While there will be no champion
ship high school baseball game this
week the aspiring schoolboy teams
will have plenty to do judging from
the games booked by the managers.
Tech and Western are playing to-
day, the former tackling the strong
Strayer's Business College team on
the Monument Lot and the latter
journeying to Georgetown to play
with the G. U. Freshmen.
Tomorrow St. Albans plays Alex
andria High School here, Tech
tackles the strong Lincoln Athletic
Club, which has beaten the high
school teams it has met so far, while
Central plays the Georgetown Fresh
men. A line can be gotten on the
strength of the Western and Central
teams as both play the Freshmen
within twenty-four hours.
Central goes right back into a game
Wednesday and plays Strayers, and
from indications will have all it is look
ing for to beat the business aSgreSa-
ton. Wednesday will find the George
town Props and Gonzaga battling 1t out
for the Prep championship on George
town Field.
The Army and Navy Preps get action
with Strayers on Thursday. while
Strayers goes to Alexandria High School
on Friday. Tech will play the Cardinal
A. C. Saturday, while Eastern Is meet
ing the A. n. P. team.
Central High School took occasion TO
honor its winning athletes at the school
today. Speeches were made by those
prominent in athletics at the school.
Central hopes to win the baseball cham
pionship after disposing of Tech on
Friday. and looks for veritabie tri-
umph in the track meets this spring.
Central will enter. the largest list Of
athletes ever put out by the school in
the Maryland Aggies' meet on Saturday
at College Park, and from indications
the Central athletes stand fine chance
to win. 1t may be remembered that last
years scholastic meet was as close as
l5le points, St. Adams, Central, Tech.
and Tome were but a half point or
point behind, and 1t was anyone's meet
until the last event.
This year the Aggies will probably
outdo their efforts OF last season in
the big affair.
Gold silver and bronze medals are
to be given for first. second, and third
places; they will be in the nature of
watch fobs. the same as last spring.
Large plaques will be the team trophies,
and gold watches will be awarded to
the individuals scoring the most points
in the intercollegiate. open interscho-
lastic, and county school events.
ARRANGEMENTS are being made to en-
tertain the athletes and those connect
ed with the various schools represented
the newspaper men, and officials at the
college at lunch and dinner. No entry
fees are being charged, and there will
be no charge for admission on the day
. of the meet -
Philadelphia papers said the cham
pioaship high school race was dsap-
pointing. Here in Washington we have
an idea that travelling a mile in quar-
ters at the rate o. 30 As seconds per
quarter is pretty fair for seventeen and
eighteen wear old boys. Smiths 40 As
in the McrCershurg relay was excep-
tional as much so as that of Meredith
three years ago. Central's time was
good enough to take the championship
OF all the high schools IN the country,
which is big enough honor for Wash
ington. even cons 'dciing that none of
the four teams sent from this city fin-
ithed worse than second. When it Is
considered that Washington won three
frsts and a second in the relays, and
that two teams finished one and two in
the same race, there is every reason to
feel BIZ set uD.
