outfeld, a good catching staff and a
fair corps OF pitchers. the Senators
will take the field with about the
best team Washington has ever had.
As with most clubs. excepting the
New York Yanks, the greatest prob

pitching: Walter Johnson. OF course,
is the dean OF the staff and much is
expected OF him this season. He has
been i'll with the grip but he ought
to be in shape within two weeks
after the opening OF the season.
Mogridge, Zachary and Erickson,
three veterans, looked very good In
the training camp, and Courtney, a
youngster who had everything last
season but control seems to have
found the plate.
If the Senators are able to dupli-
cate a couple OF reliable youngsters
who can take their turn in the box,
half the battle will be won. There
are three good prospects with the
team-Gleason a Shreveport rookie;
woodward, veteran OF the minors

youngster from New Orleans.

The stage Is all set for the big

which will be played in the High

It Is doubtful whether any other
athletic event in the city has created
such widespread interest as the gram
mar school kids in their basketball
and swimming events. The cham
pionship games between st. Mary's
and Grace, and the State champion
ship games between Defiance and
Dover were mere by-plays in the
minds of the nearly three thousand
grammar grade boys and girls when
compared to the importance of their
championship series. This is their
big show and all indications point to
a record crowd OF loyal enthusiasts
OF the Reds" and NAVY Blues"
who will support their teams to the
last blow OF the referees whistle.
Since January the grammar
teams, representing schools 1, 4. "a

" basketball contests in the high

time they have developed some re-
markable playing ability and team
work. with hut few exceptions all
Of the games resulted in CLOSE scores.
