SPORTS: Dan Ahern, Western Coach, Would Have School Base Ball Series Started Later | Georgetown A. C. Will Hold inal Diamond Drill Sunday ‘THINKS NINES NEED MORE PREPARATION s s Sees Higher Caliber of Play if Games Were to Begin Around May 1. AN AHERN, Western High School director of athletics, is taking the initiative in a n-m to et the public high school ball championship series started ln‘.er in the spri.nc Of course, he realizes that it is too late to have {!ll‘l schedule changed, but he is . hopeful of bringing the other officials sm‘llx?d to his way of thinking by next pring. It is Ahern's conviction that by be- ginning the series later better base ball would be in order as the teams would be able to get in omre prepa- ration than is now the case. He be- lleves that May 1 would be an ideal time to start. Officlals who are un- * favorable to the later start are unders stood to take the position that there might not be time to play postponed matches if the contests were defer- red, but as to this Ahern does not agree. He recalls that at one time the series was started around May 1, but when it was decided to have each team play the other twice the starting date ‘was moved up. Since then the present system of playing only one round has been renewed and Ahern sees no reason for not returning to the later beginning. Should the series be started around May 1, which is a couple of weeks later than it now is begun, a truer champion could be determined, he maintains. Each team, he contends, would have a chance to play a sufficient number of games to get in its best condition. As it is now the clubs at the most have only a couple of weeks to prepare for the champion- uh&K tests and the coaches really have culty in getting a definite line on their material. Ahern' is of the opinion that the teams should finish their seasons with the championship series. He is con- Vinced that such a plan is in every way logical. However, he is not averse to seeing a return to the former plan of havins each team meet the other twice, as in this way, he opines, a worthy cham- pion could be determined. COLLEGE BASE BALL.

Coach Lynn Woodworth was well pleased with the showing of his Busi- ness High base ball team in trimming Swavely School nine, 10 to 3, in the opening game of the season for the Stenogs. He was rly tified at the fine work of Roland Hargett, catcher, who not only showed impres- sively behind the bat, but came through with three hits in five times at bat. The receiving job has been one of the chief, if not the chief, worry of Wood- worth since it became known that Jakie Lewis, clever catcher, was to be in- eligible scholastically at least until the season is well under way. Work of Leonard, Newman and Sil- verman on the mound; Pred Pinley at fiist base, Joe Brown at second, Bob Lucas at shortstop and Spencer Chase at third also tickled Woodworth. It is the outfield now that is giving the Stenog ‘mentor ‘most worry.
