One Of the best track and field meets
ever held by the local high schools is
scheduled for tomorrow While the indi-
cations are that Central will win the
games. some of the best performances in
years are expected. In many of the events
splendid competition may be looked for,
and it is not likely that any of the first
places will be a walkaway for anybody.
II there are two events in which it
appears that Central has it on the other
contestants. they are the dashes. The
Blue and White supporters are confident
that Milstead is going to take first place
in both these races. provided he gets
an even break in the start and is hindered
in no other way. Milstead should finish
first in the 100 and go. though he is apt
to be pushed in both. E. HardelI of Tech
and Donaldson and Maxim of Western
schools who stand any chance against
him.
The 40 is expected to be a wonderfully
well run affair. with Bowling Of Central,
Maxim of Western and r. Hardel of
Tech as the main contenders. All these
youngsters have already done brilliant
race well worth seeing HardeI went
around the track at NJ A. c. in little
less than 81 seconds in the meet held
several weeks ago, and if either of the
two other youngsters can beat him one
OF the fastest quarters ever done by
scholastic performer in this section will
have to be run.
Sheehan of Technical is picked to win
the $50, though Galloway and Norris of
Central are mighty good men and are
q vnf tn mol Ia h H. ;rl, ~,
front. Galloway. especially. may spring
a surprise in this event. Norris is said
to be a good runner, but ineXperience is
his great failing. These men will also
face one another In the mile. Galloway
has been considered as having almost
certain win at that distance. but Sheehan
may upset some calculations He has
not had the experience of Galloway. but
anybody who can run a half as fast as
he did recently in open competition is
sure to be a formidable opponent in
mile race.
Provided he runs up to his usual form.
Donaldson of Western should win the
hurdles. His work indoors and outdoors
this year in the event has been above
the average of that of any other man
in the schools. Oyster of Central should
be his most dangerous opponent.
Speidell of Central, provided he per-
forms up to the standard claimed for
him, should WIN the high jump and pole
vault. 1t is said that he has gone eleven
feet in the vault and has been doing bet
ter than anything accomplished by rep
resentatives of the other institutions in
the high jump. Tyler. who won the vault
to compete and neither will Rose, who
split the birthplace point which gave
Western the trophy.
Supplee OF Technical is fairly sure to
win the shotput with probably another
Tech lad in second or third place. The
broad jump will be almost a toss-up, but
the chances are that Central will score
heavily in that.
One Of the most interesting competitions
OF the day will be the relay race. Cen
trail is most likely to win. as it has
better-rounded aggregation Of quarter
milers.
Or course, it may be that some dark
horses" will be sprung, because there are
several boys who have not yet been in
meets this spring. and some of the schools
do not have in competition several of the
lads who have done excellent work for
them previously. Central seems to have
the best chance to win the team trophy.
It appears to have a more well rounded
squad than the others, and it is almost
sure to be represented to a greater ex-
! tent among the seconds and thirds than
any Of the other institutions.
The list of officials has not yet been
fully decided upon, but Prof. Richardson
Of the Maryland Agricultural College has
been asked to referee.
Another tie game was played in the De-
partmenta1 League yesterday. Agricul-
ture and Commissioners going to . to
tie Some of the other contests in the
amateur circuits afforded keen competi-
ton, while others were won easily. Sher-
wood defeated Kenilworth in the Central
League by to 1; Fairlawn won from
Steel Plant by IL to in the Potomac or
ganization: Brightwood was victorious
over st. Paul, to 4. in the Northwest
Sunday School circuit; Fifth handed st.

Sunday School body, by IL to 8; st. Mar
tins got away with it's game in the Mar
quette League from the Emeralds by
one-run margin, to q; the Treasury
team was victor in the Departmental by
to 1. while the Iroquois defeated the CO.
lumbias by II to 5, on the Rosedale play
grounds The contest in the Railroad Y.
NJ c. A. League went to Union Station
by forfeit, Car Department not having
nine men on the field.
That game in the East Washington
Sunday School League was a regular Old
time smuggling bee. Fifth won IN the
! total of twenty -one hits. At least three
runs were scored in every inning but
two. st. Agnes hit the ball hard enough
to win ordinarily, but IT could not over
come such batting was done by the
Fifth players Havener and Skidmore
| led the winners at bat. the first mention
ed getting four hits out of six times up
| and the latter four out of five.
| One of the poorest played games OF the
year In the Department League was evil

| and Commissioners Agriculture made
| ten errors and the Commissioners were
| only two behind in that respect. The
general play of the two teams was much
below the standard. Ward at third and
Bailey at Second for Agriculture did

Cullen played good ball at third base
for the Columbus. He accepted seven
