The Washington high schools will
hold to the. original ten-game base
ball series for 1915, according to the
deliberations of the faculty advisers
who today submit list of games
without the dates or decision as
to where the ten games will be
played.
Robert C. Maurer, faculty adviser
Of Central High School, is expected
to meet Manager Clark Griffith, of
the Nationals, in day or so to ar
range for the use Of the Florida ave-
nue. park, while the Nationals are
on the road during the entire month
of May.
There are nine Tuesdays and Fri
days available during May, and the
first Tuesday in June and negotia-
tions are expected to bring about the
use of the park for the schoolboys.
1t is thought that some arrangement
can be made whereby the first two
or three games may be played on
another field, and that the majority
of the title games can be played at
the big park.
The fact that the schedule was adopt
ed precludes any possibility of having
tvent games p,a! I'd this season. TIE
matter was not broached at a recent
| meeting, 1t is understood. Those who
have talked over tie proposed lengthy
series are all in favor of it. but main
tain that the expense of getting GROUNDS
ard umpires cannot be met by the
schools at present.
IT is not unlikely that the high schools
will try to get Georgetown Field for
! April q and 30. as the Blue and Gray
is playing away at Yale and Boston on
those dates. Graduate Manager Charles

The failure Of the faculty advisers to

such a schedule could be adopted.
