Western and Business play today in
the high school base ball series. The
former has already appeared in one
contest having defeated Eastern de-
cisively, but Business is making its
1917 debut. The game is to take place
on Georgetown Field and begin at $3.50.
Davidson will be back on the slab for
Western. Something of what he ac-
composites against Business may be
used as a criterion of what may be ex-
pected when he goes against Central s
well balanced combination. Davidson
pitched fine ball against Eastern. but
probably viii find himself opposed to
somewhat better batters when he faces
he .lographers.
Centrars game yesterday with Tech
meal proved conclusively just what APP
parently was evident from its play in
the practice contests earlier in the
Spring-that it is about the best bal
anced combination in the series. The
Blue and White won so decisively-11
to from the Manual Trainers that
there was no comparison between the
two teams. More effective batting, Su-
perior pitching and fielding that was
way above the brand produced by the
losing players sum up, IN snort, the
factors which gave to the Centralites
the victory in what to them was the
most important struggle of the series.
Right in the opening inning Central
practically put the game ION ice," scor-
ing three runs. In the second it added
another, in the sixth counted six times
and then got another runner over the
plate in the eighth. Tech was able to
accomplish very little on the bases.
Eight of it's men reached first base. but
only one of them got to home plate.
Inability to hit consistently against
the offerings of Schafer, who did the
pitching for Central, was the main rea-
son for Techs failure to score more
runs. The Manual Trainers could not
connect with the delivery of the left
handler to any extent, and two or three
of the hits made by them were scratch.
Eleven of the losing players went down
and out on strikes Schafer gave evil
dence last year of exceptional ability
for scholastic pitcher; this season in

and Smiths error in letting the ball
trickle between his legs. Shaw pitched
creditably yesterday. No two of the
