TEN OTHER MATCHES ON

By the time ibo sun sets behind Uio
vet goal-poles on Houston Field tBts
afternoon, the triple deadlock for the
runner-up poaltlon In th.a Inttrscholas
tic Lengue raco w"l have been broken.
Ther is a Drobabllltr of a tie for first

Busumine a solid and sereno station
atop the league ladder.
Two league mutches are on for deci
sion this n w on the reanecttve twin
erldlrons nt Tnenrv-ninth and Cam
bria streets and Twenty-ninth and
Somerset streets, the Mirrors meeting
Oermantown High and Northeast High
opposing South Philadelphia High. West
Philadelphia High leader InJhc Inter
scholastic League bv n onc-polnt mar
cln, is not scheduled for league compe
tition today, nor is Frankford nigh.
C. II. S. Conceded Victory
The Crimson and Gold already has
been conceded a victory over German
town High, because of the latter's ap
parent weakness for several reasons, in
cluding tho loss of half n doten regulars
owing to scholastic IncHtrfMHH' T7n
less Northeast Hih is able to stop
Cnach Johnson's Southwark eleven, tho
Mirrors will become undisputed leaders.
However, if tho fl-" "hlladelnhians
Xlay up to form and trample over the
Tchlves, the league leadership will re
ult in an even thing between tho for
mer and Doctor O'Brien's machine,
each with a total of four points.
Of tlit interscholastic elevens only
Central High's goal-line remains un
crossed to date. Defeating Catholic
High, Wilmington Hlfih, Lower Mcrion
High and Trankfoid High in rotation,
the Crimson and Gold has piled up a
total of 110 points. In tho Lower
Merlon fracas, however, n field goal was
tirop-klcked against the Mirrors, and
thus far this three-pointer hasbeen the
only score made by Central's opposi
tion. Three Cornered Fight
After today's league scores have been
handed down, the chances are that Cen
tral High, favorite for the champion
ship, will have two threatening and
dangeronB rivals. Oermantown High
and Frankford High are virtually out
of the fight. They will be used from
now on only for the purpose of being
trampled on by the other four elevens.
At the present time "Nig" Berry's
West Philly Speedsters are recognized
as -i the most serious contender for the
dladem In O. H. S.'s possession.
South Philly has a very good chance
o8 eliminating Northeast High this
afternoon. All It has to do is defeat the
Ijehlgh avenue Red and Black. And if
'Coach Johnson's youths succeed then
Central High will fear the downtowners
as much as It does West Philadelphia
High. The Crimson and Gold has won
the Glmbel Cup In the last two years,
west fnuly was runner-up in 11)18,
and South Philly surprised the scholas
tic world here by winning the title In
Besides the two league contests on
today's schedule, ten other matches be
tween school, prep and academy elevens
will be decided. Three of the Interaca-
demlc League teams, who start their
own little warfare next week, have hard

League was"the first to get under wny,
nnd now comes one composed of teams
that were members of the Northeast
Manufacturers' Hnsebnll League.
This organization has confined Its
efforts to the bnsebnll diamond, but nt

the line-ups of the teams shows that
some good cage contests are due to be

will have tight teams (lames will he

The Nntivlty Club has won a place
in the forefront of athletics in Philadel
