HERB TRAVIS A STAR

Southern High School came to life
in the Interscholastic Baseball League
by beating the Central High nine. o to
4. 1t was a source Of great satisfac-
tio nto the downtown players and root
ers. for it was Couthcrn's first league
victory and it placed the team on a par
with Central High. their opponents.
There was another interesting league
game in which Frankford High lost to
Northeast High. q to G. The lucky
seventh for Northeast brought them five
runs. Herb Travis. the F'rankford
twirler. did all he could to bring victory
20 his school. but the odds were against
him. His individual record was wotthy
of note. Two runs, three hits which
scored two more runs. three outs and
two assists. That's all Travis did yes
terday and in spite of that his team lost
the game. '... a. :
Northeast High is now in second
rlace with two games won and one lost.
Watch Northeast in the remaining
league games. They have habit Mt the
Lehigh avenue school of losing that
first league game and then they are of.
That is what happened this year. Ger
mantown High and West Philadelphia
did not play. This time it was not the
fact that n field was lacking. but there
was no umpire on hand. 1t would seem
that teams so particular about arrange
nents for games would prepare ac
cordingly. 1t was stated that the avail
able material for the officiating job was
not satisfactory to Germantown.
