CHAMPS Our next meet was the P. S. A. L. Champs which were held at the C. C. N. Y. natorium.

This term faced with schedule. In the very first game of our baseball team was an unusually difficult the season we encountered P. S.

THE MONITOR 9 SWIMMING CHAMPIONS-CITY OF NEW YORK, 1930 we again crossed bats with P. S. No. 3. This time we were forced to lower our colors in an exciting and as finely played game as can be witnessed any- where. The final score was 4-3. P. S. 167 were our next opponents. P. S. No. 9 were returned the victors in this contest, a free hitting affair, to the tune of 22 to 10. Our next victims were P. S. No. 44 who were given a 15-4 setback. P. S. 67 were entertained next. This game was another Very close affair. Twice were we behind and twice did we fight with that spirit which is so characteristic of No. 9. The first time we scored five runs in order to tie, the second, three runs were needed. The game then had to be called due to the lateness of the hour. The final out- come was a 12-12 tie. P. S. No. 5 were our last opponents. After a very close game in which first one side then the other was ahead we were forced to accept defeat, the ultimate result being 11-8. The baseball team consisted of the following boys: Joseph Farrand, Frank Piccolo, Ralph Gatti, Albert Isakson, Campion Lexon, Vincent Buckley, Burton Klatt, John Santry, George Gianakos, Peter Freed, James Borelli, Florio Senna, Vincent Jolson and Red Schia- vonne. To set the cause above renown To love the game beyond the prize To honor, while you strike him down, The foe that comes with fearless eyes, To count the life of battle good, And clear the land that gave you birth, Bring nearer yet the brotherhood That binds the brave of all the earthi' By Sir Henry Newboldt.
