BASEBALL The 1922 North Central baseball team prov- ed itself to be the high school champions of Spokane by taking the series from the Lewis and Clark team in three out of four games. Pre-series dope gave Lewis and Clark all odds in the series. The L. C. crew had Jones, the man who had defeated North Central last year in three. straight games, and Ed Brandt, a gigantic left hander who had won much fame as a strike-out king. North Central had only two pitchers who were figured to strat, Wilk- enson and Brassington. Neither of the men was given credit for having the ability to com- pete with the strong hurling staff of the orange and black. In the first game of the series coach Elder started his old favorite, jones. Coach Hawes of North Central shocked the South Siders by putting Kenneth Lefty Adams in the box for North Central. Captain Henry of North Central started the ball rolling in the first in- ning by poling one of Jones' offerings over the left field fence. Again in the third inning with two men on bases Henry came to the bat. Elder immediately jerked jones and placed Brandt on the mound in a vain attempt to check the rally. Henry connected with Brandt's fast one for three bases, scoring the two men. He scored on a single. The red and black came out victorious after nine in- nings with the big end of an eight to live score. By winning the second game of the series three to one the red and black nine proved to the fans that the first win was no fluke. The second game was one of the fastest, cleanest games of baseball that has ever been played between the two schools. Brandt of Lewis and Clark established a new strike-out record by setting down 19 of the North Central hitters who faced him. Lefty Adams, heaving his second game for N. C., pitched stellar ball and had air-tight support from his team. The fielding of Kent Allen, N. C. shortstop, was the feature of the game. In the third game for the championship, the red and black crew put the game on ice by scoring three runs in the first inning but could not stand prosperity and blew up, giving Lewis and Clark the contest four to three. In the first inning Horn singled, Allen was hit by a pitched ball and Henry hit the left held fence for two bases, scoring Allen and Horn. Henry ERNEST HENRY

TALAI-II 75 then scored on VVilky's ily to center. For five innings, North Central tried to give the game back to its rivals but was unsuccesful. In the sixth Henry, Adams and Horn let a pop Hy drop between them while they were arguing and Lewis and Clark scored its first run. .Horn let one roll between his legs in the next inning for the second count for L. C. McGrath did the same in the following inning. L. C. tied the count. In the tenth inning Henry heaved one over McGrath's head for the final count. The red and black nine came back in the fourth contest and took the game and series by a nine to four count. The North Central bats- men waited out Brandt and then hit him to all corners of the lot and mixed in some pretty bunts and squeeze plays. The Lewis and Clark team blew up in the fifth and allowed three red and black men to tally. In the sixth and seventh the same thing happened. Bras- sington replaced Adams in the eighth and whiffed four of the six orange and black men that faced him. In picking the all-star team Eddie Ferris, the umpire, selected seven North Central men and three from the South Side, Brandt CL. C.J and Adams QN. CQ were given the hurl- ing job. Conklin CN. C.J was placed on first, Luck CL. CQ on second, Horn CN. C.J on third, Allen QN. C.J on short, Wilkenson QN. CQ, VVatson QN. C.J and Jones QL. C.J in the outfield. Henry, the North Central captain and catcher, was awarded the catching ,position and also the honor of being captain of the all- star lineup. VV hen the tinal batting averages were figured out they showed that Luke Watson, the red and black center Helder, led the swat artists with an average of .441. Brandt of L. C. was second with .416 and Henry and Wilky were third and fourth with averages of .396 and .385 respectively. io-oi. , TENNIS At the beginning of the tennis season, which opened about the last week in April, many girls in North Central reported for practice on the tennis squad.
