After an interesting series OF games the New
York lnterscholastic A. A. baseball season
came to an end last week. 1t was pne OF the
most successful campaigns in the history Of
the organization. Trinity School,. by winning
the championship again. has made an enviable
record. De La Sale Institute was Trinity's
| opponent again. but the victory was not as
easily accomplished as the one last year. for
De La Sale was in the game to the last.
Yale. Princeton and Columbia. as we'll az
other well-known institutions. will be greatly
! strengthened in the future by scholastic
athletes who graduate this year. ia. Forney
Of Berkeley School. the champion pole vaulter.
will enter Princeton. He will leave a big hole
in Bsrkelcy's team. As a football and base
ball player. sprinter and hurdler. he is in a
class by himself. although Is. White. the cham
pion quarter-milrr OF Berkeley. will graduate.
it is not known whether he will enter college
or 20 into business. Berkeley will al 20 lose q
good athlete in Secley. the hammer thrower.
Spraker. the wonderful high jumper. will re-
main at the school. In practice last week he
went over the stick at u feet q. inches. This
beats his jump made at Princeton on May g.
by one inch.
The best Of the athletic talent Of Trinity
School will graduate this year. but there will
bn plenty of promising material on hand for
next season. The most serious loss for the
school will be Trede. the champion middle dis
tance runner. In nearly every race in which he
took part this year he won poin 5, and they
had a great deal to DO with the schools stand
ing At the finish. Rogers, the shot putter. is
another athlete whose loss will be lclt. but it is
