IN New Public Baths.

The Public Schools Athletic League will hold
its annual indoor swimming meet on January
, IS. u has been decided TO make use OF the
new public baths OH Fast Twenty-third street.
which will be opened tomorrow. The regular
events. twenty. forty and sixty yard scratch
races. and lBO yard relay will be on the pro-
! gramme again this year. Last year Public
School u and Public School 9 were evenly
: matched for the largest number Of first places.
Public school II winning the twenty yard
1 race and the lao yard relay. and Public School
( . the forty and sixty yard races. IL Is din
| cult to draw line on the youngsters for the
coming meet, as IL has just been arranged ani
no entries have been sent In. but the two
schools just mentioned. as we'll as Public,
School i2s OF Bath Beach. probably will figure
prominently again. Public School i2s Is situ-
ated near Gravesend Bay. where the boys have
| a good chance 20 train. Il did well in the
races last year. landing several places.
With the high school championship games
I less than a week OF all the boys who are inter-
ested In track work aud their trainers are at
tempting to figure out the probable winner Of
the meet as well as of each race. Unless they
are all away on the track In their calculations
Manual Training will have little trouble In
keeping I he cup for another year. The second
place is by no means as certain. Erasmus
Han with MCNulty and England is scknowl-
edged TO be strong. and some think that IL IL
surpassed by Manual alone Boys High also

race between these two schools for second
honors.
The 100 and 270 yards Junior events are
puzzles, because the best men in these events
last year now are seniors. Cozzens Of Man
ual won both races last year. making 20 Sec
onds in the 22O and II seconds in the iOOrec-
ords for both. He now is a senior and will
run as such Taylor of Boys High made
lne time in trials held in that school Gently.
and although the time for these trials Is being
kept secret until after the meet it Is under
stood that Taylor came pretty close to Coz
zens's mark for the go yard run last year
In the 100 and 30 yards senior. conditions
are different. II it we're not for the fact
that COzzens OF Manual has had long siege
Of illness this winter and is consequently IN
very bad shape. he would undoubtedly run
away with both these events. As il is, how
ever. he may enter only one of these races,
and II 10 Is the lC0 yards he should have no
trouble IN winning 1t. In the go o'Neil
OF Boys High IL sure to figure. O'Neil won
the quarter mile last year. and this winter
he mas made a fine showing. In the high
school relay in the Stuyvesant meet he gained
about thirty yards on his man, and in prao-
tice he has been getting we'll under 20 seconds
In the go. Il IL generally conceded that
a 20 between him and Cozzens would de-
pend mainly on who got the pole. Baloin

school last Saturday in Is is seconds and
