MANY GAMES TODAY

B rriends Central School athletes have
made a good record in baseball ana
msut ot snorts, The Blue and Gray ath-
,rach hayc attracted more attention this
so, ie..o than ever before. partly because
H. schools athletic teams have sprung
number of surprises and have shown
snns;dcrable Improvement over the
tsams Of past seasons.
pS Inbn RI. Bell. physical director Of the
.obool has had the track squad in
sborpc. TS Marks's work in the. sprints
s,a' rsa bccn commendable. With Rowland,
mnas,nrood ~, and Bonner. Coach Bell has

With With Episcopal Academy. &. ..- ..
Ncpeak Helps st. Joe to Win
Ncpeak's clever work in the st. joe
70 Sale baseball game enabled the col
i.nisns 70 win the Catholic league title
restordny, II to 20. st. Joe won by
soaring three runs in the third aud six
n.orc in the fourth. Try as hard as they
could La Sale could not overtake this
lead and as result four teams are
fIed in the lcague-Catholic High and
81 Toe for first place and La Sale and
West Catholic High for third place.
West Catholic High players will visit
yianova tomorrow afternoon for a
league game. All eyes will be focused
on The Main Liners. who are way be-
hind in their schedule of games as Villa
nova has not yet played single Cath
oic League game.
Southern Continues TO Gain ..
Southern High added another game to
tbe winning list when Northeast High
was walloped, o to Z. Southern de-
served the verdict. It was another one
of the tardy league games which failed
to get started until we'll after d o'clock,
tbrec quarters of an hour after the
schedule time. 1t was stated that there
was difficulty in securing an umpire.
which seems TO be the gid league alibi
for late starts.
Radnor High trimmed Germantown
Academy. following st. Luke's School y
eyample. The overwhelming score of
16 to 6 hardly suggests that Radnor
was playing team which has the
honor of leading the Interacademic
League. In Justice to Germantown. it
shonld be explained that Diusmore. the
hest twirlcr. was being saved" for
fhp Interacadcmic League game with
Friends Central.
Radnor had nothing to do with this
arrangement, and il the Mannheim off e
cials saw fit to schedule this game the
day before the Interac test that was
their lookout. Radnor deserves all tho
credit which goes with victory. II Ger.
mantown Academy sacrificed the Rad
nor game to win from Friends Cen
tral, or in the cndeavor to win from tho
Blue aud Gray. that is Germantown $
misfortune. 1t was n big defeat for
Germantown and big and we'll earned
victory for Radnor. How much longer
will tho big private and preparatory
school mines schedule games under these
circumstances?
League Tennis Teams Active
Haverford School and Penn Char

day afternoon. Haverford defeated
Camden High in a match WHICH was

Ewing. Staunton. S. Ewing and Nc
Clatchey gathered in the points fol
IIavcrfOrd. James. of Camden. saved
his team from a shutout.
Coach Strong's Sturdy Penn Charter
winners were Mt il again. Episcopal
