Manual Wins Four of Six
First Places; Townsend
Loses by Three Points
STANDING OF THE SCHOOLS
By A. c. Cavagnaro

ming championship Oh the fuDllc
Schools Athletic League by overxhelm-
ing Erasmus Hall High School in one
of the sixth series of meets held in the
pool of Evander Childs High School
yesterday. Manual got four of the six
first places and won by a total of 38
points to Is.
Previous to the competition these
two schools were tied for the lead with
a record of five successive victories.
The Manual boys now lead with IL
points, followed by Erasmus Hall with
10. Townsend Harris, Commerce and
Stuyvesant are deadlocked for third
place with points each. Five other
teams are in the tournament.
The fact that two veteran swimmers
were on the Erasmus squad prevented
a Manual sweep. The pair who cap
tured the only first places credited to
Erasmus were Horace McMullen and
Hank" Rossetti, who have been in the
limelight of schoolboy swimming circles
for two years.
Near Schoolboy Record
Incidentally bth returned efforts that
were not even equalled by any of the
schoolboyse who engaged in the two
other meets held yesterday. McMullen
fairly "few" away from his rivals in
81 10 seconds, one second slower than
the p. S. A. l.. record. Rossetti per-
formed equally we'll although not
pushed, and won the 100-yard race in
! minute As seconds.
Dewitt Clinton rather surprised the
spectators by winning from Townsend
Harris Hall by the count of % to rs
points. However, the victory did not
materialize until the final event, the
220-yard swim when Fitzgibbons and
McNulty, the two star Clinton mermen,
finished first and second. This gave
Clinton eight points and enabled it to
overcome Townsend's four-point adj
vantage.
Another prominent performer for
Clinton was Neff who is handicapped
knee, the result of an accident years
ago. In the 50-yard swim he was lead
ing at the final turn. There take-off
caused him to fall back to third place,
and he was never able to retrieve his
position. Neff was the deciding factor
in Clinton's victory in the 16O-yard
relay, when he handed 2-yard lead to
his mate
B. H. S. Swamps Evander
In the other meet held Boys High
smothered the Evander Childs team by
a score of 80 to Ia points. Evander
was saved from complete rout when
Hobson won the 220-yard swim in the
snail pace time of minutes 81 seconds
Two other meets went by default
when Curtis again failed to appear to
meet Stuyvesant and Bryant forfeited
to Commerce.
