Corporal punishment Is visited upon
the pro-Gcrmans among the Belgian

wrath Of the Belgian avengers. They

Such cases as these have been re-

Belgium has remained wonderfully
loyal. BY their system Of communal
administration, they were enabled to
govern themselves while the German

TOEvEN UP GAMES
WITH CITY YOUTHS

There viii be a little more than a
baseball game tomorrow afternoon
In Baltimore when Central High
School plays the City College team at
Roland Park.
Last fall Central hung q defeat on
the City College lads on the gridiron-
In basketball the City College lads
came over here and defeated Cen
tral. The Mt. Pleasant boys wanted
to get back at the City College lads
for a return game because the Balti-
more boys handily won the title In
the Monumental City and Central
won out here.
There was nothing doing in the
way OF a game for Central, so the
Dark Blue athletes decided TO wait
until the next chance came. Tomor-
row Central will get a crack at the
Baltimore boys. Ernie Shaner
may ascend the mound for the Cen
trail team. It will be his second
game OF the week.
The Baltimore lads have q promis-
ing pitcher named Tommy Thomas,
who has been creating the same sort
OF record in Baltimore that Shaffer
has been compiling here. Central is
hoping for a win, as two defeats
from the Baltimore lads would be
hard to swallow.
