Fontaine and Trask, and with South Field as a regular practice ground. lt proved to be a banner season, the team winning all of its games with the public high schools. Notable among the achievements of the year was a tie game with De Witt Clinton, a team which we had hitherto thought too strong for us to play. This seasonis play placed Commerce on an athletic plane equal to any of the high schools in the East. Team. Hayden, Stevenson ........ Dey, H. Hoffmann McKallor, Fox ..... Adams, Blumers .. E.

COMMERCE YEAR EOOK,191? Basketball followed close on the heels of football, and it was a worthy successor. Although very light, the team played well throughout the season, and deserves nothing but Commendation for its record, having won all of its league games but one. - ' Coach-DR. C.

S. A. L. The Athletic Association this year introduced a novelty in the form of an indoor meet, closed to Commerce students, held in the gymnasium. This was the first of what were hoped would be annual occurrences. The outdoor season was even more successful than the indoor. The team cleaned up Morris and'Clinton handily in dual meets, and sent seven men to the St. Louis Exposition to take part in the Inter-City lVIeet. New York City Won this meet, largely through the prowess of the Commerce men on the team. Coach-MR. A. C. FONTAINE Captain-R. GEIS Manager'-H. HOFFMAN The baseball team started its practice in the gymnasium with llilr. lX'Ian- guse coaching again, and with the same captain, Rowland Patterson. A good team was built up, and although it lost four of its games, the Nletropolitan Championship came to Commerce for the second successive time. Coach-MR. WM. P. NTANGUSE Manage:-+-V. W.

S. A. L. Championships for the second consecutive time. Unfortunately We lost to Clinton in the annual dual meet. The feature of the team was the relay, consisting of lXflcAlpin, Pfletsch- inger, Vorhis and Geis. This four performed consistently all season, and finally broke the American record for the high school mile relay, establishing a mark of 3 minutes, 34 3-5 seconds. Baseball prospects were hampered by the resignation of lVIr. Klanguse from the position of coach, but Mr. Hance came to the rescue and took the reins in his hands. The team did not hit its stride until after the opening game, but altogether it had an enviable record. Coach-MR. VVILLIAM HANCE Manager-F. W. BISHOP Captain-L. T. VoRH1s Team.
