have been not merely wage increase

The pattern of work is significant
ly different from the earlier days. No

Probably the best thing ever to
happen to schoolboy baseball in
this area will happen the week OF
May 20 when the Metropolitan
Invitation Tournament will be
held at Westinghouse High
School.
Patterned after The Stars Met
ropolitan basketball tourney, this
double elimination series will in
clude the champion and runner-ur
of the District interhigh series and
the Metropolitan Catholic League
the two top teams from Maryland
and the two best mines from Vir-
ginia. The tournament will be
run off. starting a week from next
Monday. in twilight-night double
headers.
Pete Rockwell, WI. coach and
the man who first dreamed up the
tourney. says that application has
been made to H. v. Porter, execu-
tive secretary of the National Fed
Grafton of High Schools, for ap-
prevail. A. E. (Rasty) Doran, direc-
tor of athletics for public schools
in Alexandria, is director of the
tournament.
Idea Advanced Last Year.
Rockwell first conceived the
idea last year when the Virginia
State Executive Committee of the
federation voted out the annual
State tournament. WI. won
that tournament last year and
advanced to the regionals where
it lost a one-run decision to
johnson City, Tenn, the eventual
champion.
This invitation tournament,
Rockwell says, lis going to be the
