ON THE FIRST BOUND
-WITn CLERKIN,

All roads will lead to St. Mary's
 field tomorrow afternoon where the
 first game of the series between the Eaoeys and the Corbin teams will be played. Interest in the first game has
 been intensified during the week by The fact that the Corbin lineup seems to be as strong as the Kaceys.
 Jimmy Clinton may not ne able to do the hackstopping for the Corbni team tomorrow. He injured a finger on his throwing hand in a recent game and 1t will probably not be in condition for tomorrow.
 Micky Noonan will don the mask and chest protector for the 'taceys to- morrow. He has been away for the past few weeks recuperating from severe attack Of malaria. He is feel ing fine and reports that he is aching to get back into a uniform again.
 Nom Begley will not be seen on sec ond base for the kaceys. He has been signed up until October with the Norwalk team and his offer is ot such a nature that he doesn't feel that he would like to give 1t up. He has been playing great ball there and the fans are wild over him.
 With either Griffen or Wolf in the box for the Corbin team, the kaceys will have to swing their war clubs to perfection if they expect to get any bingles of these two twirlers. Grif- fen will likely be the choice of the management for the first game
 John Kiniry will be seen tomorrow back in the Kaceys lineup. He will play right field. Hs hac a knack of worrying the opposing pitchers into walking him or putting them over where he can sock them.
 Mccormack, the kensington Kid" will probably be seen on the mound for the kaceys. He has been laid upl for the past few weeks with an infec- tion in his right leg, but reports that he is in excellent shape for tomor- rows battle
 Jim Tracy, Australian heavyweight pugilist was booked to said today for 7 Argentine where he is to meet Firpo. South American heavyweight cham pion on October at Buenos Aires
 The St. Louis Cardinals have won eleven out of sixteen games played with the Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds.
 Washington yesterday won the | champ pionship of the Union Printers | International Baseball league, defeat ing St. Paul, 16 to 5.
 It is our opinion that Budnick is better all around player than Wojak at third, though the Corbin man is a real good third sacker. In the out field, the Corbin team seems to have the shade on the Kaceys though it is a slight one. Snyder and Dudack in left, are both good men at bat, with Snyder more speedy than Steve. Kill duff and Corbn and Huber and kiniry are evenly matched.
 According to this dope, both teams are evenly matched and should fur nish a thrilling contest for the fans.
 Joe Fitzpatrick will not be seen with the kaceys tomorrow He has been playing ball with the Bethel team for the past few weeks and will in all probability be with them tomor- row.
 In comparing the two teams the catching staff, without a doubt is good on both sides with Noonan having the shade over Clinton. The twirlers are about evenly matched in both speed and an assortment of curves.
 Ray Begley and Al Blanchard are good men in the first sack and both hit opportunely "Yiggs" Patrus is much stronger with the stick than Jim Walsh, and at short, Preisser has been playing better brand of ball than Green. Green hit a slump in fielding a few weeks ago and hasn't seemed to recover yet. Preisser has been playing ball in good style lately and would be real good if he didn't think so much of himself.
