Excellent Material To
Choose From This
Season
Pitching Staff Frames
Up The Strongest
To Date
(From Tuesday's Dally)
Tho High school this year gives
promise of having ono of the fastest
baseball teams In its history. Five of
the old men nro back, and there is no
lnek of good material to chooso the re
mainder of tho team from. Of the old
men, Myers will bo on tho rubber, nnd
o bids fair to become ono of tnn fast-
st scholastic twirlcrs in this part of
the country. Ilnrnes will bo nt short
ngain, whllo Munds hns moved nut to
third. Ileach is in the middle garden,
ml Ling is making n try for tho initlnl
sack. All arc showing up well in
prnctlce.
Of tho now men Henry Is working
out for second, nnd bids fuir to land
the position. It. Mcrritt is doing tho
backstop work in heady manner, nnd
O'Neill nnd Foster nro making good In
the out-gardens. It is likely thnt tho
former will bo moved into the in-flcld,
possilily nt snort. l. Jioss and a. rnyno
re also fielding cleverly.
These candidates nro not tho only
splrunts, however, as others of the
High school sipind nre working out, nnd
there is u great, but good-natured rival
ry on for the various positions. Incle
ment weather has prevented faithful
practising the past few weeks, but tho
ntlro sipiad is turning out every even
ing now, nnd the team will probably be
whipped into excellent shape for the
first 'gamo of the season, with Mesa
lllgn, nt the west side grounds, on
Mnrch 27 nnd 28.
Of the plt-'hing staff, composed of
Myers, Henry and O'Neill, nil seem to
have tho right dopo in their mitts. Tho
former Is a local man, while Henry
comes irom mo lau- Aiigeics roiy
technic High, where ho twirled last
season. O'Neill, Into of St. Vincent's
has some good stuff 'ind Is a heady
worker on the mound. With these mon
lolng the tossing, and too undeniably
fast men behind them, groat things arc
expected of Present! High's bnscball
team this reason.
Among somo of their opponents in
cluded in the schedule mapped out arc
Phoenix High, Mesa High, Phoenix In
dian school, Tempo Normal, and U. of
