Van Buren has always had one of the five best baseball teams in Queens and this year was no excep- tion. The team plays in the strongest division of the P.S.A.L., facing up To Holy Cross, Malloy H.S. and even sev- eral Nassau County teams. V.B. prac- tices and plays its home games at Alley Pond Park. Mr. Kessler, who will retire from coaching after this season, believes that the team has terrific tal- ent and will continue to be a leading team. Ashkinazy takes a short break between innings.
