The Light Blue and White should have
considerable hitting power this year. The
team was not lacking in this department
last year. but II should be still better
this season. In Capt Dyer Cohill Thor
boast of five men. any one of whom a
prep school pitcher might well fear with
a man on the bases.
Some difficulty might he experienced in
finding a capable man for second base
As yet no man has appeared who has
sufficient experience or ability to be re-
garded as a favorite good man was
lost when Cornish recently left school.
This youngster showed that he had some
real baseball in him last year. and he
would have had no trouble making the
team this season. At present Shinn.
Lawson and Riley are the leading can
didates for the keystone sack. The first
two mentioned have had little experience,
while Riley. although highly touted, has
yet to show his class.
In Kelly. of Business. Coach White
has one of the best scholastic pitchers
in this section of the country. With a
good breaking curve and fair speed,
Kelly will prove TO be a winner in the
school series
Dave White, coach of the Western
High School baseball team, is banking
great deal on an unknown pitcher he
has tucked away. Dave says this lad
is a southpaw and will upset all the
dope in regard to the championship.
Steed, who is out for the catcher's
job at Tech. will start work in earnest
after the inauguration. This little chap
is a hustler from the start, and II will
take a mighty good man to keep him
off the ball club.
The Western team this year will more
likely have two Howards holding down
positions. Buck will surely play third
base, as he Is the king pin third sacker
of the scholastic circles, and his young
brother, Kid" Is said to be a conner
at the initial station.
Over at Eastern. Coach Hatch has had
his squal working regularly for the past
week. The Capitol Hill school has ma
terisl for a pennant winner II Johnson.
who did the twirling last year, has ac-
quired enough strength to go the full
nine innings. This boy had all kinds of
stun last year for five or six innings,
but in very few games was he able to
maintain the pace that he had started.
II Greer, who played outfield last year,
can learn to control his wonderful speed.
the pitching problem will be solved. This
boy handles himself like Il real pitcher.
his form and motion being almost iden-
teal to that of Big Bob" Whitney, the
best pitcher Eastern ever had, who has
signed contract TO play with the Chi
cago White SoN, after he finishes his
college season at Penn State, where he
is captain of the team.
It was learned last night from good
authority that Shorty Hughes would re-
ceive the appointment as official umpire
in the scholastic series. Hughes is about
the best amateur in this city, and IS
the logical man to handle the schoolboy
games.
Coach White had the Business High
school track and field men working out
yesterday morning in the gymnasium.
and several of the lads looked good. /
Harris and Struble. in the pole vault,
handled the bamboo stick in a clever
style, while several of the other chaps
did well in the broad jump.
