drill was annexed by Captain Belch-
er, who is the same person rs Randy
Belcher, second baseman, when Ike
Macdonald is not playing. The Blue
baseball players took the Business
game the day after the competitive
drill was won, rested merely twenty
four hours, and then wrested the
baseball title from Tech on George
town Field by Z to 4, while 5000
people looked on.

Western will have about the same
number of performers. and while West
ern and Tech will have several high
class performers, Centrals better bal
anced aggregation will stand 1t in good
stead.
