OTHER LOCAL GOSSIP
BY c. w. SWAN.

Horace Milan. brother Of Clyde Milan.
the Tennessee Flyer. is making good with
the Norfolk club. of the Virginia League.
He Is being picked to hold down center
field for The Tars by Manager Shaffer
and, according to the reports from the
Virginia city, is hitting the ball hard and
timely.
Milan is slated to play center against
Schaefer's Pimientas this afternoon IN
Norfolk and he will be watched with in
terest by the older heads among the
Nationals. who will make the trip.
When young Milan left Linden. Tenn.
to join the Norfolk club, brother Clyde
had a few things to say to the kid. and
the youngster went away determined to
make good without the aid of his broth
er's reputation.
So far the youngster has shown that he
has the ability, and Manager Shaffer
will hold on to him. as he looks to be OF
big league caliber with little experience.
Navy meets Georgetown this afternoon
at Annapolis. and to say that the Middies
expect a victory Is putting 1t mildly
To date the Hilltoppers have made
miserable showing, and a win over the
Sailors Would put them in the running
again. The Middies have a pretty good
ball club. and do not look for a hard
fight from the Hilltoppers. owing to the
Yale farce.
Coach Harley will more than likely
start Feinle. notwithstanding his poor
work against the Old Eli aggregation.
II he is right Chris will put up a tough
battle. and the HilItoppers will make
things interesting for the Middies. The
game will start at O'Clock. with Billy
Belts as the umpire.
Western High School handed the Mary
land Aggies a nice little surprise yester-
day, Dave Whites outfit coming out on
the big end OF to game. Brewer
pitched the entire route. and looked like
world beater. This little fellow will
make the other scholastic mines look
wise In the coming series. unless all
signs fail. as he has a good curve. fair
speed, and a nifty change of pace.
The Galiaudet ball team will CLASH with
the ST. Johns nine th,s morning at An
napolis. the game being scheduled for
10:So o'clock. Either Rasmussen or
Moore will do the box work for the Bum
and Blue outfit with Capt Kendall be-
hind the bat. Hiemark will hold down
FIRST base. with the remainder of the first
team In action.
At last the different athletic clubs of
the District have seen their way to ask
the Amateur Athletic Union to give the
District a separate branch. At the meet
ing last night at the Y. NJ. c. a. steps
were taken which should result IN a
different class of athletics in the Dis
trIct There are enough athletes here
to support a branch of the A. A. L,
and this move will be considered by the
head OF that body before final juds-
ment is passed.
Sam johnson and Andy Walker. the
local boys with the Newport News club
of the Virginia League and working hard
for regular jobs. should make good from
the tone of the boosts handed them.
Johnson has made a good impression
on Manager Davis because OF his speed,
while Walkers clouting ability has
earned him a berth on the first team.
These lads will be watched with in
terest by their many friends here, as
II is their initial stab at the profession
al game.
