DEFEATS WESTERN EASILY
BY n. C. BYRD.

Only one more team now stands in the
way of Central in the race for the high
school base ball Observation-Disclosures.
On the meeting of these two mines de-
pends the title. Central has proved itself
much stronger than the three other
schools, and Business is fast showing its
superiority over them also.
1t is doubtful if a high school nine in
years has evidenced the ability to win
by such consistently decisive scores that
Central has. The Blue and White won
from Tech by II to /. from Eastern by
10 to 0 and from Western, yesterday, by

are to leave 14th street and New York

The track and field meet Saturday
will end athletics for the year at Mary
land State. Only three more games are
booked in base ball. and it is not
deemed worth while to continue with
only that number. About half the team
has left college for the year in order tt
help out on the farms and only 4
patched-up nine could have been PLACED
in competition.
Excellent competition should mark
the track and field games. More mer
are entered in the open interscholastIC
events than have ever before beer
scheduled to take part, and many oi
them are exceedingly clever perform
ers. Technical High leads in the num-
ber of entrants, having sent in tn.

attribute of which few scholastic mines
can boast.
Generally superior play was responsible
tor the victory in the game with Western.
CentraPs men were much more mature
and played better base ball from every
standpoint More timely batting. excel
lent fielding and general base ball sense
were the decisive factors. Central scored
five runs in the first three innings, and
after that there was little to the contest
except the apparent question as to how
many runs Central would win by.
Jake Macdonald played brilliantly at
second base for Central and Bailey and
Gottieb felded their positions on the
slab and behind the bat like much more
experienced players. The work of Hout
at third and at bat for Western was
particularly good.
Tech and Eastern are scheduled to
meet in the high school series tomorrow.
There is no especial Importance attached
to the contest, other than the rivalry
between the two institutions. Both have
been put out of the running as far as
titular honors are concerned.
There is to be a meeting of the officials
of the Capital City Amateur League to-
night. at which plans for the opening OF

and blue, under which the graduates
marched upon entering and leaving
the church. After the exercises lawn
party was given by the class of 1918
on the school grounds to the graduates
of 1917 and 1916. The color scheme was
red, white and blue, the class colors,
as the exercises, owing to the present
condition of the country, were of pa
triotic nature.

with the average attained by each in
the final tests: Highest average, Daniel
Patrick Lyons, 9S; Martin John Cum

day afternoon on Marquand field. For
the evening patriotic celebration was
held at the Auditorium. Each delega-
ton gave their college songs and yells.
The address was by Henry Sloane COT
fin of New York. The conference is
marked by the large number of foreign
students. On Monday evening short
talks were given by five young men, one
each from China, Japan, Armenia, South
America and Canada. The latter gave
thrilling talk on university life in Can,
ada since the war. The male quartet
has been a pleasing feature of the en-
tire conference. Many of the speakers
have spoken on some subject relative to
the war. Brewer Eddy who has spent
months in Y. NJ. c. A. work with men in
the trenches and on the battle line,
spoke one evening. The conference
closed Thursday night.

FREE RIDE BY FAKER.
Boston Chauffeur Brought Stranger to
Brattleboro Thinking His Passenger
Was Detective.

A Boston chauffeur was victimized for
a long ride Sunday, according to a story
he told Police Chief George Wilson over
the telephone yesterday. He told the
chief that he was operating his auto
mobile when II well-dressed man sprang
into it and ordered him to chase car
which his passenger said had just passed.
The passenger said he was IA detective.
The chase led to Fitchburg, thence to
|Greenfed, where the passenger asked a
question of police officer, jumped into
the car again and told the chauffeur to
continue TO Brattleboro
According to the chauireur's story they
pulled up at the Brooks House in the
|evening and his passenger entered the
hotel and in a minute returned with the
information that he had to make some
inquiries at garages After waiting some
time the driver of the car made some
inquiries at garages and found no trace
of the detective" He remained here
that night and then telephoned the
chief, who knew nothing of detective
being here. The Boston man has since
returned to that city.
