several, among them being Joco

a price on this pair.
Horace Phillips was manager. but
as he was then on the sick tist tnar
soon took him away from the base
ball field. there was no one TO handle
the case. william A. Mimic, who

to st. Louis to get a price on this
pair of players.

CENTRAL MEETS.

tie Manual Trainer in
Scholastic Classic.
BY JOHN Il. GoETz.

What is expected to be the biggest
scholastic basketball game of the
season will be staged tomorrow after
noon In the Catholic University gym.
when Tech, undefeated this year In
the high school series. meets CentraPs
basketers in the first game of the
double-header In the night-cap West
ern meets Eastern.
Tech and Central have first-class
fives. Coach Apple, of the Manual
Trainers, is confident that his team
will come out on top in the battle
with the Central quint. Tech has
combination that is hard to beat. They
have Hutchinson, forward, who Is
rated as one of the best shooters in
the scholastic series. Capt. Gosnell.
a good floor player in the other for
ward position: Leohler, the big center,
In the middle of the court; Parker
and GUIDE, who are a mighty capable
pair of guards.
Central Looks Good.
Central basketers have been playing
at top speed and are in fhst-class con-
dition for tomorrow's afternoon game.
Lemon, the leading point scorer in the
Scholastic League is one of the fast
est forwards in the series, while lille
man. his court partner. is also very
fast man on the floor. and is very
good shot, although he has not
shown his speed in recent games,
but will be watched in to-
morrow's contest. Wood is COM
ing along fine, his floor work hav-
ing improved greatly in his last few
games, while Dick Newly and Walker.
in the guard positions. have been do
ing some fast work, and will aim to
keep Hutchinson and Gosnell from
registering baskets from the floor.
Coach Metzler. of Central. thinks his
team will defeat the Blacksmiths. as
his men have been going at fast clip
lately and are in shape to tie up the
leadership.
If Central wins tomorrow contest,
a tie will eist between the two teams,
and another game will be played to
decide the championship; but, on the
other hand, il Tech wins. 1t will give
the Manual Trainers undisputed claim
to the championship of the scholastic
series of 1890. This will be the best
game of the season. as Tech and Gen.
