THE LOG is the sure result. In the second practise match with Schurz, he smashed out the only home run of the game, and so far of the season. IRVING ROTHSTEIN, our husky southpaw hurler, did remarkably good work for his first season in prep competition. He is a natural pitcher, and his stock of curves, drops and speed balls can compare with those of the best in the Wiest Section. RUBY COHN, although not used in the beginning of the season, showed that he had the makings of a star heaver. He has yet another season at Tuley, and with a good team behind him he may be able to pull Tuley through to 'a Section cham- pionship. ISADORE Kovrrz squatted behind the sack and signalled to the pitcher. He was one of the steadiest players on the team, and his hitting average was one of the highest on the team. He possessed a good line , a valuable asset to a good catcher, and has a remarkable facility for getting the best out of the pitcher. 'LLEFTYU JOE ORZECH, our left fielder, is one of the best outer garden men in the section. He is a redoubtable hitter, and a hostile pop out to left field is as good as an out. He remains for next season and has possibility of developing into a better player than he is now. MXN-ALLIEH JAWORSKY, posted in center field is one of the best hitters on the team and one of the best fielders in the city. Although he has a rather odd manner of standing at the plate when batting, he is usually good for a single or a double. He also remains for another season. Our right fielder. LOUIS BARTOLO, is truly the most remarkable player on the team. He can play any position on a baseball team well, besides being able to hit both right handed and left handed. His fielding of ground balls and of flies is faultless, regardless of the fact that he is handicapped by his diminutive stature. He will be at Tuley for two seasons yet, and he has the possibility of developing into the best all-around ball player Tuley has ever seen. ABRAHAM ZIMRING as auxiliary catcher is even now good enough for prep competition, and one or two seasons later may find him the most capable backstop in this section. ADLER, a good hitter and fielder fitted in nicely as a substitute outfielder. VVTLLIAM B1LLY SHAPIRO, the sole constituent of the managerial depart- ment, showed his ability in handling the business side of the team by procuring numerous practise games before the season.

THE LOG BASEBALL I , The feline aggregation this spring, although starting out with somewhat of a jinx on it. managed to scrape through most of its encounters in highly com- mendable fashion. As this article goes to press, the baseballers have but come out of their training period. This period was featured by some stellar games with scrub up teams and with other high schools out of the section. In both of its encounters with the Columbia Business College, the Tomcats were victorious. These two games, although they were not an exhibition of base- ball as it should be played, served to round nine individual ball players into a smooth-working combination. On one of its off days the Tuley sluggers were trampled down to the decisive score of 22-O, by the Schurzites at the Logan Ball Park. However. after the Tuley men found themselves, they hammered their way through the North Siders to a 8-4 victory at Sawyer Park. Wihen the first scheduled game with Austin came, the Tomcats found them- selves in better condition, and it was with the utmost difficulty and with a good break that the Austinites found themselves able to defeat the Gold and Blue by a 6-4 score. In an extremely slow and uninteresting game with Crane Tech, Tuley was defeated, IQ-I3. CAPTAIN Lours BRANDZEL. the only remaining player from the 1926 squad was one of the best hitters and fielders on the team. He awarded himself the posi- tion of shortstop, and the manner in which he played and batted fully entitled him to that position. COACH AI.TMAN was truly the greatest hero connected with the team. VVithout any compensation whatsoever he whipped a bunch of rookies into playing with some sort of teamwork. He spent a great deal of time and energy in coaching the baseball team, and whatever success the team has had can be directly attributed to him. IRVING iiUKEi, UNGERLEIDER was the 'ffindu of the season. Having never before played baseball extensively. he tried out for the keystone sack position and proved himself so far superior to the other applicant that he was immediately proffered the berth. Although a bit weak on hitting, his uncanny fielding ability and his speed on the bases make him one of the most valuable men on the squad. SID SHERMAN, a previous All-Star indoor baseball man, trampled the ground around third base. Although his fielding was featured by good and bad streaks, his hitting ability pulled him through and made him a valuable asset to the team. The playing of BEN SAMUEL was featured by both good fielding and good slug- ging. He is a sure man at first base, for a ball anywhere in his vicinity is sure to be stopped by his trusty mitt. Wihen he connects with the ball, a double or a triple Page Ona Ilundrfd Orr:

THE LOG fm . . - :ra 1 R A C It Tuley's track teams now rated among the best in the city-Herald Examz'1zfr. Tuley boasts of the finest track team in years-Tribmie. Tuley is proving to be a veritable dark horse at all interscholastic meets-fozzrnaf. These excerpts show but little the general surprise that has been evinced by the followers of track in Chicago at the phenomenal success of the Claremont Avenue team. In the short space of two months Tuley rose from a position of almost total oblivion to a place where their prowess is respected by the pick of spikestersw. During this period they took a second place in the City lnterscholastic and a third place in the Cook County Meet. In both cases they lost by a mere two points to the powerfully balanced aggregation of Hyde Park. Turning back the pages of track history in Tuley, one can hardly find a record of such remarkable victories. VVe might find instances where individuals placed second or third in their events but these occasions are very few and far between. One might now ask what the cause of this meteoric success is. The answer can be given in the words, Dave lVlandelbaurn . His sterling performance aroused comment from the leading newspapers in Chicago. In both the City and Cook County Meet Gabriel departed from the respective gyms sporting the all-around honors. ln addition to this he copped the high jumps all three times at the Chicago University lnterscholastic Meet besides two thirds and a fourth in the low hurdles. At this occasion ujoew Feld- man also took a slice of the honors by garnering a second in the low hurdles, Unfortunately, however, Joe'lbecame a Senior before the second county meet. At the City meet Mandelbaum had a chance to vindicate an earlier defeat at the hands ofa Schurz man. ln the high jump he topped the best efforts of his previous conqueror by six inches. Although he was tied by Jackson of Lane, Davie'sl' performance proved to be the thriller of the meet. Both succeeded in coming a fraction of an inch behind the City high jump record. Not satished with lVlandelbaum's taking all the glory. 'gChick Grossberg spread his lanky legs and placed second. a toe nail behind Swanson of Hyde Park, the city and Cook County hurdling champ. During the time that the Interscholastics were in progress, Tuley was defeated by Schurz in both divisions. Our old ailment, lack of men, caused this defeat. Page One H14 zzdrfd Tfzrrf'
