on University field this
season. Although both teams made two
errors, these misplays did not come at
critical times, and none of them counted
in the scoring. 1t was a close hard
fought game all the way, and not until
the seventh inning did the Brooklanders
give themselves a safe lead. The work
of both teams in the field was nothing
short of sensational, sharp fielding cut
ting off many drives that ordinarily
would have meant runs.
The work of Donnelly in center field
was especially noteworthy. He gathered
in five long drives. three of which were
of the most difficult kind. Not only that,
but he had a good day with the bat,
getting a triple and a single out of his
four times up. Mcdonnell also welded
the willow to advantage, getting a single
