One of the best scholastic sprinters in
the New England states will enter
Georgetown next fall, according to def
mite report. He is Smith, who made a
brilliant record last winter and spring in
competition for Roxbury High School. 1t
is said that Smith is one Of the most COM
petent men among the scholastic institu-
tons in that section, ten seconds having
been done by him consistently in the CEN
fury dash.
Such performer as Smith is reported
to be will prove a splendid running mate
for Jones in the dashes next year. and
will really give Georgetown a better OPP
portunity to show well in the field events.
Right now Jones, as the sprinting main
stay of the track squad. has been unable
to devote much attention to the broad
jump, In which he would excel il he prac-
tfced continuously. But with man like
Smith to depend upon in the dashes there
is little doubt about Georgetown making
Atlantic intercollegiate next year. He
should also be Of great value in the indoor
games.
SneTWOOu SOt d JOLT, as lar DIS It's
pennant aspirations in the Central
League are concerned, yesterday. when
it met defeat at the hands of the
Emeralds by to q The Eastern Club
Potomac circuit by 6 to 8. War got
the best of the Commissioners in the
Departmental organization and won by
s to 0. The Trojans defeated the Co
lumbias on the Rosedale Fairgrounds
easily. to being the score Ref
ormation proved an easy victor over
United Brethren in the East Washing
ton Sunday School League, "A to 4.
Car Department lost in the Railroad
"Y" circuit to Southern by 1 to s. I'M
manuel handed st. Paul another beat
ing in the Northwest Sunday School
League by to 3. Episcopal proved u
victor over Methodist in the Brook
land organization. and Tenleytown got
away with the long end Of the score
from St Stephens in the Marquette
circuit by IL to Z.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable
games played this year took place in
the Departmental League. Jarboe-
pitching for the Commissioners. struck
out nineteen men and vet lost by to
10. 1t is conceivable how pitcher
could send that many men back to
the bench by the strike-out route and
lose by a margin of a. run or two, but
that he should be beaten to under
such conditions seems almost incred-
ible.
Clark. who played first base for War.
got four of the five hits allowed by
Jarboe. One of the safeties was for
two bases. Clark had a perfect day
at bat. getting four hits out of four
times up.
Splendid pitching by McDonoush gave
the Emeralds their victory over the
Sherwood team yesterday. McDonough
kept the three hits he allowed well scat
tered and did well enough generally to
win any ordinary contest
Donnelly, playing second base for the
Emeralds. put up another brilliant game.
His work at bat and in the field was
such as to give him the most prominent
place in his teams victory. with the ex-
ception of the pitching. He handled
three chances in the field, made no err
ror. got three hits out of four times I'D
and stole two bases 1t is not often that
player gets away with a better game
than that.
Considering everything, there are few
more capable all-round players in the
| amateur leagues than Fred Heck, who is
holding down shortstop for the Shops in
the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. League and
Sherwood in the Central He nearly al
ways manages to connect for a hit or
two in a contest in which he takes
part and there ere few games in which
he does not field well. Heck is also able
to play more than one position. AS a
and has since done good work in the in
field and in the outfield.
The Car Department and Southern
teams played nice game in the Rail-
road League, each club connecting for
four hits in the eight innings. Thomp-
son and F. Callow were effective for
their respective teams. while better
each. Thompson struck out sixteen
men.
The game yesterday between the
and the Alumni was called after the
fifth inning with the score a tie. to 8.
The Alumni aggregation figured that
was about as well as it would do. and
decided that it would be better for
them if they got "out from under"
while they had the opportunity. Sill
vester. who did the pitching for the
Alumni. would not have allowed a
run had he had a catcher who could
have held his delivery. He did the
major portion of the boxwork for Hop
kins last spring. and was, consequent
ly. In good condition.
Rawlings. playing left field for In
manuel against st. Paul, had a great
day at bat He was one of the men
to get four hits out of for trips to
the plate. Three of Rawlings drives
were singles. the other homer.
Armstrong played a brilliant game
at short for Emmanuel. He got two
hits out of four times up and accept ed
five chances in the field without MAX
ing anything that looked like an error
DRESS pitched a good game for Eps-
copal against the Methodists. allowing
only one hit and striking out seven.
1t Is needless to say that he won his
game easily.
The Trojans engaged in a smuggling bee
against the Columbus, who got only four
hits. in the Rosedale League Three
home runs were made in the game,
though it was rather a coincidence that
two of them were made by members OF
the losing club Weber and Seay were
the Columbia players to get circuit
drives while Gerard got the long wallop
for the winners.
