ON ST. JOE'S NINE
Five Youngsters Show Brilliant
Form on Diamond With
Stiles Street Team
TRACK OUTLOOK BRIGHT

Now that the scholastic baseball and
track season is underway, report comes
from st. Joseph's Prep that the Stiles
Streeters expect to have one of their
best teams in years on the diamond, and
recognition before the season is over.
In the first three weeks of practice
Coach Barker, Of the nine, made con-
siderable changes in the linc-u and
at present even veterans from last sea
sons team are sitting on the bench.
The Prep lads won victories
over the Normal School nine,
and the Chestnut Hill Academy team.
The team that represented st. Joe in
those games was composed of Marty
Kane, catcher; Conners. pitcher :;
kehoe, first base; Martin, second base
Captain Murphy, short stop; Osborne,
third base Mallon, center field; But
Ter. right field, and Coyle, left field.
This nine is by no means permanent, as
is evident from the way that Coach
Barker is shifting the men in the prac-
tice games.
Fine Finds
Osborne. Coyle, Kehoe, Conners and
Butler are all new finds, and each one
is showing up well. Osborne is only
pub hCiulLb uHu DulllIG
ability stamp him as one Of the stars of
the team. He Is husky, fast and has a
fair knowledge of the game. With q
little more seasoning, he should develop
into one of the best third basemen In
scholastic circles.
Corners. a pitcher, is also valuable
find. In both of the games that he has
pitched he was always master of the
situation. and Coach Barker expects to
use him at least once a week.
Kehoe is staging duel for the first
base job with Joe Cannon, a veteran.
So far this season, Kehoe has had the
edge on Cannon, and 1t would not be
surprising to see him land the job per-
manently.
The strongest part of the team is
around second and short. Martin and
Captain Murphy, respectively, holding
down these positions.
Breslin Still Out
Leo Breslin, the st. Joe all-around
athlete, and veteran from last sea-
sons nine, has not as yet reported for
the team, because Of an injury that he
received during the basketball season.
1t is expected that Leo will report next
week some time, and If he displays some
of his old time form, there is going to
be a new face in the outfield.
The track prospects at st. Joe are
exceedingly bright.

and one Catholic League fray will be
the features of the scholastic baseball
card today. These games will be be-
tween the Central, Catholic, Northeast.

mantown High aggregation should wal
lop the West Phillie nine. Villanova
Prep and st. Joe's Prep both have
strong teams, and hard game should
