contests played, ana cJuaqlaga &

Academy braced remarkably in its
important games this season. Orange
High School beat the Academy lads
at the outset of the season but soon
after. against Central and ST. Bene-
diets, both of which on previous form
should have taken their measure, the
Academy boys elouted out victories.
Led by Captain Andy Dempsey,
Barringer will present its strongest
lineup. 1t is hoped that Jack Dia-
mond, the crack third baseman of the
Ridge Street School, will be able to
hold down his old position. He wa
out of the East Side game, and his

that "Murph" Cohen, who has the
only defeat of the New Jersey Inter
scholastic League champion, Mont
clair High School, to his credit, will
be chosen to start the game in the
box.
Conklin will probably be the Acad-
envy pitching choice, with Marine
Torres as the reserve. Academy has
an excellent southpaw in Lefty Rus

accept the responsibility in so i'm

Better days are in store for Central
I B.. Aool in its quest for the PEN
nant in the Newark High Schools
Athletic Association baseball series.
T'-r Central nine advanced into Sec
ond place yesterday as a result of
its win over South Side. Now comes
the advice that Kim Atha and
Charles opposite will join the team
next Monday, as the season of the
Central track team, with which the
pair has been competing, ends to-
morrow. and they will be free to take
up baseball. Atha's play around
third base was the feature
of the Newark Academy teams
play last spring. He is very
capable in the field, and what
is more important, is heavy
wielder of the bat. opposite will be
remem bered as the star pitcher of
the Franklin School team in the
Grammar School League two years.
When not pitching for Franklin he
played in the field, and it is at this
position that he will be given an op-
portunity. He is also good batter.
Beals Becker, who started the season
at third base with Central, has al
most recovered from the blood pol
son which incapacltated his
right arm and forced him
to discontinue after making
a splendid preliminary showing.
He will don togs Monday for the first
time With this bolstering Central
will play the three remaining league
games, one with Barringer and two
with East Side, with its champion
ship prospects greatly bettered
