Central now seems to have "a chance
for the high school title. The defeat
Yesterday of Business b: Western. . to
5. again places the Blue and White in
III. race: and followers of that nine
claim that it is going to he tough
fight from now on for the other teams
TO keep it from winning out.
II was pointed out in this column
few days ago that Central was not Yet
ont Of the running. The Blue and
White is playing good ball consistently.
and now that il is pretty nearly on
even terms with Business again il
looks very much if the series is go
ing to develop into Very close affair.
Western and Central and .astern and
E.siness still have chance. with Busi-
ness still holding the lead by a very
slight margin.
If central wins its two remaining
contests. and Business is the victor
over Eastern the series viii be a tie
between the two former schools in
which event Centra, will probably COM
pete on almost an even basis with
Business in the play-off. The Stenosra-
over the Blue and White in the pre-
Nious contest and the latter s playing
good enough bail TO warrant a predic-
ton that ii would give Business aust as
close and hard y game as when they
met IN the first contest.

main responsible for the victory Of the
Car Department over the Union Station

connect with his delivery for only three
hits. Ten men Were struck out by him
Errors We're the feature of the game
between the ONO cl35 and Emmanuel.
The former made nine miscues and the

able work but they could hardly be ex-

poor playing behind them. II was almost

had more than two charged against him
