Pete Lynch Will.
Coach Tech Team
Pilot of 1912 Championship
Club Appointed to Head
Baseball Club.
TO DEVELOP PITCHERS
by C. w. SWAN.

Pete Lynch, who piloted the Techni-
cal High School team to the SCHOLASTIC
championship last spring. was yester-
day appointed coach of the Manual
T: ainers. succeeding Dick Robertson.
who has signed his contract with the
Savannah club, of the South Atlantic
| League.
Several men had been considered for
the position, but Athletic Director
Smith decided yesterday THAI Lynch
was the man to handle the ball team.
pas he was a success last season, and
lost no time in getting in touch with
the former star outfielder.
| Lynch played football and baseball
at Tech for four years, and also did a
little work on the track. But 1t was
in baseball that Pete made his name,
as he was recognized as the premier
outfielder in the scholastic ranks for
two seasons. In amateur ball Lynch
made good with ease, and should have
little trouble getting away TO flying
start in the school series.
Tech is not blessed with a world or
material. and Lynch has his work cut
out. Behind the bat he VIII have
either Steed or Lewis. and neither of
/ Lewis can hit, but has a weak arm.
peg, but is a weak hitter.
Just who Lynch will use on first Is a
question. Precise is not a first sacker
by any means, while Kemper would shine
| in the outfield. Hamline is a good man
for second. while Simpson will hold down
short. For third, Lynch will have
Ochsenreiter. who is a pretty fair ball
player, although not in the same class
with Buck Howard, of Western.

his pitchers. OF the four youngsters
| working for the berth, little DefendQf
| looks to be the best. Gallagher had a
| lot of stuff for high school lad, but
lacks control. Dudley is in the same
boat with Gallaher.
Tech has a good southpaw In Showers,
| If he could locate the plate. 1t would
not be surprising to see Lynch work the
southpaw in the opening Tech game,
although he may not continue to serve
! them over throughout the battle. Showers
has good delivery, fair speed, and
good breaking curve. With the proper
coaching he should develop into win
ming hurler.
Lynch took charge of the Manual
Trainers yesterday and worked the
squad for two hours. He will devote
the majority of his time to the developing
of q pitcher as the Blacksmiths are
without an experienced man on the
| mound.
The East Washington Sunday School
League is ready for the opening of the
season. At a meeting held at the residence
of President c. c. Love, lois ID street
Northeast. the officers for the coming

dent, with Richard Conner as vice presi-
dent. George c. Fultz will act as treas
urer, with John p. Evans as the secre-
tary and official scorer.
The clubs which will compose the
league and the managers are as follows:
Ninth Street, Wallace Kirby; First Pres

ert Sinclair; Church of the Reformation.

Five of the clubs have the men signed

other team, the First NJ. P. outfit, has
not gotten together as yet, and until
Dr. Butt, who is expected to manage
the club, has completed Arrangements

done. DIR. Butt managed the Ingram

up a schedule, and also see that the dia-
mond at Thirteenth and d Streets North
