Wagner Best Shortstop

wagner, Of Frankford, deveIoped into
the best shortstop, being more reliable than
the others. Miller and Brown were good
batters, but poor ielders, while Schafer,
OF Germantown was a flne fielder but very
weak in batting.
This years bunch of outhelders was the
best seen for many years and several OF
them will bear watching. The playing of
Captain AL Mouradain, of Central High,
and that Of Bill" Carter were easily the
outstanding features of the past season.
Mouradain was the fastest youngster of the
local school teams and stole several bases
IN every game Of the season, with the ex.
ception OF the second game with Northeast
The last year was also a big one for
Carter, for beside peing picked on this
years allinterscholastic baseball team. he
was selected as All.Eastern soccer fullback
and All-Eastern guard on the basketball
team. White, the other outhelder, has had
more experience than Silverman, of Central
and Reeves, of Northeast, and the writer
feels justified in selecting him for right
field.
In selecting these two teams only those
players who took part in most Of the games
were considered, and it was unfortunate
that a player like Drew, Of Northeast, was
unable to compete in more games.
In calling these teams the All-Interscho-
lastic, perhaps the title is too far stretched,
because other scholastic teams like Brown
Prep, Girard College and La Sale were
not considered, for players like Hurry and
McKenty,' Of Brown Prep. could easily make
places on the selected teams.

KID WILLIAMS FAVORITE TO WIN

This battles rage also should rage on

Is not believed that either will be able--or
be lucky enough--to score a knockout This
dope is based on the fact that the minia-

how the title can be reverted TO williams.
Another unlooked-for finish that might cat

Ing of a sponge or towel into the ring by
one Of his seconds.
There is virtually no chance whatever
Of the mix resulting In a sponge-heaving
