Several Amateur League Clubs
Arrange to Sign Capable
College Players.

Game for School Championship
Scheduled for Georgetown
Field-0ther Gossip.
BY H. C. BYRD.

The acquisition Of several college
base ball stars is expected TO strength
en- many of the amateur base ball
teams after the end of the scholastic
year. There are two or three men
playing with school teams away from
here. and there are others who are
taking prominent parts on local teams.
These have been approached by man.
ayers of more than one amateur club
In an effort to enlist their services for
the season.
There are several men on the Catho-
lie University and Maryland Agricul-
turai College mines who would be
mighty valuable to any team in the
city. and there is at least one man
playing with Gallaudet who would
prove worth while. Just what clubs
the several men will sign with is a
question. but it is assured that several
of them will be found performing in
the amateur leagues. Two or three
Georgetown men are already playing.
and it is possible that another will
sign up with a certain club for the
greater part of the season.
II is definitely reported that decision
Z has been reached by the faculty advisers
of athletics in the high schools as to when
fthe track and field meet and base ball
games will be held. Prof Matthews and
= Prof Wallace of Western and Eastern.
respectively. agreed yesterday that the
base ball game between these two schools
should he played Thursday afternoon at
Georgetown field. and il was agreed by all
that the track and field games be held
Friday afternoon on the Cathedral School
field.
Nothing has been sad about the Bust
hess-C entrai game. and II is very prob
able that If Eastern wins from Western
" viii not be played. If Western is de-
feated. Eastern will have disputed
possession of the scholastic title and the
game between Central and Business would
do nothing more than decide the rightful
owner of third place. a rather empty
honor But If Western wins from East
crn-. that will necessitate the playing of
the BuSlnesS-Central game. because if
Business won il would give il chance at
the title, causing triple tie.
The postponement of the high school
track meet from last week will probably
give Central little better chance TO
hn1sh hrst again One of the mile run
ners at that school. lad who has been
figured to get second place was not in
shape TO run last week owing to slight
attack of tonsilitis. Had the meet been
run on then, he would probably not have
taken part and the three points that Cen
tral would not have secured may be add
ed to Its total with him running

ey Jones of Western. If that youngster
does not win four first places, then indi-
cations will not hold good. 1t is certain
that there is no man i'm the schools who
can beat him in either of the two dash
events, and il is just as sure that he will
win the. broad jump The only way that
;. he can be beaten out of first place in
either Of these three competitions is for
him To fall or otherwise injure his
chances Hhe should also win the quar-
ter. There is only one man who looms
