'Blain-Hr .,.,svf:.1 T is with regret that we go to press before the results of this season are known for our team promises to be one of the strongest that HHTTIS has produced in years Xmoi g I1 TW ,ix , last year's veterans are Michaelson, Crarfein, Tucker, Miller, Harbach and Harquard. In addition to these, Coach Fitzpatrick has a score of new men who are showing good form. Chief among the finds of the season are Sickles, pitcher, and Pinaro, inhelder and reliable batter. Those who have not secured positions on the first nine have been formed into a second team, which is playing havoc with local athletic clubs and other high school seconds. Manager Taflovitch has prepared a hard schedule of eighteen games for the first team. Four of these games, with Evander Childs, I-fefley Institute, Curtis and Morris, have been played, but, owing to the ineligibility of many of our men, Harris is so far credited with only one victory, over Evander Childs. Interclass Baseball Tournament Baseball has always been the most popular sport of I-Iarris. Those who have been unable, for any reason, to play with the school team, have contented themselves with class teams and pick-up games. The interclass baseball tournament is exactly what was needed to afford these fellows some good games with a definite goal to reach. Among the twenty, or more, teams which have entered, Upper A3 and Upper A6 are apparently the chief contenders. The success of the baseball tournament proves the popularity of interclass competition in I-Iarris. Such competition should be encour- aged in all branches of sport, for, in addition to affording clean pleasure to everyone, it developes men for the higher honors of the school teams.
