by Captain Corbett, and a large squad
= expected to be on hand for the first
workout.
The chances Of the Hilltop Props of
retaining the scholastic baseball title,
which they won last spring. are not
particularly bright, as only two of last
years championship aggregation are
available this season, the rest having
been graduated last June or failed to
return this year. The two veterans are
Captain Corbett. who is without a
doubt the best pitcher now performing
in local scholastic circles, and Bill

tribe won from Technical High last
May.

Philadelphia Central High School;
