EASTERN NINE PLAYS
CENTRAL TOMORROW

Eastern High Schools base ball
nine meets it's first big test In the
high school base ball series tomorrow
when Central is encountered at Will
son Stadium In what will be the third
game Of the league schedule for both
teams.
The Lincoln Parkers have had
clear sailing during the first half OF
their campaign for second straight
championship, but since Central and
Western are still to be met 1t is
likely that for the Eastern team the
worst is yet to come. Western en-
counters Coach Guyon's nine on
Tuesday Of next week.
With Western having "fopped' in
it's clash with Business after starting
off in great style with a win over
Central, E,astern's chances Of emerg-
ing with another title at the end of
the season appear bright. Central
also has been hitting the bumps late
ly and unless the team gets out of
its slump in short order Eastern S
sluggers are likely to run dway with
things tomorrow.
The Lincoln Parkers opened their
campaign two weeks ago with a lO-to-
win over Business. Following up
their advantage. they set Tech down
with tho short end Of an 1l-to-3 count
last Tuesday. John "Biggy' Quinn,
who hurled IN both games, will doubt
less start against Central.
Three games in addition 10 the title
series contest are booked for tomor-
row. Tech encounters st. Adams on
the Cathedral School diamond, West
ern goes TO Alexandria for clash
with Episcopal and Gonzaga Journeys
out to Garrett Park for the first game
of a home-and- home series with the
Georgetown Props. Western goes TO
Garrett Park on Wednesday seeking a
second win over the Props. Southwell
Brown scored a shutout over the Gar
rett Parkers. 4 to 0, in the first tilt.
Central also plays on Wednesday, en-
teitaining Baltimore City College.
