jKACEY.CORBINS TO
 PLAY NEXT SUNDAY
Local Teams to Clash in First
 Game Of Series

The first game of a series of three sames for the city championship be- tween the Kaceys and the Corbin baseball teams will be played at St. Marys field next Sunday The best two out of three games will decide the winner.
 Kaceys Fnvoritcs.
 Sentiment among the baseball fans of the city seems to favor the Kaceys as being the stronger team but the Corbin nine has many packers who are ready to back their charges to the limit. Despite this fact, q close scrutiny of the two lineups gives the impression that the teams are equally matched and the contests between them should be worth watching.
 Corbin's Advantages.
 The Kaceys, according to the agree ment reached between the manage ment of the two teams. will be de- prived of the services of Billy Dwyer of Hartford. the snappy shortstop who injected so much life into the lineup in the game between the ka- ceys and the American Chain Co, nine of Bridgeport, and his loss will be felt, The Corbins on the other hand, have gained a point through this same agreement by the fact that they will be allowed to use Billy Wolf, pitcher, who has been turning some fine games this season.
 This will leave the Corbin team with three pitchers, while the Kaceys will have at the most only two, and it is doubtful if one of them will be in shape to twirl.
 McConn's Troubles.
 The problem that bothers Manager McConn more than anything else, is the filling in of the hole at second base. It will be necessary to put Green back at shortstop, and seeing that Nom Begley has been playing with the Norwalk team, it is doubt full if he will be available for the series In case that he will not be able to play with the kaceys, in all probability, Jim Walsh will be used at the second sack during the entire series. Noonan, catcher, has also been out of the lineup and it is not known yet whether he will be in the kacey lineup the first game.
 Regular Lineup.
 The Corbin team on the other hand. will have their regular lineup which is a strong one, and will be able to give the Kaceys stiff battle for the honors They have been going great guns during the past few weeks and have chalked up double victories month. With Chalmers, Griffen and Wolf as a pitching staff, they will be all set in the twirling line and the rest of their lineup will be present.
 Empires Picked.
 The umpires who have been picked l Mike Lynch and Eddie Crowley, should meet with favor in the eyes | of both the players and the fans. | Lynch has been working regularly | for the Kaceys at St. Mary's-feld and | has been giving excellent service. | Crowley, through pressure of busi- ness, was unable to attend to the um- piring duties and was forced to re- sign. He will be available for the | series, however, and should make a good partner for Lynch.
 interest High.
 A large crowd of fans is assured | at the field when the game starts, as |, the interest in the series is at high | pitch Both teams are out to win | and a great battle Of words is flying | fast through the players circles in | this city. It is even said that some heavy money is being put up by fol- lowers of both teams, and a large | crowd of rooters will be on hand to | cheer their favorites on. !
