Central Highs pennant aspirations got
bad start AT American League Park
yesterday afternoon. when they were de-
fe6ted by the fast Business High nine
in long drawn cut but interesting game

Bert Kelley. Boetler, who was substi-
tuted. started well by striking out the
third man TO take the count

pair attempted 70 nab a foul fly from

result. the former received a nasty cut
behind the ear and the latter was taken

badly injured head
The game was delayed until the injured
players were unable 70 resume. and then
hOstiHties proceeded. The Central play
ers showed the proper spirit and started
10 make up for lost tine; but the lead
already accredited 20 their opponents
was too much 10 overcome. and Central
was compelled 70 bite the dust.
Rawlings Pitches Well.
Rawlings. the Stenographers' star slab
man. served them over in fine style for
his team, and with the exception Of one
inning was a complete puzzle to the op-
posing batsmen- He had speed a-plenty.
and was also there with a deceiving
ball that had the CentraHtes guessing.
Boetler, who succeeded Bulloch on the
mound for Central, also pitched great
ball, and during his stay in the box held
the StenOgraphers 10 seven hits. and
caused eight Of them 10 take solid Whifs
al the atmosphere. Poor support in the
eighth session seemed 10 take the heart
out Of the elongated one. Richardson,
who guarded the left outer garden, was
away of in his fielding. and during this
inning Business added three runs to their
total Richardson was charged with the
only nisoues credited against his team.
