straight games, including i'm
pressive victories over st. Johns,
Westinghouse and Wilson.
Wilson had been beaten only by
st. Adams, in an early season
upset. st. Johns and Roosevelt
and had beaten George Wash
ington of Alexandria.
Roosevelt and Wilson scored
victories in the first round of
the Interhigh playoffs Friday
night. but then the form sheet
got lost. Wilson gave Roosevelt
its first defeat of the season. and
won the interhigh title Saturday
night. Monday night. st. An
thongs upset Wilson, and Tues
day night it was CIV that
knocked Roosevelt out of the
tournament.

The Metropolitan tournament
pairings had a lot to do with
Wilson's loss. BY all rights, the
No. / team is paired with the
No. 8 five in event Of this kind.
The Interhigh champion was
seeded No. l and Falls Church
should have been rated No. 8.
Since under this system. the
No. 2 team, st. Johns. would
have faced another Catholic
League team, st. Anthony's, No.
7. the pairings were switched to
send Wilson, the Interhigh
champion, against st. Anthony's
and st. Johns against Falls
Church.
Granted, it is not the best
policy to match two teams from
the same league lit happened
last year when the Interhigh's
Roosevelt and Tech met in the
finals. However, that is
fairer than forcing a top-seeded
team to face tough opposition
in it's opening game.
st. Anthony's has been play
ing fine basketball lately-the
TONES were impressive in routing
Georgetown Prep in the Catholic
League consolation game last
Friday night. Wilson, fresh
from its stunning upset Of
Roosevelt, figured to have a let
down. Had the Tigers been
paired with Falls Church. a
hustling team, but not in Will
sons class, in their opener. they
would have survived. Against
a good st. Anthony's five, which
played a great game. Wilson
couldn't make it.
Roosevelt had the misfortune
to run into CIV on the night
when the Presidents were giving
their finest performance of the
season. The Riders didn't get
the best of it on that last
second decision by the officials,
but they can charge the defeat
up to a dismal second period
when they scored only two
points and great CIV game.
X + 4
st. Johns is certainly in a
good position. The Johnnies
had an easy time against Falls
Church and now face CIV in
stead of Roosevelt, a team that
beat the Johnnies earlier this
season. The Presidents will be
tough, but it will be difficult for
them to repeat the great game
they played against Roosevelt.
If st. Johns wins tonight. it will
meet WI, a five the Johnnies
routed by % points in the reg
ular season.
Although this years CIV team
is not as good as the i've that
lost The Star tournament by two
points to Tech in overtime last
year, it is a better rounded club.

1912, were on hand the other
night to congratulate their old

Tigers won the title.

FBI Nine WithdraWs
From Sand|ot Leauue
Over Apology Protest

The FBI baseball team has
withdrawn from the Depart
mental League over a protest
based on the failure of one of
it's players to apologize for "un-
necessary roughness.
Manager Charlie Beall Off
cially Withdrew his team, the
defending champion and previous
league leader, at a meeting last
night in which the protest was
upheld.
The protest which led to the
FBI's withdrawal was made by
the Union Printers after a 20
loss to the G-men Monday. The
Printers contended that Left
fielder Frank Shellenback was
ineligible because of a league
ruling requiring Shellenback to
apologize to the Hicks Chevrolet
team for having run into the
Hicks catcher in a FBI- Hicks
game last week.
The protest was upheld after
Beall took his team out of the
league last night and Atchison
and Keller now occupies first
place. FBI, a member of the
Departmental League for the
last 20 years, has until 5 pm.
today to reconsider it's action.
Beall said, however, that he will
not reconsider and will play only
independent teams for the rest
Of the season.
Meanwhile, another team, Phil
lips TV of the Industrial League,
may be forced to withdraw from
Washington sandlot activity be-
cause of the loss of it's sponsor.
Phillips TV is without operat-

Stores, went into receivership
last week. The team, which fin
ished second in the first half Of
the Industrial League and is tied
for runner-up in the Prince
Georges County Suburban
League, has only a few bats left.
