SCHOOL TEAMSON !.
LAST LAP FOR CUP
Sectional Spirit Keen When City
Mines compete--Three Big
Games Tomorrow

Revenge will be sweet to the West
Philadelphia High School players II
they succeed in trimming Germantown
High in the High School League game
tomorrow, in spite Of the fact that the
chance to win the iptcrscholnstic title
has passed, West Philadelphia has NOT
forgot the results Of the last West
Philadelphia Germantown contest
Although the rivalry between the
schools Is friendly but intense. the fact
that Germantown's best high schooi
squad In many seasons Is matched with
the representative school nine from
across the river accounts for the large
crowd of spectators other than high
school graduates who attend these
games. 1t Is a game which attracts the
citizen who realizes 1t is test between
two sections--West Philadelphia and
Germantown being separated by some
| five miles Of buildings, parks and terri
tory, including Fairmount Park and the
river. The game will be played at Ger =
mantown.
In addition to this match, the South
ern High nine plays Central High at
Houston Field, and Frankford High
meets the Northeast High nine at
Northeast Highs field. So all three
| league games bring together teams from
various sections Of the city. and the
interest is keen in all Of them. North :
east has been squirting In the league, and
| Frankford cannot afford to take any
chances IN this game, which should be
well worth seeing.
Gransback Frankford's Twirler
Captain Herb Travis was not slated
for mound duties in the game with
Germantown, and it would have been
Gansz VS.. Gransback. the Frankford
hurler. Gransback will oppose the Ger.
! mantown lad. as Travis is needed in the
infield. Frankford's experience in ear
lier games proved that the inield COM
bination worked better with Travis in
action there, while either Reineckc or
Gransback can be used for mound
! duties.
The Germantown Frankford game,
postponed from last Friday because OF
the rain, will be the last league gamo
Of the season. Frankford and German
town will play the second league game
scheduled prior to this postponed con
