The lofticst of the local wal riors of the chalkcd court is DwiG lt Harrison Hall, who towers six fCrt and four inches into the atm0=- phere. The shortest, Dclmont Wool rev Baker. can boast of a m 'c four feet and ten inches of height.
 Haii, q sophomore, is q nlcmb1r oi the varsity team and is conccdo T. to be one of the finest pivot ma i1 high school court circles H. was one of Coach "Tommy' Mon L. hans stellar moundsmen during th2 baseball season and participated with the football eleven at either d halfbacli or tackle position. Hall, who was graduated from the Feri- eral Hill school in '27 and is now only l6 years of age, weighs in ,he neighborhod of 190 pounds.
 Baker. a sophomore, considers himself too small 10 try a tackle position with the gridders but has hopes of becoming a second Albi~ Booth within the next few yeas. Baker. a graduate of the south Slio school in the class of '2S and no < only fl years of age, was born '1 Bristol on New Years bay, 19lG.

 Baker is kept busy. when not toss ing the leather, about as officiI scorckeeper of the Bristol City ba', lsetball league. When playe walks to the scorers table to repor he notices nothing more than pencil protruding into the air. I'll, remainder of the prominent official form is hidden behind the polish2 ! table.
 Hall is the son of ATr. and Mr. Dwight H. Hall of 131 Summc street. He was born here on Marci 5. 1913. Baker is the son of Mr. an, Mrs. Delmont Baker of f Laur, place. Dwight H. Hall. Sr.. is chair man of the board of directors of u,, new defunct City Deposit and Dis count Co.
