In the next game with Ile Ly Salle Institute, Commercial was victorious byia score of 15 to Fa On the morning of May 16, Commercial added one more victory her P. S. A. L. record, beating High School of Commerce by 3 Sgjore of 3 to 2. The same day Commercial, without a regular pitcher lost one of the Chandler Cup games to Manual. This made the Cup series, one game for each school. I On May 19 our team broke the tie in the P. S. A, L, ahead of Boys' High School by winning a game with a score of 5 to 3. Owing to a disputed decision of the umpire the game was protested by Boys' High School, and the P. S. A. L. committee decided that the game should be replayed. Townsend Harris de- feated by the score of 8 to 6, and De Witt Clinton defeated by the score of 9' to 2, advanced Commercial two games in the P. S. A. L. Commercial added another P. S. A. L. victory to her list when shc defeatedeStuyvesant by the score of 4: to 2. A practice .game with Manhattan Prep. was won by Commercial by the score of 2 to 1. E'-On.Anniversary Day, Commercial beat Manual in the Hnal cup game, by a score of 7 to 5. This game won for Commercial the 1908 Chandler Cup, and the 1907 Chandler Cup, as this was the game to be replayed. This game also counted for a P. S. A. L. game. In the replayed contest with Boys' High on June 26, Com- mercial won by a score of 7 to 41, .thus securing the P. S. A. L. championship of 1908, with a 1.000 per cent. average. , forging For two years Commercial's basketball teams have been totally unsuccessful. This has been largely due to a lack of general inter- est in the game. For the season of 1908-1909 the proSpeCtS f01' fl successful team are very bright. Mr. Stock, of the English Dcparti ment, proves to' be an excellent coach, and with a large llllllllwl' Of skillful boys from which to pick the material for the team, we hope- that Commercial will make a very creditable showing.
