Central Diamond Athletes to Turn Out Tomorrow or
 Next Day

Provided the warm weather continues. ana evidences of spring fail to dwindle away, Coach Burbage of Central High School will trot his diamond athletes out tomorrow or next day to begin training for the coming season. Coach Jess made Q statement to this effect yesterday after neon,
 Central should have a wonderful High school baseball team this year. Eight veterans of last season are back, in cluding three pitchers. catcher, two infielders and two outfielders.
 Jake Levvy will probably come out for baseball again this year. Levvy held raost of the state high school teams at his mercy last season, and is in excel- lent form to do so again this season. T!is younger brother, Babe Levvy, Is also good twirler, and will probably be a member of the Crimson pitching staff Charlie Afford can pitch very credl- table game when there IS need, and Bur haze intends to use him in the box some of the time. probably placing him in the outfield during other games. Afford is too valuable a player to be out of the line up, as much as regular pitcher usually is. Charlie is a hard hitter and connects with the ball at timely moments. Dan Gaylord, who subbed under Tooy Robinson, now at Howard College last season, is back for the backstop posi- ton this year. Gaylord is good high school catcher
 "Chet" Goldstein. who played varsity first base last season. is back, while Fly men Goldstein, "Chets' twin brother. is out again for third. Both boys are good 1fielders
 Phenie Crane and Willard Reynolds gre again out for the eutheld. rotn played good ball last season. and should make good showing this season.
 Coach Burbage is feeling rather good ov CT the outlook for the coming season, and feels certain that the Crimsons will be able to hold their own in baseball this year.
 The first game of the season will prep ably be played next week against Marion Military Institute at Marion.
