Technical and Business are to meet to-
day in the most important contest yet
played In the race for the high school
base ball championship. The former
must win in order to stay In the run
ming for the honor. while the latter is
fairly sure to land the title If 1t fin
ishes with the long end of the score.
Business Is leading at present with two
victories and no defeats, and Technical
is tied for third with Western with one
win and one loss charged against 1t.
Central Is second with two victories
and one defeat, and If Tech is fortunate
enough to beat the Stenogra piers there
will be a hree-cornered tie for first
place.
Judging by the way in which Blum
don has been working on the slab for
Business. both teams are likely to get
good pitching. Hird and Showers of
Technical have been doing well. and
have not failed to hold up their end in
each of the two contests played by the
Manual Trainers. If Blundon works as
well as he did against Western and
Eastern a mighty close and hardfought
game ought to result
Judged man for man. Technical seems
to have something on the Business
nine. Comparisons Of this kind, though
seldom show anything, and a prediction
as to the probable result would be just
as likely to be incorrect as not. Every
thing indicates that one of the closest
and most interesting battles of the Sc
ries will be played

Georgetown has a contest booked with

the one in which Georgetown figures

the Navy are pretty apt to figure in a
hard-fought battle, while the Maryland

PLAY IN TENNIS TOURNEY
AT CHEVY CHASE RESUMED
Connie" and "Rol'' Doyle Easy Winners,
But Should Find Hard Battles in the
Pairings This Afternoon

Sunshine and a good, stiff breeze from
the west dried up the courts of the
Chevy Chase Club sufficiently yester-
day afternoon to allow the annual ten
mis- tourney to continue after being
blocked by rain Sunday and yesterday
morning. The card was good one and
Notwithstanding that rain threatened
and a decided chill was in the air. the
gallery was quite large. especially
around the first court when the big
matches were on.
The best battle of the afternoon was
that between Gore and Brown, three
sets being required to bring about a
decision, the former winning out by the
scores of 81, 6-4 and 6-4 Brown
was the first to catch his form and
after a ding-dong struggle captured
the initial set When the second set
started il was noticed that Gore had
reached his stride. but Brown held on
tenaciously and it required exceptional
tennis to land the victory. The third
and deciding set was much on the order
of the second, both players making
pretty shots and recoveries, the smash
ings of Gore finally getting the best
of Browns speed for win.
Connie" Doyle is right on edge just
now and the way he romped away from
Moorehead in the fourth round of the
mems singles made the gallery wish
for the presence of several out-of- town
stars to go against the local crack. In
this same round Bundy also had an
easy time defeating Gates.
The mems doubles were carried into
the second round, the Doyle brothers

ST. LOUIS, May 1s.-The Nationals

force-out, wild pitch and an error,
and the run which won the game came
in the eighth. when Milan, who had
forced Connolly, stole second and came
home when Gandil dropped a Texas
Lacquer into left.
Hits by the two teams were about
even. but the battery errors of the
Browns were costly; otherwise there
would have been a different story to
tell. for the Browns hitting was more
productive than that of the visitors.
Has One Bad Inning.
Johnson pitched good game of ball,
but had one poor inning-the eighth
when the Browns scored a run on three
hits and had second and third occu-
pied with two out. Walter got out of
this hole. but the situation was tick
lish.
In the opening of the ninth Shotten
got scratch hit to the inf1eld which
johnson threw poorly to first and Shot
ten went to third. But johnson had
no trouble retiring Austin and Pratt
after hitting Kaufman: Morgan and
Gandil took care of Walker

third His three other trips to the
plate brought him clean drives. Con-
| molly. of course. still has much to learn
about the game, but he has a lot OF
natural ability and in time ought to
develop into a player of class. He
made serious mistake in the eighth
inning, when he picked up Leary's hit
in left field and heaved it home He
had no chance to get the man at the
plate and only made it possible for the
two runners on the sacks to move up a
base. to second and third. and putting
the game in jeopardy, for base hit at
that stage would have given the
Browns two more runs and the game.
But Connolly will gain experience In
fielding and Griffith will continue to
play him. because he has shown indi-
cations of being natural hitter.
It is nothing short of astounding that
such good hitters as Morgan and Gan
dill, and even Foster. have been should
have such a prolonged slump as they
are encountering this spring. Foster
hit mighty well for a while, but he
seems to have fallen in rut. too,
while Gandil and Morgan continue to
go poorly with the stick. On days they
are hitting the ball hard it seems to be
their misfortune to have their efforts
go straight at one of the waiting
fielders.
This continuation of poor batting has
Griffith scratching his head. He still
believes that better times are coming
for his team, but he does not deny that
it is taking longer than he expected
He consults the batting averages, and
then declares he knows his team car
hit whole lot better than it has and
predicts that it is only a question OF
time.
George Mcbride was directly respon-
sible for the run the Nationals got in
the fourth. when the third strike on
Ainsmith got away from Severoid The
ball hit the catcher's glove and rolled
about ten feet away toward first base
The big catcher had no idea where ii
| had rolled. and Mcbride, who was
standing near the plate awaiting his
turn at bat. pointed in the opposite di-
rection and Severoid fell for it, and be-
fore he discovered his mistake Ain
smith was sitting on second base. The
crowd ttrnbled to what had been pulled
off on the Browns and gave Severoid a
good kidding.
Howard Shanks was sent to left field
in the ninth in Connolly's place This
was precautionary proceeding, for
there Is no doubt that Shanks is Con- =
nolly's superior as a fielder. and Griff
did not want to take any chances of
losing the game by any incompetency
in the handling of fly ball.

ST. LOUIS. May 1s.-Bert Gallia will
most likely be Griffith's selection to

vided rain does not prevent the game,
In fact, it is Gallia's turn to pitch. II
Griffith lives up to his avowed inten-
tion to work his four pitchers. John

any of the others get a chance to cut
into the game. for a while at least.
So far as the Browns are concerned.
they exhausted. according to re-
port. their successful pitchers when
they used Weilman and Loudermilk in
the two games with the visitors. and
today the picking should not be so
difficult for the Griffmen. But just
what kind of pitching will have to be
shown for the Nationals to look good
with the bat remains to be seen. for
there has not yet been any indication
of the Washington athletes recovering g
their batting eyes. 1t may happen any
day now, however.
The fact remains that the Nationals
were rather lucky to win yesterday.
But for battery errors the Browns
probably would have won by the same
score Sunday, for two runs which
the Nationals obtained were the direct
result of the sort of misplays which do
not appear in the box scores as errors.
In the third. for instance, Moeller start
ed off with hit, and Fosters out put
him on second. Connolly hit the ball
well. but Lavan got it to Austin at
third in time TO nail Moeller there. Mi
Ian drew pass and Loudermilks poor
throw to catch Connolly off second
placed him on third. from where he
scored on wild pitch.
A passed ball on the third strike on
Ainsnith in the very next inning al
lowed him to reach second. and after
stealing third he scored when Mcbride
singled. Gandil.s single drove in the
other run in the eighth.
Walter Johnson pitched In his usual
form, and yet he was lucky to win be-
cause of the scarcity of productive base
hits by his teammates. He struck out
seven of the Browns and issued but one
base on balls, though he hit two men.
He had good speed and displayed real
Judgment in his work.
For the first time since Connolly has
been playing with the Nationals he
got more than one hit yesterday, being
credited with three. and he would have
had four had not Moeller been on sec
ond in the third when he hit high
bounder to Lavan's right, which he
