1 n 13, fi S PW, iv-9 ' f 1 if till BASEBALL GQ! X9 N VIEW of the fact that every postion on the baseball team was vacant 15. before the season started, Captain Levin in spite of his discouraging S? lack of veterans, has undoubtedly turned out an excellent nine. The ball-tossers' first non-P. S, A. L. season in many years stimulated the iv' 'Tyr squad to an admirable display of superb playing. Aside from the few games lost because of ineligibility and other like plagues, the season was rather successful. The boxmen were usually adept this term. Feingold was the stellar right-hander and Goldstein, the southpaw. Grossman proved capable in the position of relief hurler. Due to Captain Levin's incapacitation, Brown per- formed behind the bat for the majority of contests. ' Feldman, playing his second season at first base, turned in consistently fine performances. Neville, the keystone sacker, filled his position capably. Kellner, at short, was one of the team's bright lights, hitting and helding un- usually well. The hot corner was held down by Hawkins, who handled it creditably. The outfield was of good calibre. O'Dea, Petz, and Spertell hit the ball hard and fielded nicely. The outstanding reserves and squad members were Traus, Lilley, Ash, Block and Gerken. K The credit for the coaching and managing of the team belongs to Levin, Donnelly, and Boriss.

The unprecedented circumstance of having a dual captaincy worked out fairly well. The Mothner I L rg ,fs 5 55, - -. twins, besides being the team's mainstays, captained it excellently. The indoor season, which reached its climax during the first two months of the term, saw Sam and Lep garnering points in every meet. In the most heralded race of the year, the special four-forty yard dash of the Wingate Fund Games, Sam Mothner took fourth place, bowing only to the best quarter- milers in the entire city, all of whom were at least one year older than he. With the arrival of the spring season, the team shifted to the cinder path. The squad worked earnestly although it did not compete much. The Mothners demonstrated the sprints together with Brown and Alton. Friedlander, Behr, Dickes and Helmling were the middle distance spe- cializers. All the credit for the coaching of the team rightfully belongs to Tony Orlando, C. C. N. Y. mentor, who has devoted a great part of his time and energy for the past few terms to produce a first class team. D fl 0 I-Iunrffi-nal 'T-umntv
