II is going to be a merry fight between
Stearns of Western and Dean of Eastern
as to which will get the honors of all
high shortstop this spring These two
boys are the hest inficlders in the series
and they are holding corresponding posi-
tions. Much will depend on the hitting
done ny each. Stc3rns is splendid field
or and fair hitter. Dean is a good hit
ter and also fielder above the average.
It is a safe bet that one or the other
~ these youngsters will be holding down
bshortstop of the majority of all-high
mines. 1t will be interesting to note the
conflicting opinions, or unaninlity of opin-
ion, whichever the case may be. of those
who make the selections.
| If Brewer of the National Cathedral
School runs as well outdoors as he did
| on the indoor tracks last winter he will
| make the other scholastic performers
| hustle to finish in front of him in the
games to be held at the Maryland Agri-
| cultural College Saturday. Coach Green
makes no ado about the opinion that
: Brewer will win the dash events II he
runs in his true form.
In connection with this ii might be mon
toned that there is one thing which the
M. A. G. meet has done in past years,
and will probably do again this spring
give a good line on the probable winner
! in the high school meet. Last spring
the first defeat of Central for many years
was prcsag ged when it was tied by West
ern at NJ A. C.. both schools getting
twenty-onc points. This season Teen Is
expected to figure more prominently
than usual in the events. as many reports
Of the prowess of its performers have
been given out. and something of its
true strength will he known after 1t has
pitted its resources against those of The
best scholastic athletes IN Maryland aud
the District. For the first time in a long
while Eastern will have a goodly repre-
sentatiou III the intcrhigh school games,
and something OF the callber of the ma :
terial by which it will be represented will
also be determined by the result of ITS
accomplishments at College Park.
Gallaudet will play 'Fordham in foot
ball next fall. 1t was stated last night
by Capt F'oltz that contracts had been
in New York october ;.
The performances OF Goeitz of the
keewatin School of Wisconsin in the
Washington and Lee interscholastic
games yesterday was truly wonderful.
He scored five firsts and one second.
That a man should be able to accomplish
that in one set of games in the same
afternoon against competition of any
thing like equality is something to be
wondered at. Goelitz must have been
much above the average of the other COM
petitors, else he would not have accom-
plished such a noteworthy feat In a
meet in which man were competing
against men in the same class with him
such thing would be well-nigh impossi-
BILE.
What Western High lacks most now in
base ball is competent catcher. The
Red and White nine has Nichols behind
the bat and he is very inexperienced
He has been pitching in previous seasons
and for a man who has never been back
of the plate to go behind it and do any
thing much is something that cannot be
expected, especially when he has been
pitching previously. Western undoubted-
ly misses Lehman, and 1t will take
couple of years before it will develop
man as capable as he was. 1t took three
years to make a pretty fair receiver out
of him.
