In INAUGURAL BALL GAME
To Meet on Lalter's Field TomOrrow-Ce Central and
Eastern to Shoot on Wednesday-Hyattsville
High Awaiting Court Rival.

"ECH and St. Alban's mines are
polishing today for their game
tomorrow afternoon on the
Il 1atters diamond that VIII
open the base ball season for
Schoolboy teams of the local group.
The Manual Trainers will present
a green team, but one that contains
a number of players of promise, and
that may develop into sturdy COM
bination before the campaign gets so
very far along. St. Adams has a
nine believed to be stronger in every
department than ! /; which last sea-
son represented tle Wisconsin Ave-
nue. School The game starts at 3: 15
o'clock.
Marksmen of Central and Eastern
were practicing diligently today for
their match Wednesday at the Cen
trail range, the first of the public
high indoor championship series. The
Blue and White rangers. it appears,
will have 10 show their keenest eyes
if they would repulse the Lincoln
Parkers, who are particularly keen
to humble Central that for many
years has held sway in rife among
the public high schools. Both Cen
+, trail and Eastern will present teams
made up largely of new timber.
A couple more mines will make their
bow on Friday, when Dewitt visits
Eastern for crack at Charley
Guyon's championship team. The
West End schoolboys have nine that
is expected to make the Light Blue
and White hustle. Biggy Quinn,
crack pitcher, and a number of other
dependables of the fast 1926 Eastern
team are still on deck, but Guyon
says he is not satisfied with the squad
ey&- Dc. in
one. 1t is a safe bet that plenty of
the Light Blue and White tossers will
be given opportunity of showing their
mettle under fire on Friday.
Another event Friday will be the
second title rife match of the week
in which Eastern shooters will again
figure. This time the East End shots
will entertain Western on the former S
range. Western has a number of
high-class marksmen and good con-
test seems likely.
Tech base balers will play their
second game of the week on Saturday,
visiting Alexandria to meet Episcopal
High.
Business and Tech golfers are to
meet at East Potomac Saturday in the
first engagement of the public high
championship series. Just how the
Stenog linksmen viii line up is not
known, but it is certain that three
members of the Tech team will be
Edwin Burr, Arthur Bennett and
Robert Burton, as they showed well

up of the team, when Burr had a

and Hunter are others who may

certain of having place.
Out around HyattsvilIe there is
much interest in the outcome of the
basket ball game tomorrow night at
Catonsville, Nd, between Allegany
and Annapolis High Schools, as the
winner will be pitted against Hyatts-
Vile Friday, at Frederick, in the bat
tie that will decide the Maryland high
school championship.
While earnest preparation will not
start until next week, when members
OF the basket ball team who also are
diamond dependables join the squad,
base ball practice got under way today
at Hyattsville High.

Hyattsville' principal need the
coming season, it now appears, will
be more pitching strength. Capable
