When Cohill returns to the game for
| Eastern, the Light Blue and White will
be real contenders for the rag. With an
experienced man doing the receiving, ana
Dyer and Fisher in the regular places on
the infield, Eastern will be hard to beat.
'Luggi'' Thornett. the slugging third
sacker of the Eastern outfit, bids fair
to be one of the sensations Of the series
For a youngster, luigi is displaying
championship form. and whether his team
is in the race or not, the Northeast boy
will put up a clever game.
A natural hitter, 'Luggi'' is slamming
the ball to all corners Of the lot, and can
be depended upon to break up more than
one game for Eastern this spring After
the close of the scholastic series, "Luggi''
will be seen in the Sunday School League,
with the First Presbyterians. Dick Con-
ner, manager Of the First team, Is con-
fident that 'Luggr' will some day be q
star of the first water with the big fell
lows.
Buck, who will more than likely do the
hurting for the Central nine, looks like
a conner. In a recent game with Gallau-
Diet he held the Buff and Blue lads safe
for FIVE innings. With a little expert
ence, Buck win be a star.
Brewer, who will draw the hurting as
signment against Tech next Saturday
morning at American League Park,
should pitch a clever game. Although
rather small in stature. Brewer has good
control and good speed. Dave White has
taught him several tricks of the twirling
art. and says that Brewer win more than
make good.
Pete Lynch. who is coaching the Tech
aggregation, Is confident that his gang
will repeat. It will be remembered that
Lynch coached the Blacksmith last sea-
son, and while his team did not play
sensational ball, 1t took advantage of all
the breaks of the game, and trimmed
Western for the title. Lynch Ii sure
his boys will come back ana win.
Eddie McDonough. captain of the Cen
trail aggregation, has worked wonders
with his squad. Two weeks ago the
Central outfit was q misfit one In every
sense of the word, and now fairly
good team has been rounded into FORM
Oberlin on first looks like q conner. He
handles thrown balls with ease, while
he hits the old ball on the nose.
The Central team has been given q set
OF signals. which win surely aid the boys
in the scholastic series. In the Gallaudet
game the hit-and-run play was tried
several times and worked to perfection,
while the only double steal which was
attempted failed. % RenAall, the Bum

The work Of young "W alter johnson
in the box for Eastern last Friday only
goes to show what years experience
in high school baseball can do. Johnson
had every bit as much stuff on the ball
last year as he has been displaying this
year. but there seemed to be something
lacking.
The boys main trouble last year was
his lack of strength. Only in a few
games did he go the entire route. He
was a whirlwind for five innings and
then all of a sudden he would aviate
Control, fair speed, and a good curve
were always at his command. 1t Is safe
to say that the Capitol Hill school
would have made a far better showing
during the 1912 campaign If johnson had
worked true to form.
Bornet, playing shortstop for Business,
looks like he possesses the makings OF
a good man. The youngster put up an
unusually steady game for high school
kid. His throwing was exceptionally &C
curate for one of his stature and years.
For a man who has caught very few
games in his life, Worden Dyer, the
Eastern captain, can be proud of his
performance last Friday, Notwithstanding
the fact that eight Stenographers pilfered
on him. Several of his pegs to second
would have nailed his man with ease.
There seems to be q woeful weakness on
the Eastern nine in touching runners as
they come into the bag. Shinn had the
ball waiting for the base runner many
times, but it seemed that the would-be
stealer would always slide around the
bag and elude the ball in some way.
If the score Western rolled up on the
Gilmore Country School Saturday is to
be regarded, then the Georgetown lads
should experience little difficulty In over
coming the other high school teams It
is probable, though, that the Baltimore
school is far below the standard Of the
scools Of this city.
The return of Tom Fisher to the game
for the Capitol Hill boys had much to
do with their victory. Tom was a tower
of strength, both for his ability as lead
of man and for the confidence that he in
stiiled in his teammates.
Derrick and Wood are two dangerous
men for q scholastic pitcher to face when

New Albany. Ind. April 1s.-Roscoe
Miller, who pitched several seasons with
Detroit in the American League and
with New York and Pittsburg in the
National League, died today at his home
near Coryden. Ind, Of tuberculosis.
News item.)
News Of the death Of Roscoe Miller,
near Coryden. Ind, his home. will
awaken memories In the minds Of De-
troit fans who recall the somewhat SEN
sational rise and extremely rapid de-
cline Of pitcher who at one time prom
ised to be one of the brightest lumin-
aries Of major league baseball. Miller
had but one really successful season,
apart from good year in the minors.
His luck left him when he deserted the
club that had given him the first chance,
Detroit. and the only town in which
he ever completed a major league sea-
son.
1t was in 1901, the year that the Ameri-
can League invaded the East, that Mil
Ter gained recognition as a coming star.
Detroit carried a small pitching staff
that year, Miller, Siever. Cronin, and
Yeager beiEg its dependencies. with Mil
Ter the strongest highlander of the
lot. He had much to do with placing
the team third in the race. Detroit that
year was one of the best cards of the
circuit, because of its speed and its fight
ing qualities. II had Dillon. Gleason, FL
berfeld, and Casey on the infield and
Barrett. Holmes, and Nance in the gar
dens. Buelow and McAllister did most
of the catching.
Couldn't Bear Success.
Miller's success. in a way went to his
head. and he was easily susceptible to
advances that were made to him the
next year, when National League ennis
saries sought to induce him to Jump.
He was induced to believe that Detroit
was not using him as it should. and
when the Baltimore bIow-off came, most
Of the players Of that team going to
New York or to Cincinnati with Kelley.
Miller. who was at Washington with the
Tigers, was induced to join those who
jumped to the Giants. And that move
was the real end of his career
With New York he was never able to
do any of the pitching that had enabled
him to win games for Detroit. Before
the season was ended he was given his
release. Pittsburg claimed him, but his
stay with the Pirates was brief, and he
was not listed among those who finished
the year. That ended his career in the
majors. He went to the minors, and had
one season in which his work was 50
good that 1t looked as if he had come
back. But no one who was looking for
pitchers seemed to have faith in him.
He was left in the little leagues. Miller
became moody and respondent over his
failure to get back, took to dissipation,
and was soon on the road whose end
was reached yesterday, when tubercu-
losiS finally claimed him.

Berwind, Colo.-Three battles,
the hardest fought since the strike Of
coal miners in southern Colorado be-

killed, four union men wounded, two
badly; two children of non-union
men shot, one mine guard missing
and county marshal wounded, were
the casualties OF three fights, one
here, one at Tobasco and the other
at Hastings.
1t was in Hastings that the most
serious fighting took place and it
was there that the mine guard was
killed and the strikers wounded. The
mine camp had been hemmed in on
two sides by the strikers, who climb
ed the steep hills on either side Of
the canyon during the night and at
daylight began shooting into the
camp. Mine officials had heen notifi-
