Pitching usually has meant
about everything in the annual
baseball series for the high
schools. The reason can be laid
to the shortnesS of the schedule.
In recent seasons, Eastern has
walked away with championship
honors because Coach Charlie
Guyon has had hurlerS who could
step into the box every assign
ment and deliver winning game.
This year there promises to be
no exception to the rule in SO far
as the Parkers are concerned. For
the teams lineup is studded with
pitchers who have class written
all oyer them.
Lefty Stockwell is one Of the
three-man staff. Wade Pembroke
is another. while Rip Carver is
still third. Any or the trio can
and most probably will win in
series assignments this year, max
ing Eastern a heavy favorite to
defend its championship in the
most successful fashion.
Central and Tech, who open the
series today with their game at
Griffith Stadium at $3.50 O'Clock,
possess pitching STATS which
promise to give Eastern the great
est run for honorS.
Three other contests are on
the program today. The feature

Eastern teams divided in ath-
letic events held yesterday.
The Parkers' baseball nine routed
Westinghouse High, II to 9, at
BallSton, Va, while the track team
lost to Episcopal, at Episcopal.

Terrific rallies, featured by some
heavy hitting, won for Eastern in
the baseball game with Washing
ton-Lee. Bartoo and Taylor Socked
home runs, while Jacobs, Lamb
and Clinton collected two-baggers.
Mead, Stockwel, and DeShard did
the pitching.
Eastern's loss in track was ex-
pected on account of Episcopal's
greater strength. However, the
Parkers put up a gallant fight and
gathered many seconds and thirds
which otherwise might have gone
to Episcopal without some sort Of
opposition.
The Mount PleaSanters have two
experienced men in George RowleS
and Arnold Heft, southpawS. Tech
has Lewis West, right-handed un-

folk, Va, Sam MalloS and Howard
Bowers. The latter will probably
do the most hurting. since he's
developed more rapidly than any
other candidate on Coach Herman
Littman's staff.
An interesting pitching duel
promises to transpire at the out
set of the series today when Cen
trail and Tech hook up. Coach
Jack Ray. of Central, has both
RowleS and Heft ready while Tech
is ready to depend on Lewis West.
The latter hurled splendid ball
against Marblehead High, of Mas
sachusetts, earlier this week.
Coach Ed Foxley only allowed the
youngSter to go five innings be-
cause of the fact he planned TO
start him today.
The youngster has a nice under
hand delivery. If he can pitch it
effectively, maintaining all the
while the control necessary with
pitches of that type. Central is in
for a real battle.
CentralS chief bid for a victory
will be from the experience both
RowleS and Heft show. The two
leftieS have learned a lot of the
