making of an ineligible player eligible
just to have him in the game against It
While 1t Is hoped that such will not be
the case, 1t is more than possible that
the matter will cost c. U. its game with
Princeton another year.
Law, who is playing shortstop for
Princeton, takes lot of chances in
make his play a whole lot easier by toss
ing his man out at second. Yesterday
against Georgetown there were two n
stances when he had men on first and
on a short throw. yet he took the chance
of throwing across the diamond with
heavy wind blowing.
After all is said and done. it must
be admitted that it would be mighty
hard job to find a better college pitcher
than Chris Fienle. The Blue and Gray
captain is away above the average, and
any time he starts game 1t may as well
be put down that the opposition Is in for
pretty tough time Of it. especially
IL he Is in good shape. Yesterday
against ST. the Tigers Fenle had good con

to win his game easily. It is Fienle's
knowledge OF pitching that makes him
the pitcher he is. rather than any great
amount of stuff. Many spectators. and
players, too. watch Fienle and say that
he has nothing, and is only an average
performer Yet he wins games against
the best; wins them not because of
great speed and fast-breaking curves,
but because he knows how.
ern High Is winning games this spring,
1T Is going to be right in the race for
scholastic honors. In talking of probable
championship winners little has been said
about Eastern. and yet it has undoubt-
edly shown better form than any other
school nine. short time ago the Cap
itol Hill lads defeated Tome institute,
Friday they won from the Randolph
Macon Academy and yesterday they took
"a contest from the Massanutten Acad-
emy by to 2. One such victory may
not mean a great deal, but when they
are consistent 1t is a different PROPOSE
ton.
If anything. It is more than likely that
Eastern will have a stronger nine than
that Of year ago. The Light Blue and
White has one or two players it did not
have at that time and they are showing
fine form at bat and in the field. One
make brilliant record in the champion
ship series. Yesterdays work is a fair
sample Of what he can do. He got two
hits out Of four times up. had five put
outs. two assists and no errors. John
son seems to be working in good form in
the box again. as he won again yester-
day. F7aherty. behind the bat. is also
doing well.
Some Of those teams that have not
been figuring much on Eastern had bet

plays as well in the series as 1t has been
doing in the practice contests.
Greer. who plays the outf1eld and
pitches for Eastern, has been doing some
good work in both positions. Friday he

five put-outs.

siveness and willingness to work and obey
orders are strong favorable points in
Greer's makeup.
It would be rather setback to the
American colleges and athletes If the
this country and takes first place in the
championship event at Pennsylvania.
And there is no doubt that the English
team will have a fair chance. on II
are at least two exceptionally clever
milers. as is well known by their past
performances. Provided the other two
members of the quartet are capable Of
holding their own. the British aggrega-
ton will have at least an even chance.

American runners to know. If they are
