President Robert H Young of the
local Amateur Base Ball Association
was in charge of yesterdays negotia-
tons and the meetingL Mr.. Young
spoke very optimistically upon the con-
clusion of the conference. giving il as
his opinion that the season was going
to be good one and expressing his
satisfaction that Baltimore had at last
satisfied Washington and Richmond
authorities sufficiently in regard TO the
rules to allow them to feel justified in
making the annual series a three-cor-
nered affair. c. NJ. King, treasurer of
the local body. and President Young
represented Washington in yesterday S
meeting.
The St Alban's squad did splendid
work in the scholastic meet at Prince
sented the local school. and they
emerged from the fray with five hrst
places and two thirds to their credit
Brewer. the star dash man, won the
100 and 22o yard dashes. taking the
former in 10 1-5 seconds and the latter
in % 2-5. Maxam was victor in the
quarter. in 81 As seconds, and the
broad jump. after a leap of II feet
put, and, Maxam was third in the 220
and Carter third in the mile. The mile

The high school track and field meet
this week will have more entries than
any of recent years. Faculty Adviser
Maurer Of Central High. who is han
ding the managerial end of the games
yesterday said he was certain there
would be a much larger list than usual
He said that the names of all the boys
who will compete are in his hands, and
usual. The various entries have yet 10
be classified.
Technical High and Central will have
the largest squads, and between these
two schools is expected the fight for
first honors. Tech and Central are both
strong in certain events and somewhat
weak in others. Central seems TO have
considerable advantage in the dashes
100, 220 and 440. and the Tech men are
more capable in the half mile and mile
II Tech can land a couple OF second
places in the dashes il will stand a faiI
chance to beat out the Blue and White
but IL seems unlikely that the Manua
Trainers can get first in either the
100, 220 and 440. as Milstead is fas,
enough to win all three. Much of the
showing Of the teams in the meet viii
depend upon what they do in the fielc
events. None Of the schools seems &c
have a man capable in the shotput
as Flaherty of Eastern. Just how much
Western, Business and Eastern will cu
into the points is not known, and some
unexpected winners in either Of those
schools may completely upset the cal
culations of those who are figuring
hard on the probable distribution oi
points
The meet Is 10 be held the Mary
land Agricultural College track next
Saturday and probably will begin at
