r B o 1S1 El Bai L «• LAST year the success of our baseball team was indeed encouraging. Thanks to the coaching of Mr. Warfield we were able to grapple with our opponents with some success. Here we won our first victory in athletics against East and we hope to continue our good work. The dawn of the ’ll baseball season presents a good prospect. Coach Evans will make every effort to weld together a winning team. Although the loss of several players will be felt, there is plenty of promising material to choose from, and the Coach hopes to surpass the team put out last year. Frank Crebbin has been elected to lead the team, and Carl Stcigerwald has been chosen manager. ©ur Coat!) MR. D. M. EVANS, the first Professional Coach at the H. S. of C. is a graduate of Wesleyan College. Mr Evans is a star in the athletic line, having played on the basketball, baseball, and football teams of his college, along all which lines he certainly is a hustler. He is modest of his grand record at Wesleyan but his modesty for once proves a winning card. Mr. Evans has gained the good will of all the fellows, and never perhaps, has a coach on entering a new school so quickly become popular with the student body. He not only shines as a coach but, wonderful to relate, is also an energetic teacher and an all round good fellow. 69

Atfjlctic Association ATHLETICS at the High School of Commerce has been taken in strong doses. The teams, at first new and unorganized, now have high hopes for the future. The spirit of the student body tending to the promotion of athletics is indeed very encouraging. The entrance of Commerce into the Senate of the Cleveland High Schools, while it has not caused any great changes, has resulted in gaining the respect of the opposing schools. gasket IBall anb iErack leagues The basket ball and track leagues have been very successful this year. Four captains, Romanis, Crebbin, Weintraub and Hilberer were selected to lead the teams. Each captain selected his squad from those desiring to play. Each squad was given a color under which the teams enrolled and there were four groups, the Red, the Blue, the Green and the Gold.
