INDIAN HEAD PLAYS
QUINCY NEXT SUNDAY

Old Jupiter Pluvius put a crimp in
the plans of the Indian Head Ball
Club Sunday. They had planned to
usher in the month of May with a
victory over the fast Gibraltar nine
and run up their string of consecutive
victories to four. To date they have
attached to their belts the scalps of
the following Washington teams, the
Red SoX and the Metropolitans.
A week ago last Sunday the Alex
andria Cardinals were trimmed to the
tune of 4 to ]. Heise striking out
fourteen of the AleXandrians and al
lowing but three hits, would have
been credited with shutout but for
an error in the ninth inning.
The weather man permitting, the
pill busters down the river will stack
up against the quincy A. c. nine of
Washington next Sunday, May 8.

KELLY FAR AHEAD
OF RUTHS RECORD

The race for home run honors be-

overshadowing anything else in the
baseball world right now. The atten-

holds the lead by a margin of one. as
he banged out his seventh four-bagger
of the season yesterday while the
Bambino pasted his sixth circuit clout
up in Boston.
Kelly is way ahead OF Ruth's record
OF last year. The Babe got his seventh
homer in 1920 on May %. Leonard Of
Detroit being the victim. Here are the

GUILFORD IN UPPER HALF.
Only one American. Jesse Guilford.
is in the upper half. Guiiford is -
mighty fine player; in fact, one Of the
best amateurs in the East. But it 10
hardly likely he will go the inal
round. And II may be he will not get
further than the second round. for
then and there he will encounter the
ha hitting Cyril Tolley. present
British title holder. who defeated Bob
Gardner in the final last year.
Tolley Is grand match player.
That, at least, Is his reputation and
1t may be that he will again go to
the finals. Nevertheless we have a
feeling the long-driving Guilford is
going to give him a hard struggle be-
fore the end is reached.
However. in spite of the draw and
hn act hat 4. ardV nd nnu

are going with the team, the chances
of an American returning with the
British golf crown in his possession
are exceedingly bright For it is hard
to see how the English amateurs are
going to stop Evans, Ouimet, Jones,
Platt, Fowes, Hunter, Guilford and
Wright. all first-class performers. 1t
is true the Americans will aid greatly,
in their own elimination, but they are
sure to carry others with them in
their withdrawal from the picture
TWO STARS IN FINE FORM.
II is our belief the Americans will
undoubtedly prove sensations on the
other side. IL is reported that the
Britons are eagerly awaiting the ar
rival OF Bobby Jones, OF whom they
be disappointed. This youth. whose
shots number every kind ever invent
ed, is playing in top form at present
and IL he continues his present gait
he will give them cause to IVORY about
the open title as we'll as the amateur
claim.
Evans and Ouimet are playing as
well as, and even better than, they
ever did in their careers. There Is no
reason to expect that they are going
to show a reversal of form on the
other side. Climatic conditions may
interfere some what. but IL a man has
the game he can generally put 1t on
anywhere.
The youthfulness as well as the
quality of the players probably Will
surprise the folks on John Bulls isle;
for Wright, Plat and Jones are mere
children, having only recently attained
voting age. and none of the others II

SCHOOL MEET
FOR CENTRAL
Mt. Pleasant Athletes Are Top
Heavy Favorites to Win
Saturday Affair.
BY BRYAN MORSE.

Central High School is picked to
land first honors in the annual high
school championship field and track
games which will take place Satur-
day afternoon in the Mount Pleasant
stadium, Thirteenth and Clifton
streets northwest. The Central lads.
while they did nothing out of the
ordinary on Saturday at the Penn
Relay games, showed enough to war
rant the prediction that they have
both Tech and Western, their strong
est competitors, backed off the
boards. The annual feature is al
most foregone conclusion, as Cen
trail is possessed Of at least one
strong performer in every event.
The high school meet Saturday
ushers in three weeks of competition.
The May meet is the annual affair.
On May IA the big Central High School
&C" Club meet. the Emory M. Wilson
memorial games. will be staged.
On May 81 practically all of the
Washington high school teams will
go to Port Deposit, Md. for the Tome
School meet, while the freshmen
meet scheduled for the yearlings in
the schools here will be staged in the
Central Stadium.
CENTRAL FAVORED.
A more or less cursory glance at
the talent in the schools this season.
reveals the fact that in the sprints.
distances and field events Central is
a top-heavy favorite.
Kern, Johnston, Melton, Shipley,
Tyree. Vessels, Nicholas, Littlepage,
johnson, and McFadden appear to
have the meet sewed up.
1t will be remembered that Nc
Fadden in winning the high jump and
pole vault, and Johnston in winning
the dashes and discus practically
cleaned up the meet for Central last
season.
While Kern was out of competition
to certain extent this winter it is
expected that he will return to form
for this spring. The Central lads will
line up three first class sprinters in
Kern, Melton. and Johnston.
In the middle distances Vessels,
Tyree, and Shipley are expected to
come through.
McFadden and Wilton in the field
events with Hugh tombstone, L.
Johnston, and H. Johnson to be
drawn upon for extra points, will give
Central big edge.
TECK NOT STRONG.
With the exception of Pugh, Parella
In the javelin; Aubinoe, and one or
two others. Tech has nothing that
will be even formidable. In Davis, a
newcomer at Western: Nichols. H.
Wright, and Leo Douglas, Western 10
possessed of enough talent to land
something over fifteen points.
1t is expected that Central will
equal the total number of points
gathered by Tech and Western to-
gether and will haev them have a
twenty-five point margin.
In the Freshman meet to be sched-
uled here later in the month Central
will get first class competition from
the other schools.
