lie and Bux-Mont Mines
TWO TENNIS CONTESTS
BY PAUL PREP

THE largest number Of scholastic
L baseball games so far this season are
scheduled for this afternoon. -Four
leagues have games listed on today's
card, while many other contests are
booked.
The Catholic League season will open
this afternoon. when st. Joscph's Prep
meets Villanova Prep on the Main Line.
This game should be close. but the Villa
nova team doesn't loom so strongly as
the Crimson and Gray. Johnny Lawn
has snappy team ut Seventeenth and
Stiles streets
The 1ntcrsrholastic League also Will
open the 1922 campaign this afternoon.
Two games are scheduled. Germantown
Academy will be entertained by Epis.
copal Academy. and Penn Charter will
travel to Haverford School. Episcopal
has another speedy aggregation this
year, and should beat the Quakers from
Germantown avenue and School lane.
The Churchmcn have hard hitting
crowd and the fielding is good. The
pitching, however, Is weak.
Haverford Strong
Penn Charter looms strong. but
Haverford has crack team. The
Main Liners have been going along at
a great clip this season and have estab-
liShed better record than the Fif-
tecnth street institution. Dick Mer-
rit's boys. however. have been meeting
the best in the city. and have made a
good showing. This game should be
close.
Three Interscholastic League con
tests. are booked. Catholic High and
Southern High will meet on Cahil
Field. IF Catholic gets the pitching
there won't be anything to it. The
Cahillitcs have strong team, and with
little confidence will maze the other
teams hustle. Southern isn't very
| strong. and It looks as though thS
down towners are going to sink farthef
into the cellar.
Northeast High will meet German =
town High at Pencoyd. This should
be little more than practice game
for the Clivedcns. Germantown has
another wonderful team. while the
Archives arc woofully weak. The Rec
and Black should garner very few hit:
off the Green and White twirlers. while
Germantown hittcrs will be able tc
boost their averages. The game SHOULD
give Germantown a stronger hold or
! first place.
Central High Fayorite
Frankford High will play Centra
High on Houston Field. Central has ;
fairly good team and should be fas
enough to beat the Pioneers. Frankfort
doesn't appear TO be a team that will
cause any trouble. while DIR. O'Rrien'
nine is liable to upset the dope an
time this season. The Mirrors shoul
win by a fair margin.
A pair of Bux- Mont League game
are on. too. Soudcrtown High will pla
Perkasie High. while Quakcrtown Hig
is entertained by Lansdale High. nc
much is known about these teams. an
nc predictions ran be made.
Chestnut Hill Academy will be op
posed by Friends Central. nj Forty
fourth street and Parkside avenue. 81
Luke's School plays Germantow
Friends on the latter's grounds. Th
Friends team seems to be fast, and vii
give st. Lukc's hard fight.
Darby High will meet Norrstow,
High, Media High battles Chester lIig
and the second team of Northeast an
Germantown Highs will fight it out fl
the other contests scheduled for til
day.
Two tennis matches also ar
scheduled for the afternoon. Lowe
Merton High will entertain German
