Central and Eastern Booked in
Contest Which Will Bear
on Title.
6. u. DOES FINE WORK
AGAINST NOTRE DAME
Hilltoppers Seem to Have One of the
Best Of College Teams
This Year.
BY H. C. BYRD.

Central nine is to meet Eastern. and the
result is practically sure to eliminate one.
while il will give the other a fair chance
for the title. The game will begin at
$50 o'clock.
II Central wins from Eastern it will
have to take the long end of the score in
only one more contest before it Is in a
position to obtain at least tie with the
leading club for first place. If Business
defeats Eastern and Central is the VIC
tor today, the chances are that the cham
pionshp will be decided by playoff be-
tween Central and Business, with the
odds favoring neither.
Central has been playing good ball of
late and so has Eastern. The Light Blue
and White has hardly been as consistent
this season, though, as the Streeters
The contest should be well played. and
the competition ought to be very keen
There is no doubt about the fact that
the team which wins today will have an
excellent opportunity for the title, while
the one defeated will be thrown out OF
the running
Cox will more than likely do the
pitching for Central. while Dyer is
Eastern. Johnson and Flaherty will
form the receiving ends of the bat
tories.
work yesterday when it defeated Notrs
Dame. The team representing the mid
die western institution is rated as one
of the best in that section, and the de-
and Gray undoubtedly is an indica-
tion that the latter is one of the
strongest college combinations in the
country. 1t has been playing excep
tionaliy good ball. having defeated the
strongest of the eastern university
teams rather easily and now that SUI
periority over one of the most capable
in the middle west has been demon-
strated it is only fair to look upon
the nine developed by Danny Coogan
as being on par with the very best.
There Is not much doubt that Coogan
should be given much OF the credit for
the fine showing recently made by
Georgetown. He has handled the team
in way that has brought the best re-
suits. and 10 him should go the praise
for the work done, granting. of course
that the players are entitled to their
share as the real performers. And ii is
rather rema- kable that the Blue and
Gray had about the same players last
year as this. and they were mighty good
ming team now and the lack of success
last year may be attributed to nothing
other than more capable coaching.
Fienle against Notre Dame yesterday
was simply Fienle. That is saying that
play behind. 1t is very. very seldom
that Fienle steps into the box that he
does not do good work, and yesterday
was not one of those seldom excep-
tons. He allowed the visitors only hve
hits and gave only one base on balls

Notre Dame. Catholic University was
losing to West Virginia Wesleyan. The
Srooklanders lost because the visitors
hit at opportune times. and for the
reason that several misplays were
made. Trayers was not as effective IN
the fret two innings as he has been in
his recent contests. and the result was
that the visitors got four runs across
