The big game Of the afternoon will
be the Germantown catholic contest.
Germantown went through tho entire
1921 seastn without defeat. and
Justly claimed the city championship;
The team played brilliant baseball. ana

against Penn Charter twice this sea-
son in practice games. The first con-
test ended 90. while the other score
was 1872. The Clivedpn twirlers al

lpay upset the dope.
(sprma ntown should win tomorrow.
FrankfOrd Highs game on Northeast
Field will give the fans a good line on
the strength Of both teams. In prac-
tice both looked good. While it is he
opinion Of the "wise crackers that the
game Will be close. it might be run
away for either team. No one has seen
the opposing ntpes in action this season,
and nothing can be said on the chance
of either aggregut
West Philadelphia should have an
easy time with Southern High. The
SpeedbOys loom as tho strongest con-
tender for Germantown's title. and are
going to put up a hard fight. Southern:

the other teams are going to hit the ball
frequently, and the West Philadelphians
will be forced to field fast to save hits.
Southern doesn't seem to have a hit :

which team will win the title.
