any previous time in his career. His
work has been of such a nature as to
earn him special commentator from
many critical quarters. He has hit
much better than usual. and there has
been little to be desired in his field
ing. Mention was made of Rockwell
a few days ago. when 1t was stated
that he was probably the most capable
all-round athlete at the Kendall Green
institution.
No captain for next years team has
as yet been selected at the Maryland
Agricultural College, and 1t Is not
probable that choice will be made
until next fall.
The Harmony Lodge team will meet the
probably will be one Of the biggest charity
ball games ever played in the District.
And it will. in all likelihood, be one of the
best games from standpoint OF cred
table play. 1t Is generally the case that
when two clubs. organized for such q
purpose, are said to be practicing they
are instead spending their time figuring
how they are ever going to last through
the contest Such is not the case In this
instance, though. as more than one hard
hour has been put in by the members OF
both mines in their attempts to get in
shape for the fray.
Some Of the best amateur ball players
in the District will be on one OF the other
Of the two teams. and several Of them
have seen great deal Of professional ex-
perience. Merrill Vaughn Of the Post Of
nee nine has played in the Southern
League, Mike Mcdonald Of last year 8
Bankers has seen time in semi-profession-
al ranks in Hagerstown, Cy Mcdonald
League. and those are not the only ones
that have had more than ordinary expe-
Renee. And anybody who does not be-
heve that Cy can still hit should get out
will more than likely be rectifed very
quickly.

planned to carry on the work as rapidly
as possible.

excellent golf course is being planned.
team composed Of members of the
Georgetown Alumni Association will meet
nine made up from the present senior
class tomorrow afternoon. Many regu-
lars Of the varsity are in the senior class,

likely fairly good game will be staged.
Gle must have pitched an exceptional
yesterday His work was about as good
as Is usually seen In a college contest.
He held the Tigers safely from start to
finish, and never was In danger of losing,
notwithstanding the slim lead his team
held. Gle allowed only two safe hits,
gave only one base on balls, and sent six
| men back to the bench by the strike-out
route. That is alright pitching for
keeps. and, as result, he probably Is
the biggest man at Yale today
1t was pointed out in this column, even
before the English polo team sailed for
America, that 1t probably would prove q
much more formidable antagonist this
year than last for the simple reason that
1t was claiming nothing. Only tales OF
misfortunes and mishaps Of various kinds
sailing Of the four for America, and that
very thing should have made the Ameri-
cans skeptical. The prevailing odds have
always been on the American side, and It
was stated at the time referred to that
It was difficult to see Just where the per-
sons offering the odds got the informa-
| ton on which to base them. The work
of the English players was not SO poor
that 10 to should have been given
against them. and about the only way
to account for 1t is that feeling of pa
| triotism must have actuated those will
| ing to risk money at such odds.
But that Is not saying that England
will be the final victor. OF course the
| winning Of the first game gives the
four representing that country big
| advantage, but the. chances are that it
will not find such easy sailing the
| next time the teams meet. There is
| hardly any doubt about the American
four being overconfdent. The period
of bewilderment. such as is said to
have apparently como oyer the Ameri-
can players, is due to oniy one Thing
ability to collect ones self after it has
| been realized that the opponent is
stronger than was expected. America
| has its laurels to defend. Those play
fore, and have fought uphill strug-
giles. They will not be dismayed be-
cause of the apparent superiority OF
| the foreign players. and will come
right back in the next game OF the
match in a way that will admit of no
slowing-up on the part Of the visiting
men If they hope to take away the
cup. The chances are the English four
will have to play better polo in the
next game barely to win than it did

These three teams appear to be the
strongest in the circuit and the chances
| are very good that one of them will wiz
the title. OF course, one Of the Other
three teams may come through with q
succession of victories. but that IL hardly
possible, as they are very much in the
rear.
Ninth has such q lead in the East
Washington Sunday School League
that there is little doubt that it will
win the championship. despite the fact
that it has been pushed considerably
lin many of its contests. There have
been those that have claimed O hard
time is in store for the Christians, but
once they get going the chances are
they will take the championship, az
they have done in recent years. In
