EVANSVILLE, Md, January g.
Hyattsville High Schools basket ball
squad, which will renew its schedule fol-
lowing the holidays against washington
Tech High Tuesday in the latter's gym
nasium, resumed practice the latter part
Of this week and also plans to get in a
hard session Monday.
In addition to the Tech tilt the
HyattSville basketerS also will engage
Catonsville, Md, High at Gainesville
wednesday to complete its next weeks
card. Hyattsyille girls will meet the
Gainesville sextet the same afternoon.
Tech viii be the third quint of the
washington public high group to be met
by HyattSville. Business and Central
visited here before the holidays and de-
feated the Hyattsville boys, but both
the Stenogs and the Blue had to battle
hard to win.
1t is unlikely Tech will take undue
chances against HyattSville as doubtless
1t has not forgotten the surprise 1924
defeat slipped it by the Marylanders last
season in Techs first game following
its capture of the public high school
title.
Hyattsville boys will be out for their
second win this season over Gainesville
High, the latter having bowed to Hyatts-
vile in BOIL tilt here several weeks
ago. Hyattsville girls will be striving to
even the slate for q 1924 defeat handed
them by the Gainesville sextet at the
same time.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

around midday and who would rather
spend Ii driving balls into practice
net or putting around an indoor course
than standing on street corner. 1t
appears that some of the Washington
indoor golf promoters might take leaf
from the book of the professionals in
other cities and put out a goodly gen.
erous piece of bait in the form Of a
combined restaurant and golf school,
thus making the tail of the cat wag-
gle at both ends.
Up at the L'Aiglon pitch and putt
course Henry Miller Is running a ringer
tournament as well as his weekly pitch
ing and putting Journeys. william @.

golf schools in washington, but
after a look around in other
cities, it seems to us that those
who promote indoor golf in the Capital
are overlooking a good bet That would
be bang-up school, with restaurant
and adequate lunching facilities, COM
Portable lounging chairs, a flock of nets
at which the tired business man could
while away the half hour before or
after lunch, and a real indoor pitch and
putt golf course.
They do things that way in New York
and Chicago and how the customers
flock to them during the lunch hour.
There are lots of golfers in both cities
who do not care for Winter golf, but
who enjoy the feel of club in their
hands even If they hit the ball against
the unromantic wall of a canvas net.
And by the same token, just to keep
the eye and hand in, they enjoy bit
Of pitching and putting. Several big
indoor schools in these two cities have
made lots of money by the simple ex-
pedient of combining an attractive eat
ing place with their golf facilities, max
ing 1t possible for the business man
golfer to lunch and golf in the same
building, and frequently on the same
floor.
Scattered throughout washington are
half dozen golf schools, some Of which
have putting courses combined with
the driving. nets. But none Of them
has madeline appeal to the hlnching
golfer, WHO has Q bit Of idle time

 Although a Cook County jury found the players ''not guilty" Comiskey agreed with K. M. Lan- dis, baseball czar, and other own CTS that the players involved should remain ineligible for the good of the game.
