The high school championship series
IS ecneduled to begin tomorrow. Cen
trail and Technical are to meet in the
opening contest. which will take place
at American League Park
1t looks very much as if the first con-
nict Will be between two of the strong
est clubs in the series, though none,
except Central, has shown a winning
tendency in its games in the prelimi-
nary season Many think Central will
come through with a victory. though
predictions made relative to a series in
high school base ball are nearly always
likely to be astray
Cox is pretty likely to be on the
mound for Central. and either Hird or
Showers will hurl for Tech. Cox Is a
veteran. being in his fourth year He
ought not to be bothered with the
stage fright which generally assails
the school hurlers on their first ap-
pearance in the SERIES. Hird and
Showers have sufficient ability to win
in any contest either pitches against
a school team il their talents be right
ly used.
