Catholic University and Maryland
State end their base ball seasons
this week; Each team plays two
games: The former goes to An

College Park to test its strength
with tho State team for the second
time. The Marylanders are booked

Catholic University Is very anxious
to beat the Navy. The Brooklanders
have had 1t nip and tuck with the

Central High. School has challenged
Technical High for q, dual track and
field meet, the event to be hold next
Saturday. The Blue and White rec
have a mighty competent squad and
wants to measure strength with
them. A dual meet between tho in
stftutions would be exceedingly pop
ular and might as well begin this
following. Annual competitions be-
tween Tech and Central are sure to
become the most important Of the
year in which local scholastic insti-
tutions figure.
Last Saturdays performances on
the track proved that Tech has pos
sibly better than an even chance
against Central on the track and
almost an even chance In the feld
competitions: central aad has no man IN
20 4-6 seconds. In fact. the times
made by Technical runners in every
distance from the century dash to
the mile indicate as much strength
squads in this section. It is to be
hoped that Tech will accept Centrars
challenge.

GAME ITSELF A GEM.

Tho game itself was a gem. and al
though it required nearly three hours
for completion it is safe to say that not
moro than score Of persons LETT the in
closure before they had seen Clyde Milan
produce the hit that flttingly accorded
Doc Ayers the distinction Of scoring the
only run Of the battle in the twelfth
inning.
It was the fourth time in i've days the
Griffmen have had to struggle overtime
with an adversary to reach a decision.
Tho first Of these marathon contests was
last Wednesday,, when Johnson was re-
turned victor over Claude Williams Of

innings the Nationals have played in

Doc Ayers twirled q superb brand
Of ball and completely confounded
those few Of the fans who greeted
the announcement he was to pitch
with the well-known Take him out"
johnson would have worked had he
been in shape. but he caught cold fol-
lowing his recent eighteen inning
tussle and showed in his warm-up
that he was weak and had nothing.
Walter hardly could have put I'D q
better performance had he been fit
than that shown by the doctor, how
ever. The Indians obtained only one
hit on him in the first six innings
and got only seven bingles all told.
A fine young collection Of misplays

constantly in hot water. however, and
with the two passes he issued and

were left stranded on the bases. The

Chapman was q close second with

caused by the hardness and lumpy
condition Of the diamond due to lack

that OF Ayers. Tho Indians punched

The spectators included Admiral
Palmer Of the British navy, Capt. Will
John Redmond, and many Londoners
who saw the American game for the
first time.
The American rooters were so excited
in the ninth inning, with the score tie.
that three airplanes sailed over the field
almost unnoticed. The grandstand was
colorful, with the women's dresses, the
American and British khaki, and the
various shades Of the blue worn by the
Americans and British sailors. 1t was
ideal base ball weather. and many fans
were without their coats for the first
time this spring.
When the Americans stretched" after
the seventh inning. the police, attracted
by the unusual scene, started an inves-
tigation.
The rooters called the Navy team the
depth bomb shooters and the Army
was known as the grenade throwers.' -
The Londoners were much amused by
the American base ball slang.
A league has been organized with
three Army and one Navy teams. from
the American forces and four Canadian
teams from the London headquarters.
The attendance was about 1000.

The huge crowd was good natured
and well hammered, not a single dis
orderly incident occurring to mar the
occasion. An odd angle was that the
cheapest seats-in the bleachers-
were less than one-third filled. There
were two small bare patches in the
upper tier of the grandstand and in
the far corner of the third base
pavilion: otherwise the plant was tax
ed to its capacity. Ropes had been
stretched in the outfeld to accommo-
date an overflow, but they were re-
moved when found unnecessary.
The throng was a representative
one, including number Of senators
and representatives. as well as high
officials of both the federal and Dis
trict governments and persons promi-
nent in the business and social life
