Once again it is All-High base

hour to announce The Times

The champion Western High
Nine is honored with four Selec-
lions. namely Bill Edmonston at
second base; Addie Lawyer, at

base, and Lee Kushman. as

The remainder of the team
finds Gordon Bartoo, of Eastern,
at first base; Francis Coakley and
Gerald Tassa, of Roosevelt, in left
and right field respectively, Joe
Moran, of Central, in center, and
Jimmy Wise, of Tech, behind the
bat.
!. The series had it's unusual mo-
ments in keeping with all events
of high school nature. The great
est achievement, of course, was
the Western mines championship
victory-the first for the school
since 1920.
g The biggest surprise was the
complete collapse Of the Eastern
High nine-which always before
proved too tough to defeat for the
title.
The Lincoln ParkerS won only
one game in the series. That was
over Roosevelt in its debut. After
that losses were taken at the
hands Of Tech, Western and Cen
tral.
Coach Charlie Chief Guyon had
a capable collection Of ball tosSerS

the boys developed "erroritiS" to
such an extent that their miScueS

was not the hitter of Moran.
Tassa's Hitting Tells
And Tassa, his hitting won him
his place, though there were
several others whose fielding
topped his by yards, Joe Ciomei,
of Tech, was one of TasSa'S rivals,
as were Paul Borden and Jimmy
Middleton, of Western; Dude
O'Brien, of Eastern, and Walt
Merchant, of Tech.
Speaking Of Tech, the catching
post was won by Jimmy Wise.
His hitting was exceptional, while
his catching, though not as
smooth as silk, was sufficient to
pass the most critical. Wise got
the hit in the ninth which won
for Tech over Western in that
thriller which kept Western from
winning the title at that time. In
other games, Wise continued this
sort of hitting. driving across
runs that meant plenty to his
Tech teammates.
Wise had a couple of rivals for
the post. George Coakley, of
Roosevelt, was one; Bernie ASkin,
of Central, was another, and
Johnny Alfoginis, Of Western, a
third. But WiSe's hitting got
him the job.

game, 5 to 4. The team went into
the clash the underdog, largely
because of the presence Of Arnold
Heft, young left-hander, who had
pitched two previous alright
games.
But the Georgetowners laid into
the southpaw's shoots for IA base
hits and made them count in the
pinches, as for example, young
Addie Lawyers double in the ninth
with two on which won the game.
Lee KuShman, GOODNESS persona
fled, was the teams star pitcher.
He did not start the Central game,
but was withheld as a game
saver" should he be needed. He
was needed, all right, as Bob Raj
terry, Coach Cliff Moore'S starter,
faltered in the seventh after hay
ing held the CentraliteS up to that
time. Kushman, pitching easily,
had enough to stem the tide.
KuShman won three games in
the series and because of his ex-
cellent work is the logical choice
for the Times All-High team. Ar
mold Heft, because Of his SenSa-
tional efforts against Eastern and
Roosevelt, is an able No. 2 man.
EdmOnston Tops
The best player in the series
was Bill Edmonston. He hit vi
ciouSly and fielded his position as
well as any other second Sacker
in the series. Angelo Valenza, of
Central, and George Larrick. of
Tech, deserve mention, however,
for their splendid work.

His fielding was loose in spots,
but he went after everything and
many Of his errors were because
of this. He had some keen compe-
tition from George Hahn, of

Roosevelt. But he is placed on
the Times All-High because of his
splendid work in aiding Western
to the title.

Eddie McDonough, of Central

Lynham'S closest rivals.
There was no other player in
the series who cavorted around
first base as easily or as we'll as
Gordon Bartoo, of Eastern. This
lad had class written all over him
and his hitting was as good, if not
better than last year when he
won honors unanimously.
The selections of Francis Coax
ley, Joe Moran and Gerald TasSa
for the outfield are made only
after the closest sort of study.
Moran had the old class from the
very start of the series. And he
maintained it in every game, both
as a hitter and fielder. Francis
Coakley had this same sort OF
