The outdoor season for the youngsters con-
ncctcd with tho New York lnterscholastic Ath.
lotto Association opened last Thursday with the
Cutler school games. Although weather and
track were not TO the liking OF the young ath-
Totes they all made n most crcditablc showing.
G.. Whitcmoro OF Dwight School, who has been
making ~ clean sweep in all tho t0O.yard junior
events, competed in his last junior event at these
games. and from now on will enter all senior
events. He Is very fast and can do close TO
10 30 seconds.
At a conference held by the Presidents OF the
locnl. Long Island, and New Jersey Intcrscholas-
tic Associations last Wednesday over the owner
ship OF the trophy cup offered at the recent
Barnard School games. and for which Brooklyn
High and Pingry Schools were tied, IL was de-
cidcd to cut the cup in half.
The next trial for the boys outdoors viii be al
the sixteenth annual games of the Columbia
School Athletic Association, which will take
place at Olympia Park. Lexington avenue and
135th street, next Saturday afternoon. There
will be four open events and nine closed, En-
tries close next Wednesday with Louis Gartner,
81 and 80 East Fifty.frst street. Should bad
weather cause IA postpCncmcnt the games will
take place on Tuesday, April %. The baseball
team Of the school sustaincl q severe loss by the
resignation OF Capt. Crook, who loft school to
enter business. 1Ic was considered one OF the
best first basomon that ever played on a New
York school team. His position will probably
be filled by Mounc, who has plenty OF expcri-
enCc. THE school will be represented by a strong
aggregation of bicycle riders this year. The
track men are all in good condition.
The prospects of n winning track team at
Berkeley School are good. The team includes
Pell, Bien, White, Wiley and n few other lesser
lights, but what IL most needed is some one for
the shot and hammer. Wcnman and Paulding
are among the new men and will be hard to beat
in their respective events. The baseball outlook
is very encouraging. With the exception OF
Grant, Flemming and Young the team is the
same as last year. In Bien and Wiley the school
has without doubt the most complete battery OF
any school within sixty miles of this vicinity.
The former has pitched on the team for the last
three years and in each game played. has proved
and a good drop ball. His speed Is wonderful
for a schoolboy. Wiley has a record for throwing
to second base and has the distance measured
so well that he rarely fails to catch a man trying
TO steal. There are any amount Of substitutes
who can be called in to fill vacant positions al
the shortest possible notice.
At the last regular meeting of the Long Island

undoubtedly redeem the pole vault. The games
will be held on May Is.
The Brooklyn Latin School will inaugurate its

Ing into what is likely to remain its psrm9nent
~tractive and admirably adapted to its general
needs, has had the recent disadvantage Of over
much noise from the street, besides precluding
the possibility of necessary extension. The new
