THIRD BIG CROWN
WON BY EASTERN
Adds Baseball Championship
to Those in Football
and Basket Ball.

For the second consecutive year and
for the fourth time in five years, East
ern High School today held the public
school baseball championship. One Of
Eastern's most successful athletic
years was finished yesterday when
Chief Guyon's nine downed Tech, 7-5,
to emerge undefeated from champion
ship competition and to add the base
ball crown to the Lincoln Parker's
football and basket ball champion
ships.
The Roosevelt nine, which set Wood
row Wilson back, 20-6, yesterday, fin
ished In second place, its only series
loss being to Eastern. The addition to
interhigh competition this season, Ana
costa, finished in last place. having
lost all six of its series starts, but in
spite Of the general weakness of its
inexperienced team gave the cham
pions their most trouble, forcing them
into the only overtime game of the
series. Eastern won, 5-4. in IL innings
after its star pitcher. Rip Carver, had
been knocked from the box.
Series Well Handled.
Series games this year were played
in four stadiums. Eastern, Central,
Roosevelt and Western, and during
the early part of the season were fairly
well attended. Birch e. Bayh, director
OF athletics; H K. Bosley, faculty ad-
wiser on baseball, and Umpires George
Watt and Clarence Desper won COM
mendation for their handling Of the
series.
In yesterdays final game against
Eastern, Tech, in the first inning,
scored one run on a walk and a single,
but the champions picked up two
markers in their half of the frame to
gain a lead they never lost. Lefty
Stockwell pitched the first seven in
nings for Eastern. and although he
gave up 10 hits to the nine garnered
by the Lincoln Parkers he was in trou-
Bile only in the seventh, during which
three runs were scored against him.

Ocean City, Nd, gets a mention in
this department so often you would
think we owned stock in the place, but
such isn't the case. It's just that the
fishing there naturally is good for one
thing, and the shippers help it along
by being on their toes and keeping UP
with the times.
There is keen rivalry among the
captains as to who will catch the first
marlin. Last season Capt. Crawford
Savage was the man. He turned the
trick by keeping one of his outriggers
baited with marlin lure while out
after bluef1sh, and the first spikesnout
around obliged him by connecting.
Each has bis own method, which he
keeps secret from the others if pos
sible, but we will be breaking no con-
fidences If we tell what Capt. TaIbut
Bunting of the Cecil B is doing.
He figures that the first one
will be caught down deep in.
stead Of on the surface as usual,
so he is going after them and
not waiting for them to come
up.
First he made bullet-shaped sinker
weighing Is pounds, which will drop
so or more fathoms below the surface
when trolled. For a lure he has a
waterproof electric light lit by small
battery, behind which is hung the big
marlin hook. He figures the marlin
will be attracted by the light and make
grab for it, the hook will swing into
action, and presto! Capt. Talbut Bunt-
ing docks the first marlin.
