Catholic University and Gallaudet to-
morrow open the local collegiate base
ball season, being scheduled to meet
at Brookland. Neither team has par
ticipated in a regular contest. except
for the practice affair in which Gallau-
Diet won from Technical High School
by a big margin. Catholic University
has had one or two line-ups against a
scrub outfit but nothing more.
Tomorrow's contest will serve to give
somewhat of line on what may be
expected of the two teams this season.
Gallaudet has the bulk of its strength
of last year back, but Catholic Univer-
sity lost several mighty good men.
However. the Brooklanders are going
to be more than ordinarily successful
because they possess an excellent bat
terry in Kendrick and Carroll.
Frank Schlosser. familiarly known as
"Schlitz" to his many friends in Wash

Schlosser was an officer in the Dis
trict National Guard. He played bas-
ket ball on several teams representing
that organization, and ran on relay
teams wearing it's colors. Incidental
ly, Schlitz did some brilliant work at
forward and center on the George
town University basket ball quint. He
was one of the best athletes that school
has had in that sport.

NEW YORK, March 26.-Club owners
and others interested in the affairs of the
International Base Bali League arrived
here today for informal conferences pre-
iminary to q meeting of the league tomor-
row, at which it is expected definite ac-
ton will be taken on the long-delayed
question Of whether to start the season
or suspend operations during the war.
AZ many Of the best players in the league
have been disposed Of to major leagues
and interest Is reported to be lukewarm
in majority Of the cities composing the
circuit the opinion is held generally that
the organizatioY will not attempt to start.
The Baltimore and Toronto manage
ments, in their efforts to induce otheI
cities to fill the gaps caused by resigna-
tons, have met with virtually no en-
couragement. Jack Dunn of Baltimore, it
is said. will endeavor to form a new
league, in the event that the International
