was charged against them. That was

The championship high school series
win begin Tuesday. provided incie"en.
weather conditions do not interfere. a
double-header will take place the OPEN
ine day, Central being scheduled 10
nneef BUSINESS, while Eastern VIII nave
Western as its opponent.
There is hardly any doubt tnat ohe
of the most closely contested series
witnessed in recent years will be nao-
II seems that there is none Of the teams
which stands out in contrast 10 tne
others, and all appear to be OF ABOUT
the same strength There are several
positions in which one or more OF the
mines are more effective than the otheSs'
but the all-round power of the others
appears to make up for any deficiencies
they may have in one position.
To look at the series from an abso-
lutely unbiased standpoint. 1t is not
probable that anybody would dare 10 pro,
claim a winner. Such a prediction would
be nothing more than conjecture. This
would be true not only because OF the
apparently even strength Of the teams,
but for the reason that the high school
ard in the championship games. Take.
for instance, the Business High nine OF
last year. 1t had material good enough
to win the championship. and before the
series began there were those who pre-
dicted an out-and-out victory for 1t, and
none so much as thought that Eastern
would do more than fight 1t out with
Central or Western as to which would
keep out Of the last BERTH But the un-
expected happened. Western and East
ern both came to the front. the latter
winning the title. while Business slumped
and played miserable ball in comparison
to what 1t should have DONE
This year Business has undoubtedly
the best scholastic pitcher in the series.
II Is hardly likely that any man will
be brought out who can show better
form than Kelly is capable of at his
best, and yet that by no means makes
it certain that Business will even be
in the running for the honors. Kelly
last year until the regular series start
ed. and then he failed to come through.
That may be the case again, though
Kelly is undoubtedly wiser for his ex-
periences of year ago.
II the teams put their full strength
in the field they will be evenly bal
anced This is not to say that there will
not be one team which will not win all
four games, as that often happens, but
it Is q surety that the games as a
whole will be much more closely con-
tested than in 1913.
Business has a fairly good infeld. but
it is hardly up to the standard Of that
of Tech. but on the other hand the Busi-
ness nine has as its best bet an ex-
ceptionally good scholastic pitcher. Kelly,
IL he comes through as is expected, and
as he should. There is not a great deal
of difference in the outfeld of these
two teams. though IL there is any mar
gin in this respect it should go to Tech.

Strangely enough Shanks struck out the
other two timer he went to the plate,
but Milan hit the ball we'll every time up.

When Milan tore across the field in the
eighth with two on and caught Caldwelrs 8
line drive, he undoubtedly saved his team
lot of trouble. Had that hit gone safe
two runs would surely have scored and
Caldwell himself might have made the
circuit Milan Is fielding in his old-time
form this spring. and up to date he is
not finding any trouble handling ground
hits which come Into his territory.
First Baseman Williams, the Texan
who has been doing such good work for
the Yankees this spring, is indisposed
and could not play today. Pitcher Caid-
we'll, who has some reputation as a
hitters, was put in his place and gave
a very good account of himself. though
johnson struck him out twice with men
on the bases. Caldwell came up in the
first round with two on and tanned, ana
again in the third he was up when two
were on, and he came near breaking up
the game when he hit the first ball
pitched on line with two on IN tne
eighth.
Cook. an outfelder, has bad leg, and
will not be able to play ror Cnance
for several days.
Grifth's warning to his players not
to take things easy while here because
Yankees are not going to cut any figure
seems to have had the desired effect,
for the players hustled harder today
than they did In any OF the games IN
Nationals had last season was to take
it easy against teams which they
figured they outclassed. and no doubt
several contests Which %spe miSha
have been won had the players gone In
and hustled as II they were playing
championship aggregation.
Howard shanks' drive along the left
deld foul line in the ninth inning looked
for all the world like an easy two-bag-
ger, but Walsh, who was formerly with
the Athletics. is a fielder of more than
ordinary ability. and he hustled the ball
to second base in time to stop Shanks
from sliding in there.
The seventh inning started in man
Of more runs. but the Yankees showed
that they. too. knew a thing or two
about defensive work. Mcbride started
this inning with a clean hit to center
and johnson followed this by pushing
bunt past Heating, which he beat to first
base. There was none out. and 1t
looked as II there was a good chance.
But Moeller. in an effort to sacrifice,
struck out, and to the joy Of the crowd
Sweeney made a perfect throw to second
Of course, ended the chances for runs.
When Keating had himself in hole
in the first inning he seemed determined
to get himself out of it, and came near
turning the trick. With two on he struck
out Gandil. considered the most danger
Gus man in q pinch. and then in trying
to fool Morgan he walked him. He
started out on Shanks as II he were go
ing to prove easy. shooting two strikes
over on him before he had time to realize
that he was at the plate. Howard then
