the opening inning, Technical was I'M
able to win from Central The Blue
and White came across in the eighth
with three runs. which proved sutfi
cient, with the two it had previously
! made, to give it the long end of a 5-to-3
count Hrd pitched brilliant ball for
Tech and it was hardly his fault that
the opposing nine scored three times in
the eighth inning. Hird famed ten
men and had his offerings driven into
safe territory only four times Tech

Catholic University has one Of the
best college pitchers in the east in Ken
drick. His work all through the season
has been brilliant. and the exhibition
given yesterday against the Maryland

ing lot of stuff, but he is possessed of
fine control and more sense than three

The Brooklanders won from NJ. A. c.
yesterday, very deservedly. on the
strength of Hendricks pitching, and
because Mess threw very poorly to
bases and Derrick was wild. Also

Harrington at second and of White al
shortstop were the features for c. L.

for NJ. A. c. and knode played well at
shortstop.

outfield position for G. L.. was not in
the game yesterday. He has been laid
up for some time with boils, for which

Rooney. former Technical high play
er, bids fair to become something of a
star for c. L. Rooney held down an
outfeld position for Tech. but is being
used at third at Catholic University.
He is fielding well, hitting the ball
and showing general base ball apti-
tude. Charley Moran coach, speaks
very highly of Rooneys prospects as
