With two exceptions. every man on
the Western base ball team Will De
back in school next year Those two
exceptions are Lehman, catcher, ana
Howard. third baseman. The one weak
spot on the Western nine next spring
is liable to be back of the bat There
has been no capabl substitute to Leh-
man this spring. and ii Will be
mighty difficult matter to develop as
capable lad as he within one season.
Lehman has been the regular catcher
at Western for three years and mas
son. Without a doubt Howard was the
best player in the series this past sea
son. and he will be missed al bat ana
in the field. Any time such sterling
performer leaves ball club it means
that 1t is an exceptionally hard job TO
fiji his place Howard. like Lehman,
has been a regular for three seasons.

the other school teams is not dehnlteiy

school team has good pitcher in the
box it stands a good chance to win.
Coach Hecox is developing crew at
Technical High this year that is going to
be an exceptionally strong aggregation, if
reports concerning it are true. The crew
Will row under the name og the Analostan
Club after the end of the school term,
and it Will bly, take part in the sew
eral regattas to be held in the middle
Atlantic section.
Incidentally 1t might be mentioned that
some of the men who go through hard
season on the water are likely to be of
much worth to the foot ball team at
Tech next fall. Rowing will certainly
develop a lot of strength in a fellow, and
there is only one other thing more essen

Morris and LoomiS. who have done
some good work for the Maryland Agri
cultural College nine this spring, Will
poin the Americon Security and Trust
team this week. Morris played his first
game for the Bankers last Saturday. and
he stole second third and home. although
he was called out at the last mentioned
place. Green and Zachary of Catholic
Saturday.
From now on it is going to be a merry
fight in the Capital City League between
that bank team and Cornell Cornell has
signed former st. John College pitch
err Tolson. who is star. and has what
many say is the strongest team in the
city. The Bankers are going TO be
stronger now that all the players will be
out. and the fight for the championship
will be worth while.
