Season Will Start Next Saturday With a Bright Outlook Nine Games Arranged. fja" VC SCHOFIELD'S MUFF COSTLY. Pretty Double Play-Feature of FieldingPitchers More Than Careful of Arm. At the Saratoga Park diamond yester- day afternoon the Boys High School baseball team opened the local scholastic season In earnest, with a game with Drake School. It was too-cold to utt the' real baseball fan, but there were upward of 500 on Only seven innings were played, and when the runs were counted, the Boys High team was found to have lost, 7 to 5.

In spite of this result, hpwr ever, it was apparent from the very start that the Marcy avenue school will turn out a team this year which should equal, if not surpass, any other local school team in speed. It was hardly fair to judge of the bine by yesterday's showing, for neither school let out. Drake School, which hails from New Jersey, however, was favored by: Dame Fortune, while the Red and Black' team was not. The defeat was directly! attributable to a bad muff by left fielder of the Boys High when he dropped an easy fly in the sixth inning, which sent three men scampering: across the home plate. He is a go8i' fielder, but his hands were numb, and he was charged with two errors before hos.

tilities ceased. In batting," neither team showed up strongly, despite the fact that the twirl-ers were very careful about letting out their arms. Ulrich, a new pitcher for the Boys High team, showed a trifle green, but he should develop into a good pitcher with a little experience. In fielding, the feature proved to be a pretty doable play oh the part of the Drake School Infield. Smith, at Bhort, took the hit, tossed it over to Flannery, at second, who in turn caught the battor by getting it to Walton at first in fine style.

The second basemen of both teams were the bright particular stars, although the Drake School boy was charged witi two errors. Dwyer, for the locals, bad a1 field day, for he scored twice, had two. bits, three put-outs, two assists and no- errors. The infield, as a matter of fact, was in fine form, and It was due to the outfield that the error column proved so, popular with the Boys High team. The coach of the local team, Nohowel, said after, the game that he expected great things from his charges.

The Drake team tallied a run in the opening round on Houston's whack for two bases and Schofleld dropping Kennedy's hoist. In the third they added another on Flannery's infield blngle, Houston's retirement and Ohlson playing firstf instead of throwing home on Foley's roller. In the sixth, the Drake boys reg-i istered 8 counts on Kennedy's single and steal of second, Schofield's muff of Smith's; easy floater, a single by Walton, a wild throw by Stevenson and two stolen bases. In the eighth they made their last pair of rnus on Grover's one timer, Flannery's double and Foley's hit for a base. Boys High made 2 run.

in the third on Houston's low throw, on HennesSy's bounder, a passed ball, Flannery's fumble of Dwyer's hit, an error by Foley and Dwyer booting Scliofield's tap. In the fifth they were presented with a tally when Kreusler went the entire li on being hit, an out and a wild pitch. In the seventh they added 2 more on a pass to Hen-nes6j, Dwyer's single, two stolen bases-and Chadowltz's double. The score: Boya High. Drake School.

Attendance WO. POLY PREP READY. Opening of Season Next Wednesday Will Find Coach Backus' Charges in Trim. The Poly Prep ball tossers are hustling to get into condition for the opening contest on Wednesday with the team of Fordham Prep on tho latter's dia mond in Manhattan. The Livingston street players are showing daily Improvement In their work under the able in struction of Coach Backus.

He is devoting considerable time to the insido boys and they will ba up to all kinds of tricks when the season gets under way. The squad Is out nearly every afternoon on the Poly Field in Bensonhurst until dusk, and a game between the regr ulars and the subs is in order. In these contests the candidates derive a great deal of benefit, and in turn it gives the i coach a chance to get a line on the abilities of the players. I The bulk of the twirling will probably be done by Wiarda. who served up the i benders in a few games last season, and Walsh, a newcomer.

Neither has shown surprising form, but as the season pro- gresses they will no doubt show a big i improvement in their work on the fir- -ing line. Butler Is holding the catcher job, and the son of the well known leader Is provins himself one of the best athletes that ever wore the Blue and Gray colors. He Is gritty and is a good hand at nearly all branches of Bport. In, I the backstop position he excels in throw- ing to the bases and is also handy with the bat. Bailey will be the sub-catcher.

The Infield will likely take the field on Wednesday, with Miller on the Inltal corner Moore on the halfway mark, Crafts' at short, and Lyons on third base. The subs will be Bullwlnkle for first. Cable for short and Undorhill for third. In the outfield will be found Captain An- drews in right, Mulvihill, leader oi the I 1907 team, in center, and Bryan formerly of St. Paul's School, in left field.

The I trio promise to form one of the best outfields Poly has had in several years. The schedule of the nine is a hard one and Coach Backus is taking care that none of his charges shall go stale at the start of 'he campaign. jj BROOKLYN BOYS' RELAY RACE. A one-mile relay for New Jersey, Man- hattan and Brooklyn schools has been added at the tieid ana irac East Jersey Hlgn acnooi wasui. Pi-ir.

Decoration UBy' LOCALS BADLY CRIPPLED. Seven Regulars Ruled Out by Facul-ty. Which Weakened Home Team. The Manual Trainins High School base ball team lost the- opening game In th ahnnis Athletic League series to the Morris High School nine at Marquette Field yesterday afternoon by 5 to 2. The defeat of the Brooklynites was not urprlslng.

as seven of the 'varsity squad -ad been ruled off Because of lessons Hat -week. The principal weakness of the team was behind the bat, where McMahon let five balls pass him. His weakness appeared to affect the twirling of Rooney. who made three wild pitches These counted in the run-getting of the Manhattanites. The weather was too cold for baseball and the biting wind was responsible for many of the errors, eleven In number.

Morris was charged with one more mis-play than the locals Yule who was chosen to serve the slants for Morris diu creditable work, fanning no less than twelve of the Manualites. a showing which was considered remarkable under the weather conditions existing. Rooney only pitched six innings for the locals and then was relieved by tatites, a grammar school recruit from Public School No. 92. The star plays consisted of a beautiful throw by Rooney from 'right field, nailing the runner at the plate; a brilliant catch by Skelly.

and two more by.Reardon. Manual tauten in me run being the only earned one in the me. on a double by Skelly a steal of third and a pretty squeeze play with Alar ich the latter reaching first on a bunt. the' sixth Brennan hit afely, was sacrificed bv Norman and camo home while half of the opposing infield was throwing Norman's hit around. In the first inning Morris scored when Henneberger's hit was who tossed the sphere into the bleachers, and Rooney caused him to tally by pitching wild twice.

In the second Brennan hurled Lord's grounder into the stands, and a passed ball, followed by a hit resulted in his ecoring. Henneberger ost a good wallop by two feet on the foul line, but the old football chalk lines fooled the umpire, who allowed him two bases. He stole third and crossed the plate on a wild pitch. In the fifth Henneberger singled and then scored on Norman's wild throw of Elliffe's drive, the latter also registering on McClintock's hit. The score: MANUAL.

John's Collesre Should Win Chamrionship. At the recent regular meeting of the St. John's College Athletic Association Edward J. Kehoe, "09, w3 re-elected manafor of the basketball team for next eoason and at a meeting cf the basketball team. Bernard J.

Rellly. '09, was chosen captain. The pitching department is well equipped with "Bobby" Yates and "Big Larry" Broeden.righthanded pitchers, and John Castle, a southpaw. The catchers are Unger and Kehoe. Yates is at first sack and Johnny Cass at second base.

Captain Jollon is the shortstop and AzmowBkt, third base. The latter's fielding of bunts is noticeable. The outfield positions present Carey at left, "BbbbyV Yates or Castle in center, and Eeddy at right, all hard hitters. The utility players are Slblelcher, McCormack. and Flnnegan.

Special Interest is being, taken this year in the interclass baseball games of the college departmeent. The seniors seem to have the strongest team, while the Juniors are expected to be a -close second. They have Larry Brakken as pitcher and Dorman as catcher. Boland, Selbek, Azmowski and Smit hmake up the infield, while the outfield Is composed of O'Neill. Dody and "Jep" Leonard.

The seniors last Friday played the faculty. Each class has to play every other team In the college department. The class winning the most games Is tendered a dinner by the athletic association. PRATT BOYS INDIGNANT. The fact that the New York University baseball team refused to cross bats with the Pratt Institute team in New York yesterday, claiming the weather to be too cold, caused much indignation among the Pratt boys.

They claimed that on Friday the New York University team played Bowdoin, although it was just as cold. Pratt was particularly anxious to duplicate Inst year's success, when it won 17 to 5. The fact that many Pratt boys had stayed in town, despite a vacation, to sec the game, was one of the reasons why Pratt wanted to play. LONG BASEBALL SCHEDULE PROMISES FINE SPORT More Than One Hundred Games to Be Played by Local Schools. SEVERAL OUT-OF-TOWN TRIPS.

Any number of trips are arranged for up i Hudson towns, like Poughkeepsie, Lake' Mohegan, Dobbs Ferry and Cornwall. Jersey towns, liko Hackettsfown, Newark and Hackensack all come in for their share of attention. The most important out of town trip, however, is the Pratt journey, which takes ill Schenectady and Troy. The Adelphi games are to be played at the new grounds, on Crescent street, in tho Rideowood section.

Pratt will also play in Ridgewood again.

S. IS HOPEFUL. Hard Task Confronts the Baseball Coaches to Turn Out Sue- cessful Nine. Despite many difficulties encountered in outfitting the team and procuring suitable grounds for practice, the baseball team of the Eastern District High School is forming a successful combination. The school gymnasium and Mc-Carren Park have so far been the battling grounds for the thirty candidates, who have appeared for the various positions.

As nearly all are new men, Coaches Sperling and Thompson are having considerable difficulty in their choice for the regulars. Among the most promising candidates for. the pitcher's box are John Keenan, A. Kaplan and Harry Bitter, the latter no relation to his Superba namesake. Keenan is one of laBt year's men, but the.

work of Rltter has placed him in favor. There is a lack of players for the position of catcher. Michael McCaffrey and Louia Mllakson will probably change off as backstop. The former is another of last year's team. Harry Rubinowitz will undoubtedly hold down his old position on the initial bag.

For the midway, the strugglo rests between A. Schick, Phil McCaffrey ana Mrv Silvftrman. Eastern will depend upon Sidney Klein to watch third base, while at snort eitner n. aaizman or j. Donovan will gather up grounders and liners.

Pupils, teachers and alumni will turn out in force to help provide the team with uniforms. One-third of the profits will be handed over to the nine, the remainder to the general organization. OLYMPIC A. C. INCORPORATED.
