RIGHT-HAND SKATERS
FORCE CUBS TO RUN FAR

CHICAGO. April 90 (P.-Sam Potts
Hall, who deals in statistics, made a
discovery that has caused even Man
ager Joe Mccarthy to ponder.
Hall figures that because a right
handed hitter in base ball takes one
more step than southpaw in going to
firts base that the Cubs, who are almost
all right-handers, will run 70 miles
farther than any other National League
team this season.

Business.
other contests of more than average
interest slated during the week are the
base ball games between Eastern and
Gonzaga, old rivals, today in the East
ern Stadium. and between Eastern and
Staunton Military Academy Saturday
afternoon at Clark Griffith Stadium.
incidentally Eastern's nine will be
the busiest of the schoolboy combina-
tions, having an engagement for every
day of the week.
Central and Western, lively rivals,
will meet tomorrow afternoon in their
public high school championship series
game in Eastern Stadium starting at
3:15 O'Clock.
Both teams are planning stern
fight for victory. Thoroughly diSsatis-
fed with the work of his charges, who
have lost both their series starts to
date, Coach Kimble of Central plans
to present q much different lineup
than he has been using. On the other
hand, Dan Ahern, Western tutor, prob
ably will start the same combination he
has employed in both the series games
so far.
Parks, Shloss or Jorg are all possible
starters on the mound for Central
Capt. George Fletcher Is expected to
again be on the mound for Western.
Three other diamond games and two
tennis matches also are listed for

to the Central-Western match as it
probably will decide the championship.
1t will be staged on the Sixteenth
Street Reservoir courts, starting at 3:15
o'clock
There is nothing new in the situa-
ton that finds Central and Western
fighting it out for the net crown.
Teams of these schools have been the
chief contenders for the title the past
several seasons Last Spring Central
triumphed over the Georgetowners,
to 3, in a keen struggle.
So far Central has easily brushed
aside Eastern and Tech in series en-
gagements, defeating both by Z to O
Western has not taken part in any
series matches to date, but has won
three matches In as many starts, hav-
ing scored over Severn, Episcopal and
Gilman.
