T OMORROW will be easily the
biggest day so far this Spring
for schoolboy athletes here
l. abouts.
Opening tests in both the
public high base ball and tennis cham
pionship series and the deciding en-
gagement in the indoor public hlgh
rife matches are the big features.
Central and Business meet in both
base ball and tennis, while the former
and Western clash on the range.
In the ball game Central and Busi-
ness will come to grips at wilson
stadium, starting at S:15 o'clock. The
Blue and White appears to have the
edge on the basis of it's showing IN
pre-series contests.
Coach S. r. Kimble announced to-
day that either Capt. Horace Duffey,
southpaw. or Harry Milburn, right
handler. would be on the firing line
for Central, with the chances favor
ing the former. Lefty Stevens, the
third member of the bang-up Blue
and White mound corps, probably VIII
be saved for the game with the Penn
Freshmen to be played Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock in Phillies Park
at Philadelphia. =,
Frank Blackstone doubtless will
catch for Central, and the remainder
Of the lineup is expected to be as
follows: CIV Yingling, first base; Ben
Burch. second; Bill Simmons, short;
Oliver Bits) Schriver, third; Willie
Wolf. Joe Leverton, Tom Trodden
and Eddie Ault are boys likely TO
hold forth in the outfield.
Coach Jack Collins had not decided
today, and may not know unt1l just
before game time, whom he VIII pace
on the rubber for Business. Randy
Shreye and Revelle Jones are most
likely starters, with the posslblllty
that Bernard Jones may get the can.
Jake. Lewis will catch, and the re-
mainder of the Stenog 1nf1eld IS eN-
pected to include Harry Slye, nrst;
Lester Singman, second; bernard
Jones, short, if he does not pltch' anu
Dick Keefer, third. Collins Is uIicSI-
tain as to the makeup OF ms out,ielu' l
He will pick it from Charley May
George Duryea, Navy" Newman
Randy Brady and Lash.
Business and Central We're polishing
TODAY for their meeting following an
energetic day Of preparation yester-
day. Business got in a fun aIter
Moons work yesterday, though a regu,
lar game was not played. Central
crossed bats with w. 3. H1bbs TOSS
ers following cancellation of its game
with Mount st. Joseph's by the bai-
timoreans. The Stenogs showed plenty
of snap in their drill, as did Central IN
vanduishing the Bankers, Az.
With a team made up, with the ex'
ception of one player, OF veterans, Cen
trail also rules a favorite 10 conquer :
R,1siness in the tennis clash set Tor
O'clock on the Sixteenth street reser'
voir courts, which will be the scene

face in the deciding rifle match.
Western conquered the Blue ana
White marksmen, who have long
reigned supreme in indoor shooting, in
their first meeting a few weeks ago
and will be out for another win. Vic
tory for Central would enable 1t to
tie Western for the title.
Other interesting attractions also
appear on tomorrow's big card. West
ern, that makes it's debut in the title
series May against Eastern, will
tackle the sturdy st. Johns team; the
fast Gonzaga nine will visit the Hill
top for tilt with the strong George
town freshmen, and Tech, that does
not show it's wares in the series until

was Eastern's second win in as many
days. Getting the lead in the third
inning the Lincoln Parkers were
never headed.
A homer by Chichester with two on
