Some Figure Eastern
Batting Will Upset
Western for Title

Some schoolboy fans are predict
ing that Eastern will upset the
heavily-favored Western ball club
when they clash tomorrow at 3:45
on the latter's diamond to decide
the high school championship.
The minority points out that in
eight series games Western got go
hits out of 227 times at bat for a
team batting average of 264. while
Eastern sluggers pounded out SO in
224 trips to the plate for 1903.
Not only have the Ramblers hit
better than their rivals, this group
points out, but they also have driven
in SO runs in eight games as op-
posed to the Raider total of "a.
Those who favor Eastern say that
the Western team started out
strong, but has slipped some since
the early season, when the Raiders
were riding high through a string
of five straight wins. Eastern root
ers contend that Westerns two late
season defeats are an indication of
its going down hill. They contrast
this with the record showing that
Eastern has won all of its last six
series games.
Two Western losses this year were
to Wilson, which nosed out a 3-to-2
victory, and to Central, which took
a 10 win on Western errors while
the Red Raiders star hurler, Gene
Gould, was pitching a one-hitter.
Closeness of these contests may be
the answer to the Eastern argu-
ment, Westerners say.
Eastern took one of it's defeats at
the hands of Roosevelt, 8 to 2. The
other was a 7-to-5 licking by West
ern, in what Raider followers claim
was a preview of tomorrow's game.
Students can quit conjecturing
tomorrow and watch the ballplay-
ers of the two schools settle the
argument. 1t may be one of the
finest pitchers duels seen around
here in many years, with Gene Col
Inns on the mound for Eastern and
Gould opposing him.

when Ferrell, with a side-retiring
double play at hand, dropped a
throw from Powell and let Ralph
Hodgin score in the tenth. With
one out, Hodgin had singled off
Roger Wolff, who took over from
Johnny Niggeling after the eighth,
and moved to third as Ed Carnett
hit. Grey Clarke was purposely
passed to fill the bases. Then Mike

fine throw, only to have the catcher

The Mats had slugged Orval
Grove for 10 hits, including a
homer by Case and three blows by
Powell, to pile up all their runs
before the fourth inning was over.
Then John Humphries came on to
pitch through the ninth and Gordon
Maltzberger to toll in the 10th. A
single off Maltzberger was all the
Mats got off this pair.
In the meanwhile the Sox kept
pecking away at Niggeling for nine
hits including three two-baggers
and had the score evened before he
quit after eight innings.
Chisox Easily Win Second.
In the second game, Tom Turner's
home run driven into the lower left
field stand in the second inning
sent the White Sox ahead and in
the sixth and seventh rounds they
blasted Mickey Haefner's stuff for
six hits and seven runs, walk and
an error by Myatt helping them.
Milo Candini came in to quell
the riot and AL Carrasquel hurled
hitless eighth.
