VICTORIOUS cENTRALs.
Won High School Championship by
Beating Technical.

BY defeating Technical yesterday after
noon at the American League Park the
Central High School established it's right
to the championship honors of the High
School Base Ball League. Both teams
played well and hard, but the score stood
5 to in favor of the O-street boys at the
end. The number of persons who attended
the game was larger than at any high
school base ball contest this year. Rooters
for Central and Technical were especially
in evidence, but every school was well rep
resented.
The eighth inning was not finished on ac-
count of rain. which had been threatening
to come all afternoon. the score reverting
to the seventh, but there was time enough
for fair trial of skill. AS usual both
teams put great store by their pitchers,
Cunningham for Central, and Hartng for
"Tech" Both did good work and they ap-
peared to be pretty evenly matched. Har-
ing struck out nine men at the bat. giving
four their bases on balls. while Cunning
ham sent one more to first on DallS anu
struck out one less.
Technicars three runs were given IL py
errors on the other side. Capt. Snow Oh
Central allowed two to come In by an over
throw to third base to catch runner. Cen
trail got it's runs on clever playing at prop
er moments and several serious errors on
the part of Technical.
The interest in the game was intensined
from the fact that a victory for the Tech
nical would have meant tie between the
two teams for first place, which would
probably have been played of In series
Of three games The Central now, how
ever, has won four games and lost none,
Technical and Business are tied for the
second place, each with two lost and two
won games to it's credit. and Eastern and
Western are tied for third place, each hay
ing won 1 and lost games.
The series of games this year proved to
be one of the most interesting In the his
tory of base ball in the high schools. and
the results are such as will doubtless whet
the friendly rivalries for next year. !.
