MAY FORM A NEW
GOVERNMENT LEAGUE

Washington may have a big anna
teur baseball league this summer.
IL the present plans of a number
of government employees are car
ried out.
With the coming Of so many ad-
ditional workers in the many gov-
ernment departments, many new
ball players have arrived here. and
a league. composed of government
employees could be started TO take
the place of the old government
league. Diamonds could be located
on the Monument as well as the
Ellipse. and as many as four games
an evening could be staged.
Several baseball fans. interested
in the league, will probably get to-
gether in the near future, when
something will be started.

one more peg nearer clinching the
interscholastic basketball title yes
terday by administering defeat to
the Business quint by a count Of 10
10 n. The game was the first OF a
twin bin staged in the Y. NJ. c. A.
gym and was one Of the hardest
fought that has been witnessed this
season. Both Capts. Towbes and
Jay Long. of the opposing clubs
were excused from the fray because
of personal fouls.

up on even terms with the Western
tossers by taking the Georgetown out
fit into camp in the nightcap by a
count of 13 to II. This game was
a thriller from start to finish, but
the Capitol Hill quint led over most
OF the distance.

SCHOLASTIC NOTES.

That Tech has felt the loss of Tabb.
Catiin and Schneider, members OF last
years championship team, is shown by
their standing in the Scholastic
League. Tabb has gone to Newark. N.
J., while Schneider and Catlin have
accepted positions in this city. Catlin
is now playing with the Boys "f
team.
Degnan, forward of the Epiphany
team, is coming through in great style.
Tommy is not only a good basketball
player, but he also excels in football
and baseball. He caught behind the
bat for the Truxton team last year and
played fullback on the Truxton eleven
last fall.
Fate holds great things in store for
Gosnell, Techs diminutve forward.
He has Just entered High School and
with a little more experience he will
certainly boost Techs chances.
Willie Thomas still leads the Scho-
lastic tossers in points scored. Despite
Thomas smallness he ~ an aggressive
player. He is all over .he floor in any
game he plays. and is an excellent
shot. His playing Is what keeps East
ern in the rsnning.
Mark De Grange. who is now COACH
ing st. Adams team, has -ecently re-
turned from Pennsylvania. De Grange
knows basket ball from a to z. He
has developed such players as Tabb,
Catlin. Martin and Schneider. who
later have starred in high school cir
cles.
Wilson, Centrars center. is the best
jump-off man in the high schools. He
plays a hard, clean game and is the
pivot of all Centrars plays. He is in
the game from the start and always
on the move.
Sinclair, Westerns guard, is one of
the cleverest floor men in the high
schools. His dribbling starts from one
end of the floor and ends at the other
end. He is very seldom halted before
he reaches his end of the fioor.i
