From First Base Right FedRace Opening Big Success
BOB .THAYER'S GOSSIP
ON SPORTING MATTERS

Charlie Moran's Catholic University
baseball team faces a good one on the
Brookland field today, when Amherst
College arrives. The Massachusetts
lads have been campaigning at the
university the better part of a week
and are about right for a good battle.
Moran has hardly had time to get his
team settled. From Indications the
team Is going to be one of the best
that has ever represented the school.
High school pitchers, with one or
two exceptions. have failed to show
much this year. When IL is taken
into consideration that Eddie TomIin,
OF Eastern, Dutch Peck, and Lester
Peine, of Western; Carl wassman, of
Business, and DENLY Hird, of Tech, all
went out with the June class last yea,
there is no trouble locating the dif.
hculty In the high schools at least. It
is seldom that such pitching talent
gets away in one year. Central is, in
deed, fortunate in having Schafer and
Gottlleb, two most dependable hurlers.
Chevy Chase will have the hrst
scheduled tennis tournament under
the auspices OF the N. L T. A. this
year and there is strong likelihood
OF calling of the event following the
wish laid down by the N. L. T. A. of.
ficers that all tournaments be can
celed should war be declared. Ac-
tion must be taken by the New York
body and then the clubs all over the
country will fall in line.
