FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
P. S. II, of The Bronx, and IL
of Manhattan, Both Showed
Proves During Season.

About one hundred boys, all th,, Ar.
left from a field Of almost nine bn,-
bred, are awaiting the last and no,,
pleasant part Of The Tribune ba,,b,n
tournament, that comes this week v;..
a DIT more interest than they di8 n.

They are waiting for the distribu,,s,

/ York. WV
There will not be a serie, far n.
championship this year, as the Publ.
Schools Athletic League, which IA.
been directing the tournament, he, d.
cided that, with examination time com.
ing on, the boys need more tim. ,.s
thought for their lessons, and the h.
terest such a series would arou,.
would divert too much Of that tin.
and thought from school books. 1, vs.
/ thought that round Of games couls
be arranged after school closed. but
as the Public Schools Athletic League
/ does not carry on its contests sfts,
the school year ends this, too, was i'm.
/ possible. So each team will 20 on con.
/ fident that IL could have won n,
greater New York championship.
The five teams that finished the sea.
/ son were good teams, too. For q.
ample, the team from Public School II,
which won first honors in The Bronx;
| Public School II finished the season
with a record Of fourteen games won
and one lost, and the only defeat cane
early in the elimination round.
Every member of the team played
good ball, take the word Of Marvin
/ Becker, the coach, and c. Y. Hawkins
| the principal, for that. Perhaps q
} shade more of the honors for the vie.
/ tory fell to the share OF Tomn /.
! Walters, whom they called their Big
| Six" pitcher. Tommy was perhaps q
bit too liberal with free passes in some
/ of the games, but whenever he did e.
in a pinch he showed at MS best
Harry Walters, his brother, was bis
! battery mate, and his work behind the
/ bat was so commendable that he will
probably be chosen captain for mex!
| season.
Hard hitting was big factor in sll Of
P. S. lis games, and Bill Hague, the
! left fielder, carried off the honor IN
this department, with Lefty Moisson,
the right fielder, who got two hons
runs in the deciding game OF the final
round, a close second.
P. s. IL also had its Home Run Baker
| in Eddie Winters, whose work at third
and at bat did much TOWARD bringing
home the honors TO his school. TIE
other boys that did their share TOW.
ard winning the borough championship
were Hancock, in centre field; Bill! Rich,
at first base; Arthur Huston and BIZ
Falcone. Huston, in addition 70 play.
/ ing a good game at short, furnished
/ the laugh stuff during the games. And
all the boys say that Philip Curry vu
| the best mascot they ever had.
( The tournament is not over in The
! Bronx, for three teams are still fighting
I for the second and third prizes. The
! teams that are left are p. s. II, 7. s.
! &c and P. S. SO. These will wind W
their battle by the middle of the wesf
Each has an evenly balanced team AMI
each is confident Of winning nothing
but the silver medals, so the last games
of the series promise to be the keefsH
of the fixture.
P. S. 8, which won the honon n
Manhattan, did not lose a game 10 the
tournament. There were several rs,
! sons, too. One Of them was the inneIe
and another was Ellis, the righthsnd
pitcher. Some of the coaches and AN.
| ietic directors in the district say 'h,'
Borgas at first base, Finn at seeordl
| Dezlin at short and Turner at nifs
! form one of the best combinations Of
schoolboys in greater New York.
! In the last nine games they mao
only three errors. Not bad RECORD i''
| schoolboys. a..
Dezlin is the only big boy en- w
team, the others averaging about III
pounds. Dezlin did most Of the nesV
| hitting, and his work in the field ""
especially noteworthy.
Ellis did all the pitching, and ~
wound up his season in blaze OF slOih
I for his last two games were shut-ouI
/ In the game with ?. ). 30 Ellis sHuSA
/ out twenty-one batters.
This is not the first year that r. %

round and lost its last game 70 ~.
