TWO games in the high school cham
pionship series are to be played today.
Technical meets Business in the first
and Western and Central will be opposed
in the other. The contests are to take
| place at American League Park. The
| first will begin at o'clock.
This will be Techs first appearance in
| the school series. If the Manual Train
ers do as well as they have in some of
their practice games they will show a
well balanced nine. The boys have been
we'll coached and they play together bet
ter than the average scholastic team.
Besides this Tech probably has a pitcher,
Showers. who will prove more effective
than any other man in the series. pro-
vided he works up to his average stand
ard. The youngSter has enough stuff to
win from any scholastic nine in this
section. and If he gets any kind of sup
port. and does not so to pieces just be-
cause it is a high school game, he is
certain to pitch good ball.
OF course, Tech may not make the
showing it is expected to, but there is no
question about it being represented by a
well balanced team. There are no stars
on the list of players. but all are fairly
capable. Roberts and Mccarthy in the
outf1eld are two youngsters who nave
good positions at the plate, make the ball
come over and are liable to hit. They also
field well. Ochsenreiter is a clever in
fielder. runs the bases better than the
average player. and fields capably. Steed
catches we'll. and this combination, with
good pitching, is just what is necessary
to win games especially when 1t is con-
sidered that the other players are almost
as capable as those mentioned.
Business will again have kelly IN the
box, and it seems rather hard for Tech to
be compelled to face one of the best OF
the hurlers in its first contest Kelly
ought to pitch whole lot better ball
than he did in that first game against
Central. when he barely got away with
the long end Of the score. II Tech beats
him today, though. the Manual Trainers
will be the one best bet for the champion
ship.
Central and Western meet in the second
game. Adams will be in the box for
Western. while it is reported that Cox is
again to work for the Blue and White.
Central has already lost one contest. and
Western tied the only one in which 1t has
appeared. Eastern having been played to
9-to-9 score.
The game between Western and Central
does not seem to be nearly as important
as that in which Tech and Business will
figure The contest between the latter
two undoubtedly has a direct bearing On
Lne championship, WHllc IL iS Hot piouduic
that either Central or Western will be
able to win out.
The Maryland Aggies defeated yester-
day the best nine they have played this
season There is no question about the
University of Georgia having one of the
strongest college teams in the east or
south. 1t lost Yesterday to the Farmers
by decisive score, because the. latter
played about the best article of ball they
have ever put up.
The feature of the contest was the work

tice. he had not been used in a regular
game until yesterday. He got away with
