Rivals Captains Oh Same School
Not only do Miner. the Navy cap
tain, and Honnen, leader of the Army
tossers, play the same position on
their respective teams - shortstop -
but it also develops that they are pro-
ducts OF the same schOlo of boyhood
days. Prior to entering the service
institutions they received their pre-
liminary education at the South Phila
delphia High School. This coincidence
alone undoubtedly furnished each adj
ditional incentive to pull his team
through the battle with flying colors.
Navy InfieId Good
The Navy has a thoroughly high
grade infield. Miner, at short, cap
ain of the nine. is a brilliant and
reliable player, some of his stops and
luick throws being of the sensational
order. Pine, also a veteran, at sec
md. is also thoroughly capable, and
humphreys is a first-rate first base
nan. In recent games. Cloughley has

work and playing up to the standard

Hogan has been catching, and, not
only doing it well, but batting as
lard as any man on the team.
Each Has Six veterans
Each has six players who were I'M

Berkeley Hall and Rutgers, while his
colors were lowered by Lehigh and
Boston College.
Lobert took his boys out on the
Navy field yesterday afternoon and
gave them a splendid all-around
practice. He has an exceptionally
last infield and his team, as a whole,
measures up TO a good one. BY the
time they got through Billy Lush

showed a lot of dash and the clubs
appear pretty evenly matched. More
than 1000 persons watched the work
outs.
