In the year 1907-1908 Dr. W. H. Foster and Messrs. PH. Aldinger and M. Jones were added to the department. Dr. A. K. Aldinger and Mr. Jones left in 1908-1909. Dr. Aldinger was appointed assistant to Dr. Crampton, who had been appointed Director -of Physical Training in the Public Schools. The place of Dr. Aldinger was: taken by Mr. H. Aldinger, while that of Mr. Jones, who had left to become Inspector of Athletics, was taken by Mr. P. J. Rotherham.

coMMERci3 YEAR Book, 1912 Notwithstanding the fact that it had no real track on which to practice, the track team of 1902-O3 had a very successful season. It won the Metropoli- tan High School League Meet, which was symbolic of the championship of New York. Enough credit cannot be given to Capt. Richard Geis, and Coach Andre Fontaine for the team's excellent work. X Baseball was the next sport taken up. A team was formed, one which labored under the same difficulties as all its predecessors, that of having no practice grounds. A poor start was the natural result, but as the men became used to playing together the team improved, and developed into a fast and reliable aggregation. It wound up a very successful season by winning the Metropolitan League championships. I Coach-MR. WM. P. MANGUSE Captain-ROWLAND PATTERSON Team. Position. R Te-am. Position.

W. Robinson as Secretary. The existence of this association today is in large measure due to the work of these men. 1903-O4 7 p Football appeared first on the athletic horizon, with the same coach and captain, Mr. Fontaine and F. Downes. The facilities for practicetwere slightly better than those of last year, and a fair team resulted. 'Coach-MR. A. C. FONTAINE Manager-H. WILSON. y ' Captain-F. DOWNES TGHITI. Position.
