Eastern has an enga cement with

Saturday. On the same day Central
is to entertain Baltimore City College
here. The aforementioned game may
be moved forward, for the Blue and
White will not be able to use its
stadium that day because Of the
American Legion meet scheduled
there.
Unless Central shows a decided inn
provement over its play in practice
games when 1t faces Eastern this
week. It is going to find 1t anything
hut easy to forge ahead to another
high school base ball championship.
So far the Blue and White has been
none too steady. while Western. BUSH
ness and Tech. which have made their
titular series debuts. are somewhat
stronger than expected. Each Of these
sturdy teams has an abundance OF
punch and il liable to launch a hearty
attack any minute during an engage
ment. Eastern, apparently too weak
to consider as q title contender. is
scrappy enough to cause trouble
should It's opponent attempt to loaf.
