Having a Representative
on Mythical Team.

3, CHARLES w. SWAN.

With four of tie five schools repre-
sented on The Washington Herald's 1914
An-High team, q representative scholas-
tic aggregation makes its bow today.
Western is the only school not having
a player picked for berth on the myth
cal outfit. although the Red and White
had several of the best ball tossers in
the league In the game. but In every
case there was a man on some other club
who played just little better ball, and
was awarded the place.
Starting with the pitchers. we find every
club well fortified. Business had the
best pitcher, as far as real pitching
ability is concerned. In Ed Kelley. but
he failed to play the entire series, and
did not do his best work In the league
games Western, In Jack Adams, had
q hurler far above the average high
school finger. but ne was a little wild
and lost two games Central worked
Walter Cox. perhaps the best fve-inning
but Cox lacked the strength to finish out
a game. In Lefty Showers. Tech had
a corking good southpaw pitcher. a boy
who possesses a lot of natural ability,
but he, too. was hooked up with losing
club and is numbered among the miss
ing on the All-High selection.
This leaves worden Dyer, captain of
Easterns championship club. as the only
hurler to pick. Dyer pitched great ball.
going into the first game with the bases
full, and tanning two batters. and con-
tinued pitching good ball in the three
remaining games, winning them all.
Dyer q Leader.
Dyer is one of the best ball players
local high school fans have ever seen
In action. He is not only a pitcher. but
can catch and play the infield or outfield
with equal success He Is an ideal lead
er. a natural fighter, and is always in
the game. Dyer is not only picked to
pitch for the ALI High team but is also
named as the captain on The Herald's
1914 combination. Dyer hit well, combins
the rival hurlcrs for an average of 80
in the four games.
Bullet" Steed, Techs scrappy little re-
ceiver. is the logical choice for the back
stopping honors. Steed Is a big Lacquer
in comparison to some of the schooiboy
catchers, he is always in the game. a;
heady little field general and a good hit
ter Steed smacked the Spalding for a
mark of .33s for four games. Steed would
make great running mate for worden-
Dyer. !
Eastern, in: Lou Gosbel. showed classy
receiver, but GoebeI only worked in two.
games, whereas Steed caught eeery game
In the series. Goebel is good hitter,
clouting .3ss for two games. while he is
really the best throwing catcher of the
bunch. This was Goebers. first year in
high school baseball circles, but next
year. with a good start Goebel should
make them all hustle for the All-High
job.
Jshassa Dses Well.
Another catcher who deserves world
of credit for his work Is johnson, Of
Central When Fleming, Centrars first
string catcher, was injured a few days
before the opening game Of the season,
Johnson had never caught game OF
ball. He went behind the bat at Coach |
orders, and caught clever
game of ball. His inexperience proved
the only drawback to his work, as he hit |
weIl, getting an average Of .2S7 for the |
season.
