TECH HIGH WINS
FROM PREPS

Tech High School is today vic

Eastern High School is loser to
Dewitt Prep. Tech defeated the
Blue and Gray outfit, s to Q, in a
game which timely hitting was q
factor. Eastern dropped a nstless
game to Dewitt, to /.
Tech displayed unusual base.run-
ming, which accounted for most Of
the runs, considering the fact that
Tech registered eight hits while
Georgetown was close by with
seven.
Georgetown was trailing In the
second inning when Tech pushed
over five runs. In the first frame
Georgetown scored two runs. They
were held scoreless until the
seventh, when they scored again.
Forrest. Emsor and Young worked
on the mound for Tech, each toss
Ing them up for three innings.
Forrest was hit hardest, allowing
six hits. Emsor held his opponents
hitless while Young permitted q
lone single.
Dewitt found Eastern unprepared
in the pinches. The mound work
Of Kroson and Kennedy's triple in
the fourth inning killed off Eastern's
chances.
Dewitt counted IN the first inning
but Eastern evened matters when
Shapiro scored on O double by
Captain Rankin.
Coach Guyon used twenty-seven
players in the game, while Dewitt

old-ald the game is moving

But what started out to talk

club that we've seen most of.

can't see why. I've watched them
win and I've watched them lose and
they look to me like q considerable
BAN club. They can hit, and they
have q great defense. They have q
lot OF pep-and they were good
enough last year to win a pennant
ana 4 world series. When q club
does that you can't count 'em out
so easily.
Another thing about the
Cardinals. I look for frankie

about their fight over Hornsby.
Understand I'm not underesti-
mating Rogers. \ He's q great

too-and he's faster than
Hornsby ever was.
Then when you throw Jimmy
Ring into the bargain It's no ciach
that McCSraw got any the best of
the trade. Jimmy had sore arm

and didn't do much. But In the
games he has worked against the
Yankees he has looked like
million dollars. Pitching of the
sort he showed us will win a lot Of
ball games In any league. And
figure the Cardinals got a lucky
break when they got him.
Then speaking Of kid ball
