high school with the beautiful spring
weather now coming on. The first prac.
tice of the local school was held
Friday, March 30, at South Side park
with all candidates ever ready to be.
gin the national game. 1t is hoped
that more candidates will come out
this year, which with the coaching oil
Moore, will help to make wonderful
baseball machine. q
One great problem will have TO be
solved this year which has not been
the case In former years and that Is to
develop several reliable pitchers. So
far there is not first class pitcher In
school, but with much training and
practice Coach Moore will probably
be supported by one real pitcher be.
fore many games have been played.
The receiving end will not be a
difficult question: for the school Is
well stocked with catchers whom all
have had much experience at the game.
This place will be much fought for ano
at no time will the one who lands the.
job have chance to ease up. The in.
field will be well cared for with most
of the regulars back in the school.
Such as Turkovich third base, Mills
short stop, Fleming and Wilson out for
infield positions. First base will prove
bone OF contention among the hust.
ling bunch of candidates. There Is
host of candidates trying for outfield
births and with few more weeks of
the balmy days the spectators Of this
city will have the chance to see one
of the best teams in the high schools

Track.

The track men have not yet had a
chance to get out for practice but have
provided several days in which they
were able to get in telling blows OF
Coach Moore. The material while
very plentiful, is as yet of doubtful
quality as Coach Moore has not yet
lad chance to fully test 1t out.
Another week OF good weather will
put the park in good shape, 80 that
the candidates will be out in large
numbers and give the spectators a
chance to observe the merit Of the can
dIdates. 1t is hoped that the team will
be able to make the trip to Charleston
again this year where they made q
very creditable showing at the state
meet.
