BY BRYAN MORSE.

Technical and Eastern get TO-
gether tomorrow afternoon at Amer
ican League Park for the fourth
game Of the high school champion
ship baseball series and indications
point to Tech victory. A defeat
by Business and the loss of several
good players has robbed Eastern OF
q good chance at the title while the
victory of Western over Central has
given Tech a new lease OF life.
Eastern is likely to spring a sur
prise, as the Capitol Hill team de-
feated st. Albans to 1 on Tuesday
and presented a formidable lineup.
Eastern has refused to lose heart IN
the face of adverse circumstances
and Coach Kimbel is determined to
come through.
Shields or Dyer will perform on the
mound for the Capitol Hill lads, While
Showers or Hird will be given chance
for Tech, AS Showers is getting along
nicely at first, and Hird Is delivering IN
fine shape right along, the choice OIL
Hird for box honors seems logical
A win for Eastern will pull the team
out Of the cellar. while a win for Iech
will even honors with Central Inc
