lima team took the lead in the first in
ming and held it throughout the contest.
The Brooklanders did not score until the
ninth, when they got two runs.
johnson pitched creditable ball for the
Brookland team. but he was hardly as
effective as Jaynes, who worked for the
visitors. johnson might have gotten
away with his game, though. had there
not been errors at critical moments. He
allowed the same number Of hits that
did Jaynes.
Cathedral School defeated the Friends
School nine yesterday easily by Is to 8.
the average of the scholastic mines
around here. its pitching. hitting and
general play being highly commented
upon. Holmes pitched a nice game for
the EpiscopaHans. allowing. six hits ard
the bat. getting four hits out Of FIVE
times UP.
Cathedral has been showing good form
of late and much of its success is due
director at the school. Green has the
knack of handling youngsters well, and
nearly always gets the best out Of them.
WITH less Competent man in charge it
Is not likely that the nine would make
as good a showing as 1t is doing.
It. is possible that the Commissioners
the nine that represented the District
building some years ago in the Depart
mental League, will be a member of that
under the MANAGEMENT Of Bill Handiboe,
who is trying to effect its reorganiza-
ton.
The Central High track and field team
Will complete in dual set Of games at
Brook!and this afternoon with the
Freshmen of Catholic University. The
competition is expected to furnish good
practise for the high school boys.
A lacrosse game, base ball game and
track meet have been called off at NJ.
A. G. tomorrow as a result of an inspec-
ton of the battalion of cadets ordered
by the United States government. The
consisting of all military maneuvers and
mimic battle. which will not leave time
for any athletic event.
In a practice game between Technical
High and NJ A. c. YESTERDAY the col
ers. who pitched for Tech. did some very
good work. Levin, substitute, who
played in Shipley's place at third, per-
formed well at that base and got two
hits.
If Showers can pitch as we'll in the
high school series as he did against NJ.
A. c.. and his team gives him any kind
of support, there is not much doubt about
Tech Being able to win the championship.
AS Showers worked yesterday he would
be invincible against any scholastic nine
in this part Of the country.
Harvard and Georgetown will meet in
their second contest today. 1t is expected
that another close game will result. Ty-
son will do the pitching for Georgetown,
and he is not likely to be hit hard.
Whether or not Harvard has a very good
man to send back on the mound today is
question. 1t would seem that the Grim
son has no hurler as clever as Hitchcock,
who has beaten Catholic University and
Georgetown within three days. else it
would have given its star an extra day s
rest. which would have let him pitch to-
day instead of yesterday. If Harvard
had not been anxious to get away with
the first victory, it would not have worked
Hitchcock twice in succession. and with
only one days rest between. That seems
to be evidence that the Hilltoppers will
not have to face pitching today as good
as that they were against yesterday.
Glass. who pitched yesterday for the
Marines against the Treasury team in
the Treasury League struck out thirteen
men and vet lost his game The Treas
ury won by 4 to 0. Downey, who worked

This is the third contest in the Treas
ury League this season, and all have been
exceptionally we'll played. -
1t is reported that Glass, the Marines
pitcher, has signed with the New York
Giants
