Central won the game from East by a score of 3-0 at East High field, proving themselves to be the strongest nine in the city. Masters on the mound for Central held the East men to two scattered hits, and only one East man reached third base. The feature of the game was the steady fielding of the Central team and their ability to hit in the pinches. In the seventh inning Captain Glenny walked, Masters sacrificed him to second and Clymer sent him home with a two-bagger. Roy Anderson, Central’s star batter, connected for a double in the eight and Captain Glenny arrived at first on Guzy's error; and then Johnny Jones cracked out a neat single, scoring “Andy” and Glenny. Central again defeated the much-touted East nine 4-0 at South High field, practically cinching the championship for South. Masters pitched a wonderful game for the Red and Blue, allowing East three scattered hits. Central made their four runs in the first inning; “Andy” walked. Archer singled, sending “Andy” to third; Captain Glenny singled, scoring Anderson, and sending Archer to third. Captain stole second and then Jones hit a pretty two-bagger to left center, scoring Archer and Glenny; but that was not enough, so Jimmie Peterson drove a single over shortstop, scoring Jones. Then four runs seemed to be plenty, for, with the Central team playing errorless ball, the East boys had no chance to score. Throner's 1919 bunch was not satisfied when they had shut East out for two straight games when they were leading the race, but defeated and shut out South in the last game of the season at South High field 3-0. Masters, Central’s star hurlcr, again pitched a fine brand of ball for Central, allowing the South boys three scattered hits. In the first inning “Andy” walked. Archer sacrificed him to second. Glenny singled, scoring Anderson, Captain stole four bases on Gagnon, the South catcher. Johnny Jones in this game was Central’s star batter, connecting for two neat singles. Central proved to all the followers of 1919 baseball that she had the best team in the city and but for three unfortunate errors would have been champions. Central won her last three games, two from East and one from South, proving to all rooters that she should have had the 1919 baseball championship. However, Central landed in second place next to South, for whom they won the championship by shutting East out twice. Central had the credit for four shutouts, two from Hast and one from North and South; no other high school had the honor of even winning one shutout game. Roy Anderson led the team in batting, hitting an average of 370 for the season, followed by John Jones with 361. Masters, besides pitching the last three games in a wonderful way, hit 350, Captain Glenny 311, followed by Archer with 276 and Captain-elect Peterson who hit 273. Central has high hopes for a championship team in 1920 with Captain-elect Peterson, Masters. Lamphear, Clymer, Roy Anderson, Ray Ross, and Clifford Glenny, all letter men from last year. I 22 ]

Haseball CENTRAL’S 1919 baseball nine finished in second place in the 1919 scholastic race, the same as the 1918 team. The Red and Blue, except for three unfortunate defeats, proved itself to be the best in the city. Mr. Throner issued the first call for practice early in April, and besides Captain Glenny, Clifford Glenny, Harry Masters, Jimmie Peterson, Ray Archer. Meredith Barrett, and Theodore Clymer, veterans, many other fellows turned out to earn a place on Central’s nine. After practising for two or three weeks, Throner’s nine met and defeated North at North Commons 12-2. Archer on the mound for Central struck out eleven men and allowed North but two scattered hits. Archer, besides pitching a wonderful game, made three hits, while the Glenny brothers made two apiece. The Central boys proved themselves to be a heavy hitting aggregation, slamming out thirteen bingles to North's two. The next game was played at South field against W est, Central losing 6-4. Archer, hurling for Central, issued the West boys their base on balls six times and two were hit by pitched balls, three of these resulting in unearned runs for W est. They also received two more unearned runs on errors by Clifford Glenny and Clymer. Jimmie Peterson was Central’s hitting star, with a single and a two-bagger that drove in two of Central’s runs. Central was defeated by South 8-6 in their next game, which proved to be a very interesting battle.

Loken, South’s pitcher, struck out twelve Central batters and besides connected for a two-bagger and a triple. Masters was Central’s star with three hits to his credit, while Bill Fox. who batted for Jones in the ninth, drove out a neat two-bagger. Central again met and defeated North at South High field 13-0. Fox. pitching his first game for Central, allowed North but three scattered hits and no one on the North team reached second base. Central’s team played errorless ball, the feature of this being the double play Glenny to Clymer to Peterson. Captain Glenny and Roy Anderson were Central’s star batters, with two hits apiece. W est again defeated Central at South High field, this time in a twelve-inning tussle 4-3. Fox started on the mound for the Red and Blue, but West scored two runs in the sixth on two hits by Gambil and Jacobson and a wild throw over first base by Fox. Masters, pitching for Central the last six innings, allowed West but one single until the twelfth, when Countryman drove in the winning run with a neat single over short.

Tennis CENTRAL’S 1919 tennis team, consisting of two veterans. Captain Leslie Johnson and Roy Anderson, won the championship of the city. Central defeated St. Paul Central in their first match on the Powderhorn courts, 3-2. Captain Johnson and Anderson easily won from their opponents in both their single and double matches, while the St. Paul boys won one single match from A1 Skoglund and a double match from Carl Cat on and A1 Skoglund. In the city meet. Roy Anderson went to the finals with little trouble, winning three straight matches. Captain Johnson won his first two matches, but because of illness was unable to play Roy Anderson for the city title; however, what matters—they are both Central fellows. Captain Leslie Johnson, for the second time in two years, captured the Northwestern Interscholastic High School title for Central, winning another silver loving cup for our trophy case. The members of the team receiving their letters were Captain Leslie Johnson, who won a major “C with a star, and Roy Anderson, who received a minor “C.” Central’s hopes for the 1920 team are high because of the presence of Captain Roy Anderson, Carl Caton, and Martin Norton, all veterans. Big results may be justly expected from them this year. LIBRARY „t«TKAL HIGH SCHOf ( 23 )
