4 II 10 evident 10 those who have been
keeping an eye on the high school track
games this spring that the championships
next Saturday are going 10 concern mostly
the Brooklyn institutions. The large ma
iority Of the athletes who have been winning
races cone from that borough a. they have
for q number Of years gone by. AZ 70 Nhich
% the Brooklyn schools has the best chance
there IL the usual division Of opinion. Many
think that IL is Manual Training. which has
won more championships th-n any other
school. and that probably IL the best guess.
On paper Manuals strength does not ap-
pear a. great a. some Of the others. but the
fact that she has been ge,tiaG point trophies
right along IL not 90 be overlooked.
| u IL the second. third and fourth places
BY which the school has been scoring most
heavily and this h how she must win. The
most optimistic Of the Manual supporters
last winter and those who knew sOmethinE
about the team TOO admitted that they
had no expectation Of getting the title In the
indoor games they did. though. Manuals
prospects next saturday would be a great
deal more encouraging II Il were not for the
p s. A. l.. rule which restricts an athlete
around man and he alone easily might
clean enough points 10 carry the meet
were he permitted TO enter In the sprints
and field events. A. Il n. the cOach's prob
lem will be TO start him IN the events where
he can get the biggest score. Erasmus
Hall also will suffer by the rule. for she has
. very vsraatile performer in "A. Gamble
In this case. however, Il will not make q
great deal OF difference. because no one
expects Erasmus 10 win anyhow.
Commercial y a school that viii bear
watching. Il b particularly strong in three
events. the two Junior spirits and the
mile. There are A. well q number Of boys
who may slip In secOnd or third here
and there and swell w the score toa respec-

Boys High school h banking on the
fact that Paul O'Leary has promised 10
run IN the hurdles In these two races alone
they figure ON ~ points. a pretty high
estimate. and they are certain TO get their
share IN the Held event, and several points
A. least In the sprints. Totalled up II makes
very respectable ground on which 10 base
hopes. One thing a. least remains certain.
