Whom do you think is the best all

High Schools Athletic Association
Baseball League? Where can / make
| q study of agriculture?
ISADORE FITZPATRICK.
1t is rather early in the season to
! make u selection of the best player in
| the n. Fl. S. A. a. In his one league
! game. to date, Engelberger, of Cen
| trail. has, in my opinion, displayed eX-
| cellent ability Besides catching in
flawless style, Engelberger drove in a
| run with a two-b base hit and scored
two runs himself, one of which was
due directly to his speedy base run
ming. White, of East Side, is a star
pitcher, who hits well besides, while
Dempsey and KARI, of Barringer, are
also excellent players. Rutgers has
! school of agriculture that is highly
recommended. Address Registrar,
