Tech Boys Prominent on All-City H. S. Team

CHAMPIONS GET MAJORITY PLACES ON TIES CHOICE East Siders Show More AllAround Class —One Pitcher From Each School. Now that the city public high school baseball series is over and Technical proclaimed champion, the final curtain is the selection of an allcity team. One could not go far wrong if the entire Green and White nine were selected. The team stacked up as best In the city despite its defeat by Manual in its only loss in three seasons. Its only drawback was a temperamental streak that cropped out occassionally. Starting out with the pitchers Peterson of Tech heads the list. He won all of Technical’s important games. Woempler of Manual and Dixon of Shortridge make up the three chosen to form the twirling staff. A Freshman Star. Woempler, perhaps, has the most stuff of any of the three. He is only a freshman. Although he was in the box in the last innings of the Shortridge game he could not be Judged fairly because he could not control the wet ball. Dixon of Shortridge is a hard worker and with a better team behind him would have done better. Two catchers are needed on any team and the choice goes to Chet Jordan of Tech and Klnzer of Shortridge. There were no high class first sackera. All of them were made by the coaches. Schultze of Tech is the choice, because of his hitting. Gordon of Tech was a star at second base. He is without doubt the class of the city. His fielding has been of the very best and his hitting has been hard. Rabe a Good Thrower Rabe of Tech is the pick for shortstop. He is big and has a splendid e.rm. Although at times he Is Inclined to be erratic, for all-round ability he has it over the other performers. Snodgrass of Manual Is a clever player, but hardly strong enough at the stick. He is given the utility infielder’s job. At third Snowball of Manual is given the call, but only by a very slight edge over Riley of Tech. His experience gets him the place. He is always in the game and a good hitter. In the outfield Cottrell. Rush and Mercer of Technical nave the edge on the others. Abie Thatcher who perhaps has caught more flies than any other fielder is given the utility job in the field. Able covers lots of ground, but is hardly good enough at the bat to get on the first selection.
