SERIES WILLOPEN
WEEK FROM TODAY
Eastern and Western in First
Diamond Clash for High
School Title.

One week from today Eastern and
Western take the field at the old
Union League Park grounds for the
first game of the annual high school
baseball championship series.
The list OF games has been cut
from twenty to ten games this sea
son, a return to the old standard be
ing thought necessary on account of
the failure to obtain grounds up TO
late in the year.
Teams Are Backward.
With one possible exception all of
the teams are backward. A survey
of the five teams, Central. Technical,
Western, Business, and Ec Itern would
lead the observer to the discovery
that the material is not up to stand
ard.
1t has been a difficult matter for
the coaches to replace the sterling
players that went out last June. One
or two teams have been literally
swept off the boards by graduations.
Tech has lost Hird, Shewalter, Ber'
ems, McCarty, Eiseman, Stephenson,
and Strawn. and Coach Fury has been
up against IL in replacing these vet
erans.~ Western was harder hit than
any of the others. Peyton, Whelchel,
Peine, Peck, Sargent, Sinclair, and
w. o'Brien all went out in June of
last year.
Eastern's famous battery, .Tomlin
and Flaherty, which virtually won
the pennant for the Capitol Hill lads
is lost for this year. Eastern has
a number of youngsters. however, who
seem to be getting>together.
Business lost Wassaman, Buck
Wise. and Hawk, three most valuable
players. Ralph Wise, Gerard, Payne,
Jones, and Towbes seem to be fitting
in in fine style for the Stenographers.
Central Retains Many.
Central retained many players from
last year. Both Gottlieb and Schaeff-
er, who did the hurling last year, are
on hand and are rated as the best
pitchers in the schools. Schaeffer' S
performances this spring have led
Coach Metzler to give him the choice.
White, Gottlieb, Macdonald, Bailey,
and Cooke are retained from last sea
son. In addition Central has several
newcomers who are making good with
will. The series is a short one this
season. each team meeting the other
but once, and Central has so far got
ten away in its practice games with
a victory in every start.

tennial. which has scored clean sweeps
in nearly all of its last dozen matches,
will step in and grab the title.
Lafayette Off Form.
Lafayette rolled below form last
night, none of its members going at
top speed. Pop Wells put up a valiant
battle to win the first game for his
team, but his 123 score was just five
pins too little to bring victory. st.
Johns took the game, 493 to 4S9, and
won the second $50 to 494. Lafayette
took a brace in the final, when st.
Johns fell down. and had little
trouble winning, 535 to 446. Shulman
was St Johns best roller with games
of ia, 125. and 9s.
Victory for Station r.
Station F gained a clean-cut victory
over Station B in the Postoffice
League, taking three games with all
scores above 500. Ellis rolled well for
the winners, and Hsnacher perform
ed capably for the losers.

ent location,
Congressman Charles H. Brand of
the Eighth congressional district, and
Robert L. Palmer, the well known
Georgia railroad engineer, succeeded
in transferring Harris to the aviation
corps, and Mr.. Palmer has been in
Washington several days in behalf OF
Harris. Col. Brand and Mr.. Palmer
haven't doubt that young Harris will
revelutionize aeronautics and startle
the army experts in his invention.
The machine which Harris has in
vented, when complete, will weigh less
than 100 pounds, but is capable of
travelling in excess of seventy-fiEe
miles an hour 1t takes flight from
speed of less than fifteen miles an hour
which is not obtained by the motor
or engine, but by the fleet foot of the
operator The operator of the ma
chine is supposed to take running
start, Just as the operator of a motor
cycle, and then the machine scars in
to the air majestically to unknown
heights. The aerial roadster" is so
light and so easily handled that it
alights after fight, with the greatest
ease, thus obviating one of the most
difficult features of aviation.
The inventor received the inspiration
to construct a machine b ystudying the
flight of buzzard
When the machine is once in the air,
il is operated by motor that runs
propellers to obtain the required speed.
The motor was built by Harris him
self. 1t generates tremendous power
and weighs but little.
When Congressman Brand was inter-
viewed concerning this machine, he
said: THE officers of the signal corps,
interested in aeronautics, believe that
Harris invention will revolutionize fly
ing. if it will accomplish what he sin
cerely believes for it, Continuing, he
said: "They were only too glad to
order the young mans transfer to Fort
Monroe"
Harris invention is the subject of
much talk, especially in his home town,
Greensboro, and the citizens believe
that Harris will be admitted into the
parlors of fame and become as famous
as the Wright Brothers, who first flew
into the heavens.
