League tests in the meantime sched- uled for the local team are at Fort Wayne on March 7 and 8 and at Chi- cago on March 9 and 10. Tonight Washington meets the Rich- mond Grays in the Virginia capital and tomorrow night will appear in Hagerstown against the ‘Baltimore Orioles. No other contests are carded for Marshall's men for this week. although efforts are being made to list one or two exhibitions to keep them in condition. Last night's game was well con- tested and unusually free of rough- ness for a pro exhibition. It was a real battle for the first half. which ended in a tie at 14 points. In the final . half, however, Washington launched an attack about midway of the final half that sent the locals far ahead. All the local tossers except Kearns had a big hand in the offensive. P #on and Meehan were Philadelphia’s high scorers. TI.LDE}W AND COEN SCORE. MIAMI BEACH. Fla...
