Saturday Will Draw
Large Field.
BY ED FULLER, JR.


TIME "big parade" in Spring sports
starts this week for schoolboy
athletes of the District group.
Play will open In the public
high school championship base ball and
tennis series with contests Tuesday and
Friday, the University Of Maryland
interscholastic track meet win be held
Saturday at College Park and a flock
of other attractions are on the books.
Tech and Western viii have the
honor of opening the public high dia-
mond series Tuesday in the Central
Stadium, starting at 3:45 o'clock. It
was decided some time ago again to
stage the series at Central. Eastern
High Stadium was the scene Of the
games last Spring. Despite q short
right field 1t has been concluded that
Central Is the best place for the con-
tests in view of its more convenient
location.
day in the second series game OF the
week, Eastern, the defending champion,
will not see action in the title set until

Tech and Western and Central and
Business will meet in the tennis title
matches Tuesday and Friday, respec-
lively, on the Sixteenth street Reser-
voir courts, at 3:45 O'Clock The sched-
ule for the net title play Is the same as
for base ball.
All the public high schools save Bust
ness, which has no track team, will be
represented in the Maryland meet Sat-
urday along with Dewitt and other
schools in the South Atlantic area. The
meet is being resumed after a lapse OF
a year because of rebuilding OF the
track at the Old Line school.
Aside from the championship con-
tests and the track meet score or
more of tests on the diamond and on
the tennis courts are booked for the
District schoolboys during the week.
It looks like q rip-snorting public
high base ball series. With the possible
exception of Western, and the boys in
Red might surprise, all the teams ap-
pear to have real strength. Eastern and
Tech, which fought it out for the title
last spring, with Eastern finally humb-
ling the Gray, IS to 2, to snare the
bunting, again seem to have class. Cen

better in pre-series encounters than was
figured. Western has several capable
players, but it Is generally agreed that
Coach Cliff Moores boys have failed so
far to impress as much as their rivals.
The remainder Of the championship
base ball and tennis cards follow:
May eastern VS.. Tech.
May Cuisines VS.. western.
May 13-Central VS.. Eastern.
May 16-BuSineSS VS.. Tech.
May 20-Central VS.. Western.
May Robustness VS.. Eastern.
May 27-Central VS.. Tech.
June eastern VS.. Western.
After all, though, the series will not
be decided until the games are actually
| played.
In tennis, Western appears likely to
retain its championship, judging by its
stellar showing to date.
Episcopal won the Maryland meet In
| 1928 with 40 points, edgtng out Dewitt
which was runner-up, with 10. Episco-
| pal Is not believed as strong as usual
this season and Dewitt assuredly is not
so 1t is believed that new teams will
snare honors Saturday. Eastern Highs
crack team, public high champion,
| which has cleaned UP in all its compet-
titions this season, Is figured as almost
| certain to lead teams Of the District
| group in point-scoring. In fact, 1t
would not be at all surprising to see
the Light Blue win the meet.
