you that King Kel was about the best ball player

Like Schaefer, Old King Kel was great kidder.
He would announce to the fans that the next time be

Who are the favorites for the scholastic
baseball title this spring?
This is the popular topic for discussion
in schoolboy ranks right now. with bas-
ket-ball all but under cover. and baseball
the next sport on the calendar
This question is rather difficult to an
swer, with the array OF talent in the
schools unusually well divided. when COM
pairing championship teams with others
in the race during previous years.
Preparations are being made by each Of
the schools 10 start outdoor work as soon
as the weather permits, while Tech and
Central are already holding indoor prac-
+tice for the battery candidates, and other
work of the same nature is expected to be
inaugurated by Business. Eastern, and
Western this week
There is little doubt but what the Sc
ries will assume its regular length-that
of one game between each teaur-rather
than what was proposed by Coach Dog
gett, of Eastern, who came out with the
statement that a longer series would be
far more desirable in every way. This Is
acknowledged by all followers in the
