harrington After Another
d. ]. A. A. Championship
With spring-like weather prevail
ing in this section for the past sew
eral weeks. Coach Murray has been
giving his baseball candidates OF
Harrington High the uncover and
naCeS
with the expectations OF again Delng
near the top at the close OF the
season. 1t was Coach Murray VINO
led the local team to victory last
wear. and to the third D. 1. A. A.
championship in succession. Prom
inently displayed in the high school
auditorium are two championship
banners and a PLAGUE, which was
presented last year. The locals,
along with other schools in the
State, were hard hit at the close
of last season. The local battery,
Short and Hall, and their star hit
ter and third baseman, Locates,
were lost to the team by gradua-
ton. Harrington is also Off the
team account of his having quit
school. There are just a few regu-
lars left from last years team, and
Coach Murray and Capt. Taylor
will have quite a task to pick a
winning combination. Moore, p.-2b;
Lord, p-cf.: G. Taylor, 2b-c; M. Col
Inns. rf-c; Burgess, 2b; w. Taylor,
1b. and R. Day, p, were members
of last years team, but most OF
them served as substitutes ana
should be able to hold regular posi-
tiOns this year. Lord fractured an
ankle early in the season and was
lost TO the team. He seems to have
completely recovered and should
give a good account OF hlmseI Ihls
year. Galloway, Butler, Mitchell,
w Holloway, B. Holloway, c. Col
Inns and Rawding are all rockies
hut reports from the diamond say
that some of them are sure to make
fast inielders. Lane and Chapman
two other rockies, will try to land
outfield positions. Several candl-
dates aspire to fill the shoes OF
Short on the receiving end, VINO
graduated last year. Of the wealth
of material for this position, ray
lor is a husky lad and will likely
get first call for the posltlon, ac-
count of his ability to hit them
hard. Coach Murray is well pleas
ed with his showing so far. Collins
is another lad we'll over five feet
who can either catch or play the
Outfield. It is too early to predict
who will land regular positions but
it is thought the locals will have
enough strength to give a good ac-
count of themselves. Manager Har-
rington has arranged quite hard
schedule and in addition it is likely
several practice games will be sand
wiched in between the regular sche-
dule. March 25, Harrington at
