Technical High School is at Port
Deposit, Md, today playing the
Tome Institute and will more than
have it's hands full If it can get
away with the victorious Maryland
ers. So far this season Tome has
lost but two games, those to the
Penn Freshmen and the Episcopal
High School.
Eastern High dropped a to 0|
game to Tome and St. Albans was
defeated in the first game of the
season by Is to here. Central's
game on April was called off on
account of snow.
In Baker, the Port Deposit lads
have a pitcher capable of standing
the Tech players on their heads. At
the same time Hird or Showers
should be unusually effective against
the Tome players. Many Of Tones
best athletes will be at the Prince
ton interscfolastic games tomorrow,
but this should in no way detract
frsm the exhibition given the home
stayers.
Tech got off this morning on the early
train. Coach Colliflower and Leonard
Brown. the Tech baseball adviser, took
charge Of the boys. The party was made
up of Roberts, Ochsenreiter, Showers,
Eisman. Rooney, Pfeifrer, Flood, Devl,n,
Hird, and Mccarthy.
The next performance of the Tech
boys win be on Friday. when Western
10 met. On Wednesday Business and
Central are scheduled to play In tho
last but one of the present series.
Grade school activities interfered with
the scheduled game between Eastern
and Western yesterday, and the teams
are playing today. The annual May fes-
tival Of the graded schools was post
pcned from Thursday. until yesterday
on account of rain. Neither George
town. Catholic University. or Gallaudet
fields were available, and SO the con-
test was set for today.
"Untz" Brewer and Crawl" Carter
are at Princeton today to run in
the annual Princeton interscholastio
games. Brewer will be UP against no
faster runners than he was last Satur-
urday. Hornsby. of Tome, and Smith.
of Mercersberg, probably will be the
class of the meet in the dashes, and as
Brewer has taken their measure before,
he should have no difficulty in landing
first in the 100 and 220 There Is
chance that the St. Alban sprinter may
again equal the century mark II the 60
ing Is to his liking.
Carter may be depended upon to hold
his own in the mile and two miles. The
distance runner has been going In fine
form this week. and can be expected to
land we'll up to the front.
A week from today the annual spring
meet will be held. At present Central
is the odds-on favorite, with both Tech
tral hustle all the way for win. The
officials for the meet probably will be
selected at a meeting today.
The Army and Navy Props will meet
the Georgetown Props on the Hilltop
Field on Monday afternoon in the Anal
contest for the Prep School title. Yes
terday the Georgetown youngsters took
an to beating from the Army and
Navy Prep team, Franzen served them
up for the Army lads and was never
behind in the count. Corbett pitched
for the Georgetown Props. The
Georgetown lads won a to 3 argument
earlier in the season.
Not since the high schools have been
playing as A five school circuit has such
a close series been seen. At present
three teams are tied for first place,
and half the series of ten games is
we'll over. But two more contests re-
main to be played and win or loss
for any of the four teams competing
will make the championship a draw
and necessitato another game.
Not only is the series close, but the
teams are evenly matched Central,
Tech and Business are we'll balanced
combinations. while Western is thought
good enough to he able to win out over
any OF them. Eastern has proved to
be weaker In fielding. but this was
chiefly because a wholesale f1unking
took place in the last advisory.
Time may find the schools In possess
sion of a PLAYING field where the games
could be PLAYED without always leaning
on the community to help out In the
matter OF lending grounds for the con-
tests. Today the faculty advisers are
uncertain as to where the annual field
and track games will he held and It IA
the annual trouble which comes from
having no place to play athletic con-
tests.
