GRAY GETS MARGIN
IN PITCHERS DUEL
Technical Defeats Eastern
by Masterful Work of
Its Twirler.

Poor support in the field and the con-

the stands caused Whitney, the big
Eastern High School pitcher, to wabble
In the closing innings of yesterdays
Tech-Eastern game and allowed the
Manual Trainers to come away with
the long end OF a 3 to score.
AS was predicted at the start OF the
high school season, the main strength of
both these teams lies I'm the pitching de-
partment and never was that fact more
firmly impressed upon the high school
followers than by the game yesterday.
Until the sixth inning the game was
better contested than any that has been
played in the scholastic league so far
this season, the majority of the batters
on both sides going down by the strike
out route. Whitney and Gray were both
in fine fettle, and when Eastern over
came the one run lead obtained by Tech

Eastern Weakens.

From the third TO the sixth neither
scored. Gray let Eastern out in order
during the session. Whitney walked the
hrst, and then after two pop flies, one
to center and one to third, had been
allowed TO drop untouched. Lynch
smached 8 hot one through second, scor-
ing two. From the sixth on Gray was
inVincible, while Whitney, poorly sup
ported, became careless, and the Man
ual Trainers, clinched the game In the
eighth by squeezing two more across
the plate.
While this game does not entirely
eliminate the Eastern team as a pos
sibility for the high school title it great
ly weakens its chances: while on the
other hand. Tech stock has taken a de-
cided boost. One feature IN the per-
Torrance Of the Tech outfit was its abiI-
ity TO swat the ball when hits were
needed, the pinches always being looked
after In admirable fashion with a good,
consistent pitcher like Gray in the box
IL is just this feature that is needed,
and unless luck was the paramount item
in producing those timely bingles yes
terday Tech should be a very strong
contender for the coveted laurels.
