On the second set were Donahue, BogdanolT, Stafford, Mercer and Madden. Dunham, Turner, Cramer, and Van Derveer proved themselves efficient substitutes. Although we won only two games out of eight, the other six games ended with close scores. —Paul Boc.danol'R. TRACK This year the County League will sponsor a track meet which will be held at Skaneateles on June 3rd. This event will include races of 50, 100, 220, 440, and 880 yards as well as the mile race. In addition to this there will be relay races of 440 and 880 yards each. The field events will include the shot put, the pole vault, the broad jump and the high jump. Although the Baldwinsville team has but few facilities to train for a meet of this sort, we expect to be well represented ; we hope to score better than last year. —Kkrmit Smith. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The Seniors proved to have the best basketball team in the interclass race for the pennant, which they won after a close race with the Juniors, who were only one game behind them at the close of the season. Interclass basketball have proved to he one of the most important of our extra-curricular activities as it is through this players are built up to represent the high school on the varsity teams. Standings of the teams at the close of the season are as follows: Team Wan Lost Seniors ............................ 8 1 Juniors 7 2 Sophomores ..........................i 6 Freshman ........................... 0 9 Arthur HuntlKy. GOLF Due to a change in schedule there is no division in the county league this year. There are eight teams in the league, which means seven golf matches for each team. Baldwinsville started the season with three regulars of last year. Eon Russell, Frederick VVilkinson and Frank Walters, and Jay Mercer filling the place of Francis Russell, k redcrick Wilkinson was fortunate enough to have a position given him May 25, thus leaving a gap in the team which has been filled by Vic Milkowski and later by Robert Browning. Up to May 27 Baldwinsville has had no defeat and won her first four games 12 to 0. The first three of these were played at Seneca and the fourth at Liverpool. On May 27 Baldwinsville tied Solvay and the play-off is scheduled for June 7. A match was arranged between Nottingham, city champions, in which Baldwinsville was defeated 8 to 4. Frank. Walters.

BASEBALL 'The call for baseball candidates was answered by thirty anxious boys all eager to gain a place on the Academy team. Handicapped by not having any veterans back from last year because of graduation or for various other reasons, the coach had a hard time in getting the team in shape for the opening contest with the defending champions, Solvay. The contest was a very close one with Baldwinsville leading up to the last inning However, due to an old Solvay custom, some runs were made in a well-timed rally that put the Smokc- Towners well in the lead. And so the game ended. The boys were determined not to be downhearted and so set right at work the following Monday to try and avenge the defeat. The pitching staff consisted of Wilkinson, O’Brien, Plunkett, Mathewson, Williams and Lavoie. They were well backed by Stevenson, Sullivan, Gaylord, Rowe and Madden. The pitching and fielding was very good considering that none of the boys had played in high school competition before. The next game to he played was with Skaneateles, also on our home field. It was a fine game, but the visiting pitcher proved to be too good for the local swatters. Marcellus and Liverpool also proved to he too much for the Elizabeth Street boys. In a non-league tilt with Fayetteville the boys finally came through a winner, and repeated the act with Split Rock the victims. Manx fine hits were made during these games along with some fine exhibitions of fielding. Now the season is practically over the boys seem to have hit their stride, and with only two remaining games, those with Liverpool and Jordan, it seems probable that Baldwinsville will make a creditable showing. 'The encouraging thing about a rookie ’ team is that the next car they will have had the experience to mold them into a real hall team. As all this year’s players are due to return next year wc have visions of a championship team. I ime will tell. The candidates were: Bigelow, Gaylord, Lavoie, Wilkinson. Plunkett, Milkowski, Williams, Sullivan, Madden, Rowe, Bradwav. Bates, Mowins, Baker, Smallwood, O’Brien, Mathewson. Marshall, Erawley. Bort. Bunney, Bush, Decker, Farnham. Gilmore, Hudson, Virginia, Stevenson and R. Wilkinson.
