For SemifinaI Play
lin Title Series

High school ballplayers of West
ern. Coolidge, Roosevelt and Eastern
today were to put in final drills on
the eve Of tomorrow's two interhigh
baseball games that will decide the
teams to battle it out in the cham
pionship final next Tuesday.
A heavily-favored Western nine is
to clash with an often-brilliant
Coolidge club on the Anacostia
diamond. Buck Henry, erratic in
the early season, but at the top of
his form lately, probably will start
on the mound for Coolidge, while
the probable Western twirler Is
Gene Gould, who pitched one
hitter against Central last Friday,
but lost when miscues yielded a
tally.
Late starters this season, Roose-
velt's Rough Riders have overcome
IA lack of experience to ride over
hot Central and Tech in their last
two games to clinch q place In
the playoffs. Eastern has the smart
est infield on the circuit, spanked
by Sonny Settle, one of the best
third basemen Of the year, and
Roosevelt Sluggers Joe johnson and
Nick Argyropoulos will need their
usual craftsmanship to get the
horsehide past them.
Reed Maier probably will be the
Roosevelt hurler and If Reed is in
his groove the Rider chances will
be bright Maier has played just
about every position on the team
this year on days when he was rest
ing from mound duties, and in his
best moments looks to be big
Lacquer. He has famed as many
as 16 in one game and has batted
leadof regularly.
Both contests will start at 3:45
and will be OF nine innings dura-
ton instead Of this seasons Gus
