~HOUGH the public high
school base ball teams to-
morrow will enter the final
week prior to the start OF
the championship series April 70
when Western and Tech are to
meet, it is still difficult to get an
accurate line on the relative
strength of the five teams. All
save Business have seen action,
however, and the StenogS are to
open activities this week as the
other mines continue play.

Spring, apparently has another club
that will show strongly in the series,
though Coach Charley Guyon has sew
eral rough spots to iron out before ne
is thoroughly satisfied with his nine.

Catholic University freshmen. to 5,
but by no means appeared weak Benny
Spigel, Tech moundsman, held the
Cardinal yearlings to three bingles.

Rauber for the first time. promises TO
do considerably better than was at
first expected Despite that his team
is made up almost altogether of boys
of limited experience it has looked

great deal, but the Red has several
players of undoubted ability and may
improve as the season progresses.

have more than a fair team. Business
lacks pitching strength.
