Two-Thirds Of Series

Eastern Hands Central
Its First Beoting in
Lost Three Years
BY GEORGE HUBER.

An exciting interhigh baseball title
race, at least the best in three years,
is going to waste so far as diamond
fans are concerned with the athletes
playing in comparative privacy.
With two-thirds of the series over,
at least five of the seven schools
entered have chance for the crown.
Yesterday when CentraTs two
year dominance was broken, or at
least bent, as Eastern upset the
Vikings, 1872, only few students
were present, although it figured to
be the best of the days three games.
Cold weather partly was to blame,
perhaps, but it has been the same
in earlier games played in balmy
weather
A better game than Techs 10
victory over Anacostia yesterday
would be hard to find, yet the stands
were blank. The same condition
prevailed two weeks ago when Tech
and Central engaged in a 12-inning
classic. An exception was the
Western Wilson game at Western
yesterday in which the Red Raiders
triumphed, 7-3. Wilson, compare
lively new school, had a cheering
section of zoo.
Play Too Few Games.
Several reasons have been ad-
vanCed for the poor attendance. Dis
trict public high teams are permit
ted only II games a year, hardly
enough in which to whip up a fol-
lowing 1t has been proposed to
give them more games next year
and tC do away with even the small
admission charge to all but the
championship playoffS.
Eastern turned or the power yes
terdal, blasting out IA hits to hand
Central its first interhigh defeat in
three years. The victory pulled the
Ramblers into first place tie. They
displayed much better team than
the one which was upset by Wilson
two weeks ago. Ten of the Ram
bier hits and eight of the runs
were made of Aaron Weisenberg,
who until yesterday was figured as
the pitching find of the year at Gen.
tral. Harry Wolfe another good
prospect whom Coach Jack Ray had
been saving for a tough spot, re-
lieveG him in the seventh and also
was taken over the jumps.
Meanwhile, Eastern's Kenny Dea-
vers was hurting a masterful game
in the wind and gave only four hits
in the eight innings he worked
Wildness in the second, in which he
issued three passes. gave the Vikings
their only run off him. Central's
heavy hitters at the top of the bat
ting order we're all but helpless be-
fore him.
A newcomer to the Eastern line
up, Angelo Spirodopolis at first, gave
the Ramblers much more power.
Angie got two hits, one of them a
double. scored two runs and batted
in two more. Jack Hoffman, former
first sacker, was shifted to the out
field and in his new post gathered
two hits and scored three times.

Hard Training for
Bout With Jeffra

joey Archibald, challenger for
Harry Jeffra's copy of the world
featherWeight title. today was to
conclude heavy work in preparation
for their 15-round bout Monday
night at Griffith Stadium.
The Providence half-pint Is in fine
fettle and banging around sparring
partners with abandon, but his con-
dition has not sWayed the sporting
gentry's opinion of his chances.
Jeffra, largely because he has been
campaigning among the best men
at his weight and giving them all
the brush off, is the fight choice.
Archibald has the psychological
balance in his favor this time, how
ever, having nothing to lose and
everything to gain. That's help,
but not much protection against
Jeffra's spidery arms when the Bal
timore golfer begins teeing off.
