WALSH MAY NEVER

Former Iron Man Thinks He Is

Ed Walsh will probably never again

In seven consecutive seasons. from
1905 to 1912. inclusive, Walsh figured in

Western High school will be without
the services of Eugene Stevens In to-
days game with Eastern on the Monu-
ment Lot. The Western shortstop. a
member of Company X. First Regi-
ment, Maryland national guard. is at
silver Spring. Nd. today making ready
TO 60 to Annapolis. Stevens Is a cor
poral and company clerk ana will be
unable to take part in today's game.
Western athletes have contributed
in no small measure to the District
national guard. Devere Weldon, a
member OF the football team of last
fall, Just graduated from Western, Is
in the Coast Artillery here. Edwin
at Western, is another local national
guard boy. Giblin is a corporal.
Still another Westerner. Pat OBrien
is with the local guard. oBrien was
last fall and a mainstay in baseball
and track for two years. CentraIs
baseball team is contributing Bud
Dawson, right fielder on this years
will go marching away with the local
guard to Fort Myer today.
Western will find 1t hard to get a
team goether today. Several of the
players are out OF town and Others
have made arrangements to go to work
for the summer. Eastern Is also having
its troubles mobilizing its forces. A
win for the Fasteners will make the
championship certain, a loss will neces'
state another game with Central.
At a meeting OF the faculty advisers
held at Central High School yesterday
afternoon It was decided to hold the
annual field and track games mex,

The date falls on May u, the week after
the Maryland Agriculture College meet
