battles, while Western and Eastern
took on the Chevy Chase High School
team, defeating it by q to score:
the largest count rolled up by any of
the schools this season.

Alexandria High School team by an :
10 score, Little performing well fol
the Business team. The Business play
ers outhit the Alexandrians all the way,
Culligan and r. Wise getting three hits
each.
Little appears to be the best perform
er for Business. and yesterday his WORK
was as good as usal The Business
team got in some good practice during
the week and appeared to advantage
throughout yeterday's battle.
The Army and Navy Preps trimmed
Western by 10 to in a seven inning
played we'll for the Props. Bolton'e
work in centerficld being especially note
worthy. Western worked three pitchers
and all of them were hammered by the
Prep sluggers.
Word from Port Deposit. Md. says:
The prospects of the Tome School
baseball team, that has made such a
good start. We're lessened considerably
yesterday, when Jack Vannort, the star
shortstop, dislocated his shoulder. He
tripped while turning first base on his
way, to second on one of his tWo-bsSe
drives. This is Vannort's third season
as regular shortstop, and his loss to the
team will be felt very keenly.
At short .Vannort was the life of the
infeld and while he Is out II is more
than likely that Coach Taylor will make
quite a shift in the lineup. Evans, who
has been playing second, will likely &c
to third. Jones will be put at short. and
probably Haines on second In Evans
place. This ought to make "a good
combinat ton, for Haines Is a good hitter
and is fast as lightning on the bases
This will give Tome an entirely new in
field. and will leave only two OF last
years veterans in the line-up-Weems
az center field and Baker, pitcher.
Techs win over the Chevy Chase lad
wa; vas too onessided, and the Manua
twenty-one runs. The opposition faile,
to count. Hurd. Ochsenreiter, an,
Showers were in fine form for Tech.
Tech and Western will probably hav
the use of the diamonds on the Monu
ment Lot after today. Both teams hav
suffered by having no regular place t
practice
Track candidates at several of tn
schools will be worked during tn
Easter Holidays. Central, Western
and Tech will probably hold sma
meets during the next ten days.
st. Albans baseball players are ava
for the holidays today to return Tues
