HIGH SCHOOLS END
BASE BALL TODAY
Central and Business Play
Final Game-AthIetics
in Grade Schools.

Our defnition Of dutys The
spirit which forces 4 man to
smile as he watches his only
son leave for France.

High school base ball for 1918 comes
to close today. Central and Business
finish up the schedule with a game on
Georgetown Field at o'clock. The
contest will have no bearing on the
ch hampionship, Central having won
that and Business being hopelessly
out of the running.
In all probability Coach Metzler Of
Central will give several of his sec
ond string men an opportunity to get
in the game. Business is not expected
to afford a whole lot OF opposition to
the Blue and White. It might be
wise. though, to follow that sentence
with the statement usual in such
cases. But. of course. anything is
possible in scholastic base BALL"
