Further- more, Coach Martin, finding that he could not devote as much time to the team as he wished, procured an assistant, Mr. Adolphe, a college student who offered his services and undertook supervision of the team in conjunction with Mr. Martin. As our new baseball mentor is a physical training instructor by profession, and has had much experience in the game, his advice combined with Mr. Martin's coaching, offers the best baseball training that can be desired. First call for candidates was issued towards the end of February, and practice was begun during the following week. The great number of veterans on hand gratihed the entire school, but did not in the least decrease the flood of newcomers. 'iBruce Podgur, pitching for Harris for the third year, was announced captain, at the beginning of the practice period. The veteran group consists of Captain Podgur, pitcher, Oleck and Offerman, catchers, Katzelnik, first base, Machlis, second base, Rowland, shortstop, Baumstone, third base, Palitz and Caccia, utility infielders, and Bloom and Somerfield, outfielders. Among the leading new men were Sand, Hellerson, Sherman and Levin. According to the new P. S. A. L. arrangements, Harris is placed in the Upper Man- hattan and Bronx division and plays five P. S. A. L. games. Of course, Manager Gibbs has arranged many other games with various other schools not in the league or not in our division which will give the team plenty of action. Our ofiicial league games are as follows: Washington, April 21, away, Morris, April 28, home, Evander, May 5, home, Monroe, May 12, home, Roosevelt, May 19, away. This schedule is short, but it offers the most difficult competition possible to our knights of the diamond. Nevertheless, Harris has one of the Hnest baseball teams in many years in this term's aggregation, and a good performance is to be expected. Besides these contests, there are about six games to be played with such schools as Seward, McBurney, and others, which hll out the schedule and which offer our team a good chance to prepare for the league games.

I I 'l -1 'll'l -I 1l '1'll ll qgaa ang wm As in past terms, the Track Team has attained a position in the foreground of Harris sports. Our trackmen were most successful in the indoor meets, placing in three of them. Now that the outdoor season is well under way, the great resourcefulness of the team becomes apparent. The team has won a majority of the dual engagements and should score heavily in the City Championship Meet and the Upper Manhattan and Bronx Meet. Captain Hoffman, knowing the necessity for good conditioning for runners, held regular practice in the 168th Street Armory, and kept his men in nne condition. Hoffman, with Lichtman, the Mothners, Sandler, Bundheim, and others, form the nucleus of the team. Manager Bundheim's campaign for a bigger and better Track Team was successful to the,eXtent of bringinglout a large number of new candidates for the team. . f f. : 1 - Y X, A Y , . .5 . f - ' ' f' Page Om' Hz111fI1'r'd T'ZL'L'lIfj'-fK71l7'
