Central High will send two teams
and Technical High one to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania relay games
Saturday One of the Blue and White
fours is to compete for the high school
championship of America and the other
In class l against some of the best high
school quartets in the east. Tech is to
run in class against several of the
big schools of Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and New York.
Besides Nash and Latta. Centrafs
star middle distance runners. Mclean
and Connor. will take the track in the
championship event. Bill Foley. coach
of the squad. probably will use Connor
to start, Mclean second, Nash third. and
leave Latta to do the anchor work
)Swaine. who has run one or two races
with the first team indoors; Stein, Ger
ry and Holden will be the four MEM
bers of the second quartet. Techs
two best men are Mcnamara and Shee-
han, and they will run third and last
respectively. Gross and Ryan are to
hold the other two positions.
=. Central and Tech each has a gooo
chance to win it's race. Centrafs
second four probably will be in class
a little too fast for it, but after the
finish of the championship event the
quartet which beats Latta. Nash, Nc
Lean and Connor will have to travei,
and travel fast. If Mcnamara and Shee-
han start within ten or fifteen yards
of the leaders in their race. Tech should
emerge the victor. Foley shows no
hesitation in saying that the Iour ne
has at Central is one of the best ever
turned out at the school. which is CIV
ing quite a little latitude. as Central
has been represented by many fast
auartets. Tech is more of doubtful
proposition, but two of its runners are
brilliant.
Western trailed along behind Busi-
ness yesterday in the third game or tne
high school base ball series, apparently
outclassed hopelessly, but in the final
inning made things hum to such an ex-
tent that it was near to tie. western
scored scored seven runs in that maj
period. but even that number was not
sufficient to bring its total up to that or
BUSINESS At the finish of the struggle
the count stood IA to Il.
The game was the most poorly played
of the series SO far. The Red ana
White went to pieces in comparison
10 what 1t did against Eastern. while
Business many runs were scored more
because of Westerns mistakes than lot
any other reason. Both teams did lot
of hitting and the pitchers were wild.
Also a lot of errors of all kinds were
, perpetrated. Business connected Tor
thirteen safeties and Western Tor eleV,
en-. O'Brien got three Tor western, ana
Wise and Gerardi led Business with
four each. Several of the wallops
went for extra bases. Gerard played
. excellent ball at short for business.
and Hout at third did about the best
all-round work for Western.
1t Is expected that three western re-
Law teams will win the collegiate cham
pionship races at Pennsylvania Satur-
dav. The University of Illinois is said
TO have a quartet capable of coming
near the worlds record. Last week
II did the mile in fraction over 81,
which probably is somewhat better
than any four against which 1t is TO
run could have done at that time.
Notre Dame is reported TO possess a
fine two-mile team, and the University
OF Chicago has entered a mile quartet
which is faster than any aggregation
of unilers that could be produced by
any other university with the excep-
ton of Cornell.
The base ball team representing Fort
Washington is anxious TO arrange
