CENTRAL OPENS WITH DEFEAT Central High baseball team, opened its season being defeated by North Plainfield April 15 by a score of 17 to 7. Charlie Schneider's boys poured runs over the plate like lava out of a volcano. Three Central twirlers were used and were rapped for 18 hits. The Cannucks, as the Plainfielders are called, got to Jacobs in the very first inning for six bingles and as many runs. Schneider' clan repeated in the third again, this time only getting five hits and five runs. This was enough to knock the punch out of the Central lads and caused them to lose by such a large margin. Central, however, tried a comeback in the fifth in- ning and crossed the plate on two occasions, thus plac- ing them in the score column. Charles, a veteran of last year, was the only Centralite 10 get two hits. Ryan, a new addition to the team, crossed the rubber thrice, Charles twice, Murphy and Klein each once for all of Central's tallies. CENTRAL Charles, с. f. xus JIR Марте у с ин Leamy, с.

CENTRAL HICH CROSS COUNTRY TEAM 1919 NATIONAL INTERSCHOOLASTIC GHAMPION S; RELAY REVIEW At the start of the indoor track season, Central real- ized that so far as track was concerned she was to have an off year. The only hope we had of taking team prizes lay in the relay team, but even there we have met disappointment. When the relay squad ran against Barringer for the indoor relay title, Bill Hooper, who ran the first leg for Central, was thrown near the end of his quarter. That spill upset the chances that night. Shortly after when the boys ran at Buffalo, a clean race was run and for the only time of the season the Central goods were displayed at best. The Masten Park quartet won, but nevertheless Central also did some fine stepping, running three seconds better than the world's indoor scholastic record. At the Penn Relay Carnival, Central was walked on again. This time Reggie Farrow was the victim. At the start of the medley relay, the crowd was rather rough with Farrow and a number of them walked over him. Тһе misused one was quite skinned up and also perforated in the legs from spiked shoes. Despite these drawbacks, Farrow gathered himself together and ran a fine quarter, proving himself a better runner than any of the others by at least ten yards. After the mishap Central dropped out of the race. The next day the team ran in the one-mile relay, but Farrow was still so stiffened up from the day previous that the boys were not even able to beat the Barringer team, which took second place. And so it went all season. The best relay team that Central ever possessed, so far as making time was concerned, has so far been unable to capture a single race or championship. EAST SIDE ROLLS HIGH SCORE After winning two straights, Central ran into an- other snag when it met East Side, April 28, 1920. The Centralites played like a lot of bush leaguers and lost the game by a bad score of 17 to 4. The fireworks started in the second inning when Spinelli reached first on an error, went to second on Klein’s sacrifice bunt and scored on Bopp’s double. Bopp stole third and scored on a passed ball, thus giving the Down Neckers their first brace of tallies. Malloy’s boys repeated in the third inning, putting two more runs over the pan. Central played loose ball, making as many as 10
