Athletes at the Garden CIty school,
The interscholastto baseball season is now
well Under way and the result OF the struggles
in this city and Brooklyn Ia anxlously awaited.
Adelphi. "Poly Prep" Brooklyn Latin. and
Pratt Institute are out Of the race in tho Long
Island League, while in this city the fight will
probably be between DE La Sale Institute ana
Berheley School. although Columbia Grammar
School has A fair chance.
The Berkeley School bail players are loot ed
upon rs the coming champions. They have .
better team and are also In better condition
than any OF their rivals for the honprs. This
team Ia playing In excellent form and Ia made
up Of good material, every one playing his posi-
ton to perfection. Bion and Pell alternate in
pitching, while Wiley does the catching, the
latter being one Of the best schoolboy catrhcrs
in this vicinity. Flemmlnn plays third base.
but can be put IN to catch at any time. The
boys are all heavy hitters. They have played
two games thus far in the league series, and
have won both by high scores, defeating Trinity
School by 10 to 4 and the Hamilton Institute By
56 TO I.
Tho DE La Sale Institute boys are playing In
fairly good form. and are oonfident that they
will again snatch the championship from Berke-
ley School. In Jordan and Hawks the team has
two good pitchers, but the latter is the steadieR
OF the two, and up to the present time has kept
some of the sluagers Of the league guessing.
Bruin and Dunn do the catching. The former
is n better man behind the bat, while Dunn IL
an excellent man for the third bag. With the
exception OF Beers, Dunn, and Tracy, the team
is rather weak In batting, but the fielding Is up
to the standard. The two games the Institute
has played have resulted in victories. the first
being over Cutler by the score of II to 2 and
the second over Barnard School by the score Of
1S to 7.
The Columbia Grammar School boys are cons
sidered DARK horses in the race. They opened
by winning from Hamilton Institute by default,
and In the second game they defeated Trinity
School by the score Of pa to II. The team is
made up OF the best material obtainable, and
should give DE La Sale and Berkeley a hard
rub for the championship honors. George
Bechtel does the pitching, while Rust Ia behind
the bat. Bechtel has speed and good control OF
the ball. never losing his head when there IL
any one on bases. With the exception OF SEQ
ond base every position Is played well.
The tennis tournament at the school is likely
to prove quite interesting. The following boys
are competing: Smith. Brown. Tiedeman.
Griffen. LansburRh. phelp. Raub. Mittendorf.
We'll. Bauohle, kuttle, and Grow. Games arc
