Games Today.

The showing of the Business High
team in the second game of the high
school series was a distinct surprise.
There were few who thought that the
Stenographers had any chance to win.
but as matters turned out a decided
scare was thrown into the Blue and
White camp.
1t was thought that with Burley out of
the game the Business team would be
very much crippled, but it seems that q
mighty good twirler was resurrected
from somewhere. The fact that he was
able to hold the Central nine to four hits
goes long way toward proving that the
team is not in such q poor fix in re-
gard to pitching staff after all.
Boteler did not exert himself to any
decided extent, just pitching we'll enough,
and letting 1t go at that. The big fell
thing on the ball all the time. The way
he worked out proved that II any of the
nigh school teams get to him they will
be mighty lucky.
everybody was it's ability to hit the ball.
Most OF those who are familiar with the
prospects Of the different schools had
somehow gotten the idea that the Stenog-
raphers were possessed Of q light-hitting
team, but such did not prove to be the
case yesterday. In fact the team gave
every evidence of being a fair sticking
combination.
With a team which seems able to hit
and with a twirler who has proved that
he can hold down the best there Is an
the league the Business team should
prove troublesome aggregation for any
of the other mines.

Wood also showed himself to be some

offensive team. While he lost his game

such poor ball. and with the exception
that he was wild did we'll In the box.
Ten errors were enough to dishearten any
pitcher, and that Lynch only allowed seven
hits under such circumstances Is a mys-
terry. 1t is a wonder that the southern
ers did not score more runs than they
did.
Today the team will stack up against
the Chamber of Commerce nine. The
Commerce team has had but little practice
so far this season. and should not prove
so troublesome for the Hilltoppers.A
There was surprise sprung yesterday
in the Bankers League when the District
National team won from the American
Security and Trust Company by 1O-to-S
score. The Security company had its OPP
