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'

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.
