Central beat the Central Jersey Champions of Group lV iNew Brunswickl by a score of 5-O. The win- ning pitcher in that 9-inning game was our own Al D'Alonzo. One misfortune we witnessed was to lose to Caldwell High in the final quarter of a 9-inning game. That misfortune disqualified us from the Greater Newark Tournament. Results of some of the games were: Central won over Bloomfield 3-2, North Arlington 4-1. Andrew Kehrle was the winning pitcher in the South Side vs. Central game which proved he is a very capable ball player. The score was 8-7. Co-captains of the team are Andrew Kehrle and Kenneth Reith. The co-captains, with the superior instruction of their faculty advisor, Mr. Reilly, really helped bring our baseball team to its fame along with the excellent playing of the boys on the team.
