Eastern will either win the scholastic
title today or be forced TO fight atfleast
another battle to gain that honor.
'Untz" Brewer will oppose Johnny
johnson on the mound, and pitchers
battle should result. although, accord
ing to all the dope on high school base
hall. the game should be a farce, as far
as baseball is concerned.
Both teams have the necessary nerve.
Every player in the game today will be
there fighting for the battle, without
knowing the meaning of the word quit,
and for that reason a high school tradi-
ton may be broken, and the teams put
up a clever article Of ball.
The contest was originally scheduled
for Saturday, but the field was in no
condition upon which to stage a ball
game. So the contest was postponed
until this afternoon.
Business and Central will clash in
the closing contest in the double bill.
Should Western beat Eastern the
stenographers will put mp a great fight
for the contest. as a victory will cause
a three-cornered tie-up, and should
Eastern trim the lads from across the
creek. the Pen Pushers will battle for
second place.

Central. will be called upon TO face
real pitcher in Spike" Kelley, of Bust

start right after the Eastern-Western
struggle.
