Shay, the youthful Galahad twir-
Ter, won his second league contest
last evening, giving the Reading
tossers their first taste of defeat for
the season. The railroad team ap-
peared too confident after having
started the season with three
straight triumphs. Only once did
Shay show signs of weakening, when
the losers punched hits for total of
three runs. The Green SoX" went
right after the game from the start,
and secured a lead that Manager
Pressler's nine could not overcome.
The losing team played rather list
less ball the first three innings and
when they finally awoke, the game
was lost.
In addition to tossing superb ball,
the youthful Shay knocked out three
timely hits, two of which went for
two sacks. On the first double two
runs crossed the pan. His final
double scored another run that won
the game. 1t is likely that the lad
will be given a chance to do some
more hitting, by being placed in the
outfield when he is not in the box
for Manager Fritz.
in the second inning Bill Reiff
got the first of his trio of hits. Mil
Ter sacriced. Gilbert knocked out a
neat single. Shay's hit scored Reiff
|and Gilbert. The Galahads repeated
the trick in the next session. Co
baugh got a two-bagger. Fortna
went to first on an error, Cobaugh
going to third. Reiff drove in both
runners with clean single.
The Reading bunch pulled itself
together in the fifth frame, counting
a trio of tallies. With Platt retired
w. Euker tripled; McCurdy drove
out a double that scored Euker
Shartle followed with another three
Dagger that sent McCurdy across the
rubber On. Levans sacrice fly,
Shartle tailed.
The knights scored their win
ming run in the sixth when Wingard
doubled. Gilbert made an infield hit
and S',;.y'j double scored the decid-
ing tally. In the final half, the
losers tried hard to tie the score.
|Shartle got a life on Hollands error.
Gilbert had two passed balls, and
|Shartle landed on third. The latter
scored when Levan lifted a sacrifice

STAR ATHLETES
PICKED FOR MEET
Tech Boys Will Do Their Best
to Repeat Victory of
Last Year

Sixteen members of the Tech track
team will leave Friday afternoon at
2.47 for Pittsburgh, where they will
participate in the twelfth annual
intercollegiate and interscholastic
field and track meet held under the
auspices of the University of Pitts
burgh. The event will begin Satur-
day at 1890 at Schenley Oval.
Last year Tech sent team to the
Pitt meet for the first time, and
the Maroon lads ran away with the
pick of the teams from Western
Pennsylvania, as we'll as those from
Ohio. A majority of the athletes
are members of the freshman and
sophomore classes, and while the
squad is not as we'll, balanced as last
season, Tech stands good chances
because of the heavy scoring power
of several bright, particular stars in
the squad.
Carl Beck, who proved his worth
at Franklin Field several weeks ago.
is entered in eleven out of the twep-
ty-five events. While time will make
it impossible for him to take a whirl
at all of them, yet if given chance,
ii is likely that he could land a place
in each one of the eleven events
Beck is the bright spot in the list of
athletes whom Coach Hill has
groomed to bring home the honors,
supporting the Tech sophomore are
a number of clever athletes who are
not to be denied.
The entire squad that will make
the trip includes c. Beck, J. Beck.
w. Keane, Wilsbach, Garrett, Ma

Heagy, Elmer, Oscar Miller, Hinkle,
Shue, Ebert and Doyle. The entries:
