Technical High now looms up as the
strongest contender for the high school
base ball championship. The easy man
ner in which it won from Business yes
terday is indicative of much greater
strength than has as yet been shown by
any other nine in the series. In pitching,
fielding and batting the Manual Trainers
gave a better exhibition than has been
seen in any of the other games. and on
the performance Of yesterday undoubted-
ly is to be favored in the race.
The one feature of the game, the one
which should cause greatest satisfaction
to the adherents of the Maroon and Gray
is the fact that Austin seems to be in
the form that made him a winning pitch
er last year. With the veteran pitching
the kind Of ball he did yesterday there
is little doubt that it will take mighty
big effort on the part of the Western
team to beat him, and that is the only
channel through which the championship
can be lost to Tech. There Is not much
likelihood that Eastern will beat Tech.
The two other factors which establish
the Tech nine as the favorite in the race
are the clean fielding and hard hitting
the team evidenced. There has been no
team in any game in the series which has
put up as good an exhibition in either of
those two departments that Tech did yes
terday. and what the Manual Trainers are
likely to do to some of the pitchers who
oppose them is a great deal.
Central may defeat Western next Tues
day. In fact, il anything, the chances
favor the Blue and White to win, but it
must be Western to stop Tech or else the
championship will go to the latter. II
Western beats Central in the game next
week then 1t will be a case of the cham
pionship being decided in the last con-
test.

play. Both teams sent two runs each
over the platter. Adams tallying theirs In
the first and Southern in the first and
fourth.
Shehan started for Adams, but did not
last quite an inning. Bryant came In from
right field and finished up in clever style.
This was the big fellows third game of
the week, and while he did not add to
his strike-out record many of the South
ernites, he was especially effective with
men on.
Southern lost grand opportunity in the
opener, and instead OF scoring one run
it should have had at least three. Greg
DRY led of with fly to Bryant, but the
big fellow dropped 1t. Holbrunner walked.
