 This is the first time double hea der has been played at the field this season. It is regarded as an ex- nerirent. Through the generosity of the company, many improvements have been made. The diamond has been rolled and leveled, and the team has been strengthened by the addition of several we'll known players.
 The team is struggling for first place in the City league in New Britain, and has stacked up against fast teams. The mana cement feels that the team represents not only the Rockwell Drake company, but the town of Planville, and thinks that 1T the town wants to be represented by 2 good team the team deserves to be supported. It is now possible to get games with teams from Colts Patent Arms Mfg Co. of Hartford, and Win chester's and Marlin Rockwell from New Haven. In order to bring these teams to Plainyille, a suitable guaran- tee must be furnished, and in order to do this, the fans must support the team For this reason the manage ! ment appeals to the fans to attend the games tomorrow, and show that they want to put Flainville on the map ln the world of sport. It has been ar ranged to have ice cream. soda and cigars sold at the field.
