hence no resultant revenue to the gov
eminent. May l. therefore. suggest
that you consider and advocate the
levying OF such tax either upon the net
returns or on each admission as just
and more equitable method. as well as
one which will return the greatest
revenue to the government?
In opening his letter President Tener
said that base ball would welcome the
opportunity to do its share in providing
the necessary revenue for the govern
ment in wartime.
After calling off the first game of the

not been going well. having lost nearly
two thirds of the games it has played

TITLE SH0ULDG0
TO CENTRAL NINE
Blue and White Favored to De-
feat Business for Scholastic
Honors.
TECH VS.. EASTERN TODAY
BY II. G. BYRD.

Central should win the high school
base ball championship in its game
Friday with Business. Judged on what
the two teams have shown in their
previous contests the Blue and White
is distinctly the stronger. Scholastic
base ball is especially endowed with
unusual possibilities for the unexpect-
ed. and tomorrow's meeting may pro-
duce one of those results entirely I'M
looked for
If Central is the victor it will have
the undisputed right to the honor of
being the strongest among the five
scholastic mines. which undoubtedly it
is. Business will be conceded a victory
in its meeting with Eastern, the only
contest it will have left after the one
with Central, if it proves strong enough
to take the measure Of the Mount
Pleasant aggregation.
Centrafs team is the best balanced,
and is inherently stronger than any of
the others Its record against Tech,
Western and Eastern is exceptional,
and seldom is it that high school
team goes through it's schedule with
such decisive victories. 1t would not
either, unless it possessed the real stuff
of which good ball teams are made.
Today's game will be played between
Technical and Eastern. There is no par
'ticular Importance attached to the con-
test other than the rivalry between the
two schools. Both are out of the run
ming for the championship.
Tech and Eastern are to meet on
Georgetown Field. The game between
Central and Business will be played
Friday al American League Park. Both
start at $3.50 o'clock.
