SCHOOLBOY MANAGERS

The lot back of Eastern High School
cannot be used because there are two
other schools situated so near the school
that baseball is almost out of the ques-
ton on account of the breakagc to
windows Western is forced. for the
same reason, to find the Marquette
League grounds at Thirty-fifth street
and Wisconsin avenue.
Conditions for Tech and Business VIII
remain the same for all time on account
of the situation Of the buildings, and
again will the teams be forced to go
farther away from the schools in future
as the lots are built upon.
The fact that the schools are forced
to drill cut of the Way is one reason
hy running expenses to athleth. as
sociations are considerably heavier
than is warrantable. Constant trips
across asphalt streets and concrete
sidewalks soon puts baseball and
football shoes out of commission and
these items are the largest met by
the associations.
Some twelve games scheduled by the
high schools and prep schools with the
Army and Navy prep team are being
sought by the various managers ever
since Fred Newberry declared that
the Connecticut avenue school would be
without a team this spring.
The elections of basketball captains
for next years teams are expected in
the near future. All Of the teams
have closed the season and the lads
are marking time for baseball prac-
tice.

All Five Institutions Find Diff
Guilty in Getting Suitable
Grounds for Practice.
By BRYAN MORSE.

The five high schools are going to
have the same trouble in getting proper
practice fields for their mines this spring
that was experienced with the football
squads. owing to the fact that suitable
grounds are not available.
Under the present conditions Hcne OF
the schools owns a baseball field worthy
of the name. and 1t will again be mat
ter of considerable expense to at least
two schools to obtain leases Of parks for
the players.
Business High School will probably
use the Central League field. First and
NJ streets. and this will mean that the
Orange and Blue candidates will be
forced to drill through the streets again
TO the practice field. Tech Is probably
in line for the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A.

.BROCKTON FUND IS
NEARLY UP TO MARK
Public Spirited Bowlers Have
Responded Libera,ly to
Appeal.

Although there are some remote dis
tricts to be heard from. 1t Is today
thought that the public-spirited bowlers
Of Washington have succeeded in rais-
ing sufficient funds to insure the ex-
penses of sending the local all-star
team Of duckpin rollers to Brockton to-
morrow night. where the fi-st block Of
five games will be disposed Of on tie
evening following. The campaign for
outright contributions. aided by the
staging of several three-ban tourna-
ments. has to date brought to Chairman
Meany actual cash to the amount OF
SsH, and the remaining pledges still TO
be fulfilled is likely to bring this
amount near to the 1915 mark.
This leaves $125 still to be raised, but
the tariff from the sale Of seats when
the Brockton team comes to Washing
ton is expected to Offset this deficiency.
and that amount will probably De ad-
yanced by one Of the MANY local men
who have offered to advance any short
age which may be needed to tide over
the expenditures until after the BROCK
ton games have been completed here.
Brockton Is due to deliver It's purse OF
$500 to some Washington newspaper be-
fore the day Is over. and Immediately
upon the receipt of this amount from
the Massachusetts, rollers. a like amount
will be posted by the local committee.

Washington tomorrow at p. m, there

following morning at . o'clock. This
will give the men sufficient time to re-
cover from any effects of travelling over
night. and will also permit them to put
in several hours of practice before en-
tering the fray.
MucA speculation Is heard on all sides
today as to the probable winner Of the
series. The betting Is favorable TO
