PITCHING RATTLE LOOMS FOR CENTRAL WI
Teams 10 P|dy
Tomorrow at
Roosevelt
BY GARRETT WATERS

Interhigh school sports activities
came to a close this week
featured by the important play
off game between Central and
Western tomorrow at the Roose-
welt Stadium at $3.50 p. m.
This site was decided upon by
officials of the two schools after
it was first hinted that Griffith
Stadium might be used E. &C
eording to the rules neutral field
must "house" the game the
Roosevelt Stadium is the best OF
the interhigh sites, after all is said
and done, because of the room in
the outfield the field would
be q No. /, however, If the intield
was dragged.
The game tomorrow should de-
velop into an interesting pitchers
battle between Arnold Heft, little
southpaw of the Mt. Pleasanters
and Lee Kushman, silent left
handler of the Westerns.
Both have turned in creditable
performances this year par
ticularly Heft, who reached new
heights last week when he downed
Roosevelt with three hits i.
Kushman's work was of the most
steady sort until the Tech game
when he lost all his stuff in the
ninth he should be back in
form, tomorrow, however.
Battle for Third Base
The contest should also help
decide one or two All-High choices
-. f'instance, the battle now in
progress for third base honorS be-
tween Dick Lynham, Of Western
and Eddie McDonough, Of Cen
tral.
Both lads have layed their
heads off dring the campaign -.
both have hit well while their
fielding has been Of the SenSa-
tional type the pitching post,
too, may be decided while the play
Of one or two outfielderS on the
two teams will come in for some
consideration.
Charlie Benedict, "All-H / g h
fan" sends in some interesting
comment he likes Woody Put
nam, of the Bethesda Chevy
Chase nine as a pitcher {.
Woody pitched the Bethesdans to
the unofficial county league title
last week when he beat Mont
gomery-Blair.
Benedict also likes Third Base
man Harris of the BetheSdans :.
and also says Dick Sills of Mont
goinery-Blair is the player with
the most promise in the county
..sills is a lefthanded first base
man.
Manager" AL Costello, high
powered scholastic scribe Of the
Herald, is behind game between
the local school sports scribes
and the high school coaches.
the game is tentatively Sched-
uled for Thursday at the Roose-
velt Stadium at $3.50 p. m.
Manager" Costello has ruled
the coaches must use Charlie
by Golly" Guyon on the mound
or else the game is off. u. Rusty
Thompson counters with a rule
the contest should end when
everyone gets tired. he believes
that'll be about the fifth inning.
Track Meet Good
The scribeS' team is infested
with catchers. Manager" Burt
Hawkins of the Star, is one.
s'Manager" John Vosburgh Of the
Post, another. the team may
have to draft Ed Fuller, now Of
Hyattsville, to straighten out the
difficulty.
That interhigh track meet last
Saturday was most interesting
because of the promise Of real
cinder path teams at Central and
Eastern in the near future.
Coach Hap Hardell'S Tech team
won its ninth title with "a points
but Hap was quick to detect
opposition ahead.
And Western and Roosevelt
exhibited strides to better things
the sport is still somewhat
new to the two schools since the
advent of their new stadiums at
least . and it wouldn't be sur
prising to see Dan Ahern, OF
Western, and Lynn Woodworth,
of Roosevelt, turn out some fine
teams in a short while.
