IN TODAY'S GAMES.

Time for Schools in Baseball
Struggles.
BY BRYAN MORSE.


Several of the best baseball players
in the high school series are closing
their care~rs on the diamond in to-
days games at American League
Park and Georgetown Field, where
Tech and Central and Western and
Eastern are playing in the final
games of the title series.
Techs veteran pitcher and captain.
DENLY Hird. is making a last stand
against Central. Hird Is the only
regular who is making a getaway at
Tech after today's game. Molly"
Roberts. Centrars captain; Joe Belch-
er, one Of the most capable shortstops
In these series, and Harold selden,
Centrars third sacker. are making
their Anal appearance in Central uni
forms.
Flaherty. Shields, Lanahan. and
Boteler. Eastern's fine players. are in
tho last year in the Capitol Hill
school, and have done their best to
put the Eastern team in the lead for
the title race.
Western is losing Sergeant. WHEEL
chel, Peck. Peine. Ansley, and Pey-
ton. all regular players, with the ex-
ception Of Ansley. None of the teams
in the series will lose as many play
ers as Western.
Today's games are the last of the
twenty game series. A win for Gem
trail and Western would tie up Cen
trail and Eastern for the title. East
ern Is now leading by a full game,
and a win will definitely decide the
title and Princeton Cup in favor Of
the Capitol Hill boys
The selection of Cotton" Cissell MS
captain of Central's tennis team for
next season Is an unusual honor in
view Of the fact that Cisseli is also
basketball captain for next year Gem
this season. and is entitled to the school
boy title.
It 10 more or less interesting to note
the fact that II Eastern wins today's
baseball game all championships will
be equally distributed. Technical won
the football title. Western won the
and tennis. while Eastern is in line for
the baseball honor,
