TODAY'S TWIN BILL TO DECIDE HEAD OF BASEBALL LEAGUE

With the leadership of the Eastern Intercollegiate League at stake the Varsity will stage a twin bill with Pennsylvania this afternoon at Soldiers Field. When the first game begins at 2.30 o'clock Captain Eddie Loughlin will probably be on the mound, with Drib Braggiotti slated to relieve him for the last half of the afternoon.

Both teams have won three games this year and lost two, giving each a League-heading average of .600, although the Crimson also has to its credit a tie with Princeton. As far as any comparison is possible it looks as if the Mitchellmen's .273 batting average, compared with Pennsylvania's .220, will give them the jump at the plate, while the Quakers' crack fielding is going to make scratch hits and bases on errors as scarce as the well known hen's teeth on a duck farm.

Pennsylvania's team is built around Captain Don Kellett, the outstanding short stop in the League, and Johnny Powell his veteran partner at second. In the pitcher's box Hal Sked and Andy Barton will share honors, with both men capable of turning in a Grade A performance. For Harvard, Fred Mitchell will stick to the winning lineup that took Princeton and Cornell. Ben Prouty in center field and Phil Hines at second have given the Varsity an extra punch it didn't have before they were sent into the second battle with the Ithacans, and Mitch isn't going to break up a winning outfit. Charley Nevin, the siege gun who is leading the League in batting with a .500 average, will have another chance to push up his record.
