High School Notes.

Little Giu. who was largely responsible
for the Machinists victory over the
Stenographsrs, causing the three-cornercd
tie. is certainly in evidence around the
Technical institution, and deserves all
the credit imaginable. He will have a
sure berth on the nine next year, and.
provided he keeps up his consistent work
on the diamond. he would make a capable
leader for his team in his fourth year.
Gill Is playing his first year this season
in the high school series. and has been
putting up a strong game. both in the
field and at the bat, for his school from
the start.
In spite of the many statements that
Menefee. the hefty catcher of the Gen.
tralites. would not re-enter the o street
school next season, it is more than prob
able he will again don a Central uni
form next spring. He and Capt
Thomas are the strongest candidates
for the captaincy for next year. but 1t
does not matter which boy lands the
leadership. as they are the best OF
friends and hold no ill feeling against
each other. These players are the main
stay of the Blue and White. and do

For the first time In the history of the
high schools a tie is being played off by
three of the teams for the supremacy
in base ball circles. In the estimation
of many It now lies between Central
and Business. as Technical cannot be
their star twirler and premier slabman
of the high school, having quit school to
take berth on the Winchester ball
team. Many are Of the opinion that
Central will put up a much stronger
fight for first honors, and with an even
break in luck have the best chance
to bring a championship in this branch
of athletics to Central High.
The spring meet at this writing will
not be closely contended. and. like
the past few years, will have but
about two schools entered in this annual
competition. In spite OF the fact that
all the high schools had good track ma
winter season. the outl:ok in track al
all the high schools. with the exception
of Central and Western, is very dis
couraging. AS track is undoubtedly the
foundation of all branches OF athletics
it certainly seems a pity this track train

Central as the 0 street school has an
evenly balanced squad on hand that car
hardly be beaten by any one school
around these parts. Technical seems to
have abandoned the sport. and the many
men who trained faithfully during the
winter season. with such excellent re-
suits, seem to have lost interest in track
competition.
Central High will lose a valuable out.
