career
Van Baar van Slangenburgh was born in Meester Cornelis , which is now called Jatinegara, a sub-province of the Indonesian capital Jakarta . The "versatile and elegant footballer" played from 1920 to 1926 for the HBS club in The Hague , with whom he won the national championship in 1924/25. In total, he made 109 games for the Hague, in which he scored 66 goals.
In the championship season he was called to the Dutch Elftal for the first time . He made his debut on November 2, 1924 in a friendly against a selection from South Africa , which at the time was touring Europe as the Springbok Touring Team . He scored his first goal for Oranje on March 15, 1925. It was the winning goal in the 1-0 away win in Antwerp against Belgium , a long-range shot from 40 meters; van Baar van Slangenburgh had taken advantage of the Belgian goalkeeper leaning against the goal post with his arms crossed.
He then played, without scoring, on March 29 in the 2-1 win over Germany in Amsterdam and three weeks later in the 1: 4 defeat in Zurich against Switzerland . In the following two games, again against Belgium (5-0) and against Denmark (4-2), he contributed two goals each. After the game against the Danes, which took place in Amsterdam on October 25, 1925, he ended his international career and, in the following year, his footballing career entirely; he went back to the Dutch East Indies, where he had taken a job.
