ANOTHER GOOD WIN
FOR CENTRAL LADS

In adding its third straight baseball
win Central High School has jumped
out into the lead for scholastic honors
and bids fair to carry through the
season as the best of the schoolboy
teams.
The defeat OF Alexandria High
School by O to yesterday served to
give Reds" SchRfer an opportunity to
prove himself about the bes' Of the
scholastic hurlerS TO date.
None OF the other schools are able
to show much in the way of pitchers
at present. Schafer, for an earfly start,
hung up an S-to-2 win over George
town Props recently. He allowed but
two scattered hits and famed fifteen
batters.
Yesterday Schafer came back, al.
lowed two hits and famed ten batters,
which Is an indication of his real
worth to the Mt. Pleasant lads.
The Central team appears to be
rounding into form. II is considerably
further advanced than any of the
other schools and from an early start
looks like the title winner again.
