Germantown High takes first place
with five straight League victories TO
their credit. Halberstadts timely hit
ting and the brilliant stick work of Glib

test. Gibson's home run in the fourth
was just the tonic which the visitors
needed to get them going and in the
sixth the Halberstadt Gibson combine
again brought in n run.
Frankford High tied with west
Philadelphia for the second place by de-
feating Catholic High. 10 to 3, in six
innings. Frankford has been showing
considerable improvement and the game
was not n surprise. A fourth inning

runs. Lane. Reinecke, Bingham
