BUSINESS AND TECH
TOPLAY FOR TITLE
Defeat of Central Again
Puts Manual Trainers
in the Running.

It's VI to Teeh and Business to meet
Tor a second time this year to decide
the champiOnsl Q Of the high school
league. and after the showing of the
Tech team yesterday. when it defeat
ed Central High by to 3, on AIcDev-
tits Field many are wont to put the
two teams on an even basis for the
deciding game.
When Business and Tech met before
the latter was a winner mainly through
the excellent work of Gray on the
slab. Gray has since eft school and it
was thought at the time that the last
chance Of the Manual Trainers had
been obliterated, but when Lynch, who
worked yesterday. pulled through the
contest in good style and was irwin
chile in tight places. many again took
hope and with the memory of a previ-
Gus win over the -StenographeTs, the
Tech players are today expressing a
confidence that they can again turn
the trick.
Central has dropped completely out
of the race. It's failure has been one
of the biggest surprises of the present
season, if not of the past several years.
When the season began Central made
strong Did for popular favor mainly
through It's consistent work In the pre-
lminary games, and when, after sever
al weeks coaching, the aggregation
showed a fair amount OF inside base
ball besides a marked ability OF clout
the ball. but few who follow high
school athletics had any doubt but that
the team was the best bet for the pen
naut
In comparing Business and Tech for
the final game, the StenOgraphers look
the better Tech is without the services
OF an experienced pitcher, and this Is
always a great handicap TO a weak
hitting team. Rawlings. the Business
twirIer, worked a good game against
the StenograDhers last time and a rep
etftion of that performance, without
Gray in opposition. looks an easy win
for the Business lads.
