Georgetown Prep and st. AL
oans share honors on The Wash
4ngton Times first all-prep base
ball team selected by prer
school coaches, with the Garrett
Park institution taking six of the
10 places.
Emerson players assume four
posts on the second nine, with
Friends, placing two men, George
town Prep three, and st. Albans
one.
The selections were made by
Joe Gardner, of Georgetown Prep;
James Henderson. of st. Adams,
and Harlan P. Sanborn, of Emer
son. Charles w. Wannan, OF
Friends, did not feel competent
to select a full team, but favor.
ably mentioned some of his own
players and those of his rival
coaches.
For the second year in success.
sion, Ray Patton, of st. Albans
and Don Mcnamara, of George,
town Prep, share first pitching
honorS.
Tom Keating and George M
Cohan, jr., both of Georgetown
are two other repeaters from last
seasons selection, with Cohan
getting the nod as catcher this
time, instead of as an outfielder,
where he cavorted on the 1882
team.
Brother corr ubinations hold the
spotlight, wtti Jim Keating
shouldering the first base laurels
on the first nine along with his
brother, Tom, at shortstop, while
st. Albans has it's two Hender-
sons, Archie and Jimmie. also on
the major squad. Singularly
enough, these four brothers di-
vide the infield berths between
them.
Breaks Monopoly
Johnny MCGEE. of st. Adams,
alone was able to break into a
near Georgetown Prep monopoly
of outfield positions on the first
team. The little Hoyas outfield
erS we're so good that one of their
substitutes, Williams, made the
second team.
Here is how Gardner lines 'em
up on first and second teams:

The st. Albans mentor pays a
handsome compliment to George

Boosts Own Boy
He takes occasion, however, to
boost one of his own boys. Says
he:
"Ge0rgetown Prep had the
best balanced team. In only
two or three positions were we
superior to them, but one of
them happens to be the pitcher.
Ray Patton was the OutStand-
ing player in the series. Though
we played a hard schedule, he
pitched every game and Chalked
ND a remarkable StrikeOut rec
ord and issued few walks. He
let Virginia Freshmen down
with three hits and WoOdberry
Forest with six"
Henderson claims CnaC henry
Clark, Friends four-sport star,
pitched a better game against
them than Don Mcnamara,
Georgetown mound ace.
Sanborn admits that he only
had one man who stood out,
Francis Gordon, at third. Cor
don was consistently good in all
games, exhibiting real baseball in
stinct. Here's Sanborn's selec-
ton:
