Catholic University ought to have
pretty easy time OF its game with
Eastern College. That nine has NOT
been playing teams of real strensth
this year. and is hardly to be considered
in a class with the Brooklanders. Inc
Maryland Aggies will probably face the
strongest Of the three teams scheduiea
to come here. Mount st. Josephs VIII
be their opponent. and it is more than
probable that they will have to do some
of the best work they have shown this

~ least one newspaper editor does
not take a great deal of stock IN the
tinancia! resources of the Federal
League. A rather interesting sidelight
on that organization is noted IN a clp-
ping from the editorial page of the
banner a paper printed in BluHton. a
small suburb of indianapolis.
Here is the opinion Of the Blnfiton
editor:
..The Federal League. the outlaw base
ball orsaniZation is to be lasting and
llndving friend of the newspaper man.
AS an evidence, TIL" Banner is in receipt
of letter this morning asking Us to run
a siX-column cut. along with some de-
scrjptjve matter, or the opening date at
Indianapolis. and in return. and as an
evidence of good feeling. they vii, send
us one pass for the opening game. ihe

papers Of the state received this gener

and the amount they are out i'll stamps
will surely give them bad start toward
a financial outcome al the end of the
year.
Business High won another game in
Virginia Yesterday defeating tie Staun-
ton Militia y Academy by a score of )
to . The pitching of Kelly was the main
factor in the victory OF the local high
school boys. He allowed Staunton little
in the way of hits. and struck out fifteen
men Besides making that kind OF a
record. Kelly only gave one base on
balls.
In the game PLAYED yesterday between
Central High and Episcopal. Fleming
was injured BY being hit on the head by
pitched ball. He Was compelled to
remain in the infirma.y at Episcopal all
night.
Central was defeated by score of 16
to g. The Blue and White did not play
good ball, showing poor form in nearly
every department. Milton, who worked
the last inning in the box TO. Central,
did not allow run or a hit.
The Maryland Agricultural College la
crosse team is scheduled TO play the
Walbrook club in Baltimore today. AS
the Walbrook twelve is composed of
former college stars, the Farmers can
hardly be expected to win.
