Leading Bidder to Fill Central

High Catching Vacancy.

Don Dunlap depends in large meas
ure Central's chance of winning the
public high school base ball cham
pionship. This Woodworking kid,
who was one of the backield main
stays in Centrals title-winning foot
ball team last Fall, is the leading can
didate for catcher to plug the yawn-
ing hole left by Cliff Keyser, who is
ineligible because of scholastic diff
ficulties.
Dunlap is plenty willing, says Jackie
Ray, Central's coach, but lacks ex-
perience. Ray has plenty of good
mound talent, but must develop a
capable catcher to hold 'em up.
Keenly alive to the Importance Of the
situation, he has obtained Benny
April, former Tech and University of
Virginia catcher, to give Dunlap
pointers.
Pitchers showing best form for Gen.
trail just now are Cowan and Smith
of last seasons staff and Irons and
Rolls.

ficult task of trying to stop
George T. Dunlap'S bid for a
third North and South amateur
golf championship in today's
first round OF match play.
With Dunlap highly favored, par
ticularly after firing an impressive 81
in the qualifying round that won
medal honors. Lenehan was given lit
tie chance to knock the national
champion out of the tournament. The
Providence golfer qualified with a rs.
While Dunlap was the odds-on
favorite. the field had sufficient class
to assure that every match would be a
struggle. August F. Hammer, jr..
Princeton base ball star and former
metropolitan and New Jersey Junior
champion, was impressive in his quail
flying round. Despite missing a num-
Der of short puts, he wound up with
IA and finished second to Dunlap.
Other well known golfers in the
tournament include Arthur Lynch of
Mamaroneck, N. Y; Jack Reyerson,

pion and former New England title

Naturally, he wanted to play we'll
he wanted to win-but that was a
matter of secondary consideration.
His main purpose was to establish a
unique Spring fixture, which happened
to be a great show in 1884 and will
be an even greater one in 1885.
Among those invited was Walter
Hagen. Hagen was advised not to
risk himself against Jones over Jones
own course. Four Gays before the
tournament, Hagen had a badly
sprained left hand. He had every
excuse for staying away. Instead of
this, he reported for play with his
hand bandaged up, without an alibi
or an excuse.
And when Bobby Jones lost his
touch around the greens the first
two days. it was Hagen who came to
me and asked to be paired with Jones.
Il think I can help Bobby" Hagen
said. I'D like to play with him."

Philidor's defense, which is not much

played: it was not open enough for
me. 1t seems to suit Byler's con-
, templative state of mind. Knapp
needed only to draw this game to win
the match, and some of his moves
indicate that is what he was playing
for, as they lacked aggressiveness and
a purpose to win. He missed an OPP
| portunity on his sixth move to gain
what looks to me like a winning ad-
vantage. Byler played with a pur-
pose all through; he outmaneuvered
his opponent. The manner in which
he played his pieces and pawnS In
the last half of the game is most
interesting and instructive.

Coach Draws No Pay.

I'D MORRIS, who gets a 'lot of
IT. fun" to quote him, out of
coaching George Washington's
base ball team, is in an unusual posi-
ton for college coach, to say the
least. He gets no salary and is TAX
ing on the job of building up Colo
NAL base ball for no other reason
than his love for the game and his
interest in taking part in it. In
business here, Morris arranges his
time to suit his own coaching con-
Venience, and has "a lot of fun and
q good time doing it."
Morris is a former Williams Col
lege player.
Roger Leverton, recently elected to
captain the University of Richmond
foot ball team next season, is a for
mer Central High School athlete. He
is the son of Joe Leverton, who
in years gone by was a prominent
figure in local amateur base ball.
Leverton has won four letters at
Richmond and has achieved even
greater distinction than his high
school record indicated he might. He
was brilliant as halfback in foot
ball, played on the base ball team, is
q member of the track squad and is
q star in basket ball. At Central he
also was good swimmer. Very few
athletes that have left the Washing
ton high schools in recent years have
made records in college ranks the
equal of that of Leverton.
