American League Outfit Filled
With Pro Stars Brings Fine
Record Here Today.

7 EADING contenders for the world
- basket ball championship, first
half champions of the American
League and this seasons conquerors
of the New York Celtics and famed
Renaissance five, the Philadelphia
Sphas come to Heurich's gym today
to meet the Brewers in the regular
Sunday game at Twenty-sixth and

Play will start about $3.50 o'clock,
following two preliminaries.
With a team young in years, but old
in experience, the Sphas will trot out
on the court among their squad an
All-American, former captain of
one of c. G. N. US greatest teams,
the second most valuable player in the
American League for two successive
years and a forward who led the East
erh League in scoring for four seasons.
None of the Spha regulars has been
playing the professional game less
than three seasons, while Cy Kasel-
man, colorful scoring ace formerly Of
the Eastern League, and George (Red)
Wolfe, erstwhile star with st. John S
of Brooklyn, have been with the team
for seven years.
The starting lineup of Kaselman,
Wolfe, Shikey Gotthoffer, Moe Gold
man and Gil Fitch gives the Sphas
practically the same combination that
won the 1933-34 American League
championship in their first year In
the major loop, after an uhprece-
dented drive to the second-half title
without defeat in IA games. The
team is regarded as the outstanding
