All-Star Base Ball Team
From High School Players
BY n. C. BYRD.

The high school base ball
series, which came to an end last
week with the winning of the
championship by Eastern, de-
veloped more than the usual
quota of good players. Not one
OF the five teams failed to number
in its roster at least two men who
stand a good chance to make
good Jon college diamonds. In
fact, several men played who
would have done credit to col
legiate ball even during the past
season. This being true, it can
we'll be realized that no great
difficulty is experienced in the
selection of a strong all-high
nine.
The main problem in picking
a team of men supposed to be
the best players in all the
schools is to get the most capable
of several good men. In some of
the positions three or four of ex-
ceptional worth were to be found,
vet only one can be chosen for
any nine. 1t naturally follows
from this that there will be diff
ferences of opinion as to the fit
ness of each different player for
that position, according to the
personal feelings of those most
interested. A calm, impartial
survey of the situation, though,
leads one to believe that the most
effective combination that could
be got together is that selected
herewith.
