The eligibility of Al Wahle, the
Newtown High School student. to play
baseball with his school team has been
questioned and protest made TO the
baseball committee Of the high school
games committee. Wahle received
short trial with the New York Ameri
can League team.
Although Wahle did not receive a
contract from the Yankees, he never
theless had his travelling and other
expenses paid on his way to and during
his stay at Savannah. This practically
makes it impossible for him to compete
against the local school mines.
He has been protested by a Brooklyn
school, which has sent a formal COM
plant to the arbitration board of the
Public Schools Athletic League. 1t is
probable that a special meeting will be
called this week TO decide whether or
not he can play. Wahle reported for
position on his school team last week
and was placed on the second team,
where he played third base.
The fight for the so-called schoolboy
baseball championship will begin this
