harrington High Loses Final

Harrington High Loses FINAL
Harrington High closed the high
school baseball season here last Fri
day afternoon after playing the
worst baseball this year then ever
before. The poor showing of the
team can be laid mostly to two
things. The championship team of
several seasons was partly wrecked
by graduation, then more reverses
when Legates, the star pitcher, was
not allowed to play account of diff
culties with his studies. Then to
TOP all of their misfortunes, it seems
to many of the local baseball fans
that Harrington was given a bum
deal, when the school authorities
declared La Roux Wright ineligible
account of a four-year rule. Wright
was considered the best all around
PLAYER on the team. After this break
against them the rest of the team
merely played out the schedule with
the result that they only won two OF
their six games. Though they lost
Fridays game, 1T was the best
game of the season. The locals
played snappy baseball behind Tay-
lor, who was serving a fine variety
of pitching. He allowed the visitors
hut eight scattered hits and didn't
permit them to score until the fourth
inning. Errors figured in most of
the run getting.
Score by innings:
